Isn’t thunderbolt open? What’s preventing me from getting thunderbolt 4 on AMD
Thunderbolt 3 is part of USB4. Thunderbolt 4 is separate and not supported by AMD processors yet, probably due to licensing issues. (Note that prior to USB4 this was why Thunderbolt 3 wasn't available on AMD.)
Thunderbolt 4 is USB4 with better performance. Nobody is stopping AMD (or anyone else) to implement the USB4 specs with TB4 speeds, they just cannot call it Thunderbolt.
Ah that’s what I’m misremembering. Thank you
Huh I actually thought it was proprietary…?
The ports are now interoperable with usb C, but I believe it’s kind of a TypeScript::JavaScript situation
