Go to solution Solved by Sorenson,

They allow companies to license it for free to encourage adoption. Thunderbolt 3 is becoming usb 4 apparently.

Intel finally made it more open a little while back.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

A couple X570 boards have it, including the Asrock Phantom Gaming X570 ITX.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

properly because the whole USB naming has been confusing, since USB3 or 3.1 actually does not mean anything, you never really know what you are getting of bandwidth before you really examine the data sheet. 

 

same with NVME and other things, i should know better but bought a NVME drive for my 4790k server which has a board with NVME, had to buy a PCI-E card to get full bandwidth because the onboard NVME connecter only supported 10gbit, YES it is written, but still not logical that you can buy something that supports a connector but only runs 1/4th of the speed.

 

i know this is the way of running standard connecters, and it is a really nice thing to have a STANDARD USB connecter, that is so backwards compatible as it actually is..

 

Should just have run everything on CAT RJ45... power, displays, sound, data.... it is such a simple standard. and so widespread.

I was really interested in this video because of the TB3 solution Linus found. A shame we couldn't see it. I hope it makes it into a future video.

 

I'm curious why linus didn't simply use his existing optical TB2 cable with a TB2<->TB3 adapter instead.

ASRock is reeeeally into putting Intel components on their AMD boards, and i don't blame them, its great, mine has an Intel 1 gigabit NIC (that is redundant, since it has an Aquantia 5 gigabit NIC as well), Intel Wireless ethernet and bluetooth on board.

TB2 = 20GBPS

TB3= 40GBPS

Maybe as simple as that?

He didn't say he changed his dock, did he? If he did I wonder how the extra 20gbps would manifest in a tb3 dock
