Intel seems to be working on the next generation of Thunderbolt technology.
The possibility of being nicknamed as Thunderbolt 5, the hardware interface protocol is expected to offer twice as much as the current generation.
Anandtech has reported that EVP and GM from the Computing group of Intel clients, Gregory Bryant accidentally tweeted images – now removed – from his visit to the Intel R & D Laboratory in Israel on Sunday, revealing details about the next generation hardware interface protocol Thunderbolt 5.
According to the report, photos of Tweet read 80G Phy Technology which shows that Thunderbolt 5 will support bandwidth up to 80 Gbps.
Which doubts lightning 4 which currently offers.
Tweeted images also contain posters with some details mentioned about new technology.
The first line of reading, USB 80G is targeted to support existing USB-C ecosystems “.
This means that the extra bandwidth will be sent through the same USB type USB interface.
It comes very relieved because type-C is the most common port found on the device.
Also, it will be much easier for producers to adapt to this new technology.
Posters also reveal a very important fact about Thunderbolt 5 technology that is rumored is that the next generation interface will use PAM-3 modulation technology.
PAM 3 stands for modulation of pulse amplitude And this will enable higher bandwidth than existing technology.
While higher Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth will allow some new features and other improvements such as support for a higher level of refresh to 4K and 8K monitors, faster data transfer, support for support external graphics card and more.
It is important to understand that Thun Derbolt 4 is still one year old and is still in the adoption phase by the company.
And while Thunderbolt 4 comes with several additional benefits over Thunderbolt 3, it does not offer profits in bandwidth.
It offers the same bandwidth as the last generation.
So, Thunderbolt 5 clearly has advantages over the older generation.
