Q: What is Thunderbolt™ technology? Chevron Icon

A: Users have long wanted desktop-level performance from a mobile computer. Thunderbolt was developed to create new user experiences by simultaneously supporting the fastest data and most video bandwidth available on a single cable, while also supplying power.

Q: What is Thunderbolt™ 4? Chevron Icon

A: Thunderbolt 4 builds on the innovation of Thunderbolt 3 for a truly universal cable connectivity experience. Thunderbolt 4 always delivers 40 Gbps speeds and data, video and power over a single connection. It is the most comprehensive Thunderbolt specification yet with compliance across the broadest set of industry-standard specifications – including USB4, DisplayPort and PCI Express (PCIe) – and is fully compatible with prior generations of Thunderbolt and USB products. For full details please see the News Byte on the Intel Newsroom: https://newsroom.intel.com/news/introducing-thunderbolt-4-universal-cable-connectivity-everyone

Q: What is Thunderbolt™ 3? Chevron Icon

A: Computer ports with Thunderbolt 3 provide 40Gbps Thunderbolt – double the speed of the previous generation, USB 3.1 10Gbps, and DisplayPort 1.2. For the first time, one computer port connects to Thunderbolt devices, every display, and billions of USB devices. A single cable now provides four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other cable, while also supplying up to 100W of power. It’s unrivaled for new uses, such as 4K video, single-cable docks with charging, external graphics, and built-in 10 GbE networking. Simply put, Thunderbolt 3 delivers the best USB-C. Thunderbolt technology is a transformational high-speed, dual protocol, PC I/O delivering performance, simplicity and flexibility. Thunderbolt I/O technology lets you move data between your devices and your computer with 2 channels of 10Gbps flowing both ways (upstream and downstream) at the same time. And it allows you to connect as many as 6 devices, daisy chained, through a single compact port. Watch our What is Thunderbolt 3 video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DLTR67Yehk) on the Thunderbolt YouTube channel.

Q: How Thunderbolt™ 4 is different than Thunderbolt™ 3 and other solutions? Chevron Icon

A: Thunderbolt 4 Increases minimum performance requirements, expands end-to-end solution capabilities, and is USB4 specification compliant. For full details please see the Press Deck on the Intel Newsroom: https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/07/intel-thunderbolt4-announcement-press-deck.pdf

Q: Can my M1/M2 Base Chipset Macbook supports dual displays? Chevron Icon

A: No, M1/M2 Base Chipset supports only a single external display. (Only M1/M2 Pro, M1/M2 Max, and M1 Ultra Chipset supports dual displays).

Q: Why is Thunderbolt™ the best USB-C for docking? Chevron Icon

A: Now, one compact port provides Thunderbolt 3 data transfer, support for two 4K 60 Hz displays, and quick notebook charging up to 100W with a single cable. Also, any Thunderbolt or USB dock can connect to a Thunderbolt 3 computer making it the most advanced and versatile USB-C docking port available.

Q: Can I connect USB devices to a Thunderbolt™ 3 port? Chevron Icon

A: Yes, Thunderbolt 3 ports are fully compatible with USB devices and cables.

Q: Can I connect Display Port devices to a Thunderbolt™ 3 port? Chevron Icon

A: Yes, Thunderbolt 3 ports are fully compatible with DisplayPort devices and cables.

Q: Is Thunderbolt™ 3 backwards compatible with Thunderbolt™ and Thunderbolt™ 2? Chevron Icon

A: Yes, solutions and products built to Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 specifications will work with Thunderbolt 3 via an adapter. The Apple Thunderbolt display was certified for Mac only and may not work properly when connected to Windows based PCs.

Q: Why did Thunderbolt™ 3 move to the USB-C connector? Chevron Icon

A: Thunderbolt 3 needed a new connector to achieve 40Gbps and fit into smaller form factor devices. With the USB-C connector allowing for alternate modes, it made sense to bring Thunderbolt to this connector and create a superset solution that supports both Thunderbolt and USB.

Q: What is the difference between Thunderbolt™ 3 and USB-C? Chevron Icon

A: Thunderbolt 3 is a superset solution which includes USB 3.1 (10Gbps), and adds 40Gbps Thunderbolt and DisplayPort 1.2 from a single USB-C port. This enables any dock, display, or data device to connect to a Thunderbolt 3 port, fulfilling the promise of the USB-C connector. See more information on the Thunderbolt Blog: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/blog/difference-between-usb-c-and-thunderbolt-3

Q: How is Thunderbolt™ 3 able to connect to every display? Chevron Icon

A: Thunderbolt 3 provides DisplayPort, which can natively connect to all displays with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort, and via adapters can connect to all other modern display interfaces, including HDMI, DVI, and VGA.

Q: What are the video formats supported by Thunderbolt™ 3? Chevron Icon

A: Thunderbolt 3 is based on the DisplayPort 1.2 specification and can support up to 2 streams (eight lanes) of DisplayPort 1.2 video bandwidth. A single cable now provides four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other cable, while also supplying up to 100W of power. One 4K display (4096 x 2160) 30-bit @ 120 Hz One 5K display (5120 x 2880) 30-bit @ 60 Hz Two 4K displays each (4096 x 2160) 30-bit @ 60 Hz.

Q: How can I become a Thunderbolt™ Developer? Chevron Icon

A: Submit your interest in developing Thunderbolt technology products here: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/developer-application

Q: Who do I contact for Press and Analyst Inquiries? Chevron Icon

A: For Press and Analyst inquiries, please contact: press@thunderbolttechnology.net.

Q: What Ethernet speed does this dock support? Chevron Icon

A: This dock supports the Gigabit Ethernet standard which provides a maximum data rate of 1Gbps. Actual Ethernet speeds may vary depending on, but not limited to, Internet bandwidth, Ethernet cables, network switches, and the hardware and firmware performance of the host computer.
