Unlike Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 can support two 4K displays and is rated as “compliant” for USB4 specification. Thunderbolt 4 also has double the PCIe SSD bandwidth speed (32 Gb/s) of Thunderbolt 3 (16 Gb/s). Is Thunderbolt the same as USB-C?

Thunderbolt controllers multiplex one or more individual data lanes from connected PCIe and DisplayPort devices for transmission via two duplex Thunderbolt lanes, then de-multiplex them for use by PCIe and DisplayPort devices on the other end. [2] A single Thunderbolt port supports up to six Thunderbolt devices via hubs or daisy chains; as many of these as the host has DP sources may be Thunderbolt monitors. [11] Need to charge a mobile device, or connect a peripheral to a PC or Mac? You'll probably need to use some flavor of USB port or a Thunderbolt port.Shamah, David. "Thunderbolt 3: How USB cooperation could lead to 100 million connected computers soon". ZDNet . Retrieved 26 August 2021. Thunderbolt combines PCI Express (PCIe) and DisplayPort (DP) into two serial signals, [9] [10] and additionally provides DC power, all in one cable. Up to six peripherals may be supported by one connector through various topologies. Thunderbolt 1 and 2 use the same connector as Mini DisplayPort (MDP), whereas Thunderbolt 3, 4, and 5 use the same USB-C connector as USB does.

A USB hard drive can't output a video signal; it simply uses USB-C for power and data transfer. An Apple iPad uses USB-C to recharge, sync with your Mac or PC, and drive an attached monitor.

In October 2021, Apple announced a 14-inch MacBook Pro [126] and a 16-inch MacBook Pro [127] which each featured three Thunderbolt 4 ports. In March 2022, Apple announced the Mac Studio [128] with up to six Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Intel Corporation (23 September 2020). "Intel JHL8440 Thunderbolt 4 Controller Product Specifications". intel.com. The Apple Pro Display XDR, which macOS allows to connect using two HBR3 connections to a Mac, doesn't support Display Stream Compression (DSC). That would be 51.84 Gbit/s, impossible for Thunderbolt 3, but it works because the two 3008×3384 10bpc 60Hz 648.91MHz signals of the XDR display only require 38.9 Gbit/s total and Thunderbolt does not transmit the DisplayPort stuffing symbols used to fill the HBR3 bandwidth. Apple stated in February 2011 that the port was based on Mini DisplayPort, not USB. As the system was described, Intel's solution to the display connection problem became clear: Thunderbolt controllers multiplex data from existing DP systems with data from the PCIe port into a single cable. Older displays that using DP 1.1a or earlier must be located at the end of a Thunderbolt device chain, but native displays can be anywhere along the line. [12] Thunderbolt devices can go anywhere on the chain. In that respect, Thunderbolt shares a relationship with the older ACCESS.bus system, which used the display connector to support a low-speed bus.
