Type c query about my laptop

[Sukrit Kumar]

I had recently enough bought a laptop from honor magicbook 15 it has a type c port in device manager it shows 3.1 and I when I see the no. of conductor in to port there are 12 contact point in total So what does that mean?

can it still do 10 gig or the extra conductor are mainly for thunderbolt?

It doesn't do either 10-gig or Thunderbolt.

device manager says 3.1 with 12 conductors present why can't it?

USB 3.1 Gen 1 is 5Gbps, USB 3.1 Gen 2 is 10Gbps. The laptop seems to have a USB 3.1 Gen 1 - port, not Gen 2.

Because the chipset doesn't support higher. The number of conductors only means that the connector itself, electrically, has enough conductors, nothing more. It does not mean the rest of the hardware can do it.

Most probably a normal 5Gbit USB 3.0 aka USB 3.1 Gen 1 aka USB 3.2 Gen 1 aka SuperSpeed USB port.
