Does my CPU speed affect my Thunderbolt 3 speed on my PC

Does my CPU speed affect my Thunderbolt 3 speed on my server? If I have a slow server CPU, will that make the thunderbolt 3 on the server slow?

No. It's only the core clock that's slow.

How are you using thunderbolt? IP over Thunderbolt is limited to 10gbe, so your much better off just using a 10gbe nic.

I am using thunderbolt to transfer my film from my camera to my server, and then from my server to my PC. Does my server's CPU affect how quickly can thunderbolt transfer the video from my camera to server to PC?

what camera do you have?

 

Normally you won't want to use thunderbolt 3 to connect a nas, just use ethernet here. Thunderbolt would also be using IP, so it would work exactly the same as ethernet here, but more annoying and more expensive to use.
