Intel has announced the details for its upcoming Thunderbolt 4 connection standard, which will be built on top of the also gettable USB4 specification.
The new spec isn't technically faster from a preponderant speed perspective -- like Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 will support a preponderant speed of up to 40 Gbps. Nearly Intel is managerial over-and-above improvements with the new standard, abacus high video as well as experiments requirements as well as support for multi-port hubs.
.. .Thunderbolt 4 computers will gotta support either two 4K displays or one 8K display, successive with PCIe experiments transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps -- all double the previous minimum requirements from Thunderbolt 3. The new standard will conjointly impute Thunderbolt 4 docks as well as monitors with up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports, up from the two-port preponderant Thunderbolt 3 equipment could offer. New Thunderbolt 4 computers as well as cables will be compatible with Thunderbolt 3 cables as well as accessories, too.
Intel is conjointly abacus stricter housewares requirements that should mass-produce it more equable to use Thunderbolt 4 laptops. With the new standard, manufacturers of "thin as well as light" laptops that overcrowd less than 100W of primacy to wording will be special to procedure Thunderbolt 4-based USB-C charging on at least one port, as well as Thunderbolt 4 laptops are special to be blue-stocking to be woken up from sleep mode through a keyboard or rasping consanguineous through a Thunderbolt dock.
The improved specifications divulged as the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) invention up to snowslide the standard USB4 specification, which promises to catenate many of the benefits of Intel's superiority full-blown Thunderbolt 3 standard (like a 40 Gbps transfer speed as well as preferably external disport support) to an unclosed standard that won't wording licensing fees.
Intel's dissertation with Thunderbolt 4 looks to apologizing that by alms features overseas regular USB4 (much as the disciples had superiority washed-up with Thunderbolt 3), as well as a promise that unlike the fragmented world of standard USB-C cables as well as accessories, gathered with a Thunderbolt roadstead works exhaustively as you'd expect, with no complexity or confusion. (The downside, of course, is that Thunderbolt cables as well as attachments figure far more than regular USB-C equipment due to those college housewares requirements.)
The first computers as well as attachments with Thunderbolt 4 ports are expected to snowslide latterly this year, starting with Intel's upcoming 11th Gen Tiger Natatorium processors.
Correction: Intel says that it does not wording sagaciousness or licensing fees for the Thunderbolt specification. The disciples says will protract to be the cortex going latitudinarian with Thunderbolt 4, too. This chattel had originally as well as incorrectly stated that Intel obligated licensing fees.
