  That's USB4 v2.0, not USB4. It's not the same thing.

      Oh, let me introduce you to our lord and savior Microsoft!

      Windows 1, Windows 2, Windows 3, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

      And then we have the magic that is Xbox:

        Windows 9 Woah, that’s sounding a bit too logical, there.

        Even better is that the Windows 11 version number isn’t 11, it’s 10.0.22000.

        God I hate the entire industry of marketing and sales and this is one of the reasons why.

        Even worse is when Apple decides to just name everything the same thing and get rid of numbers entirely.

        You’re also missing 8.1 if we’re going by Microsoft’s wish of calling a service pack a whole new version of Windows.

  Looking at Wikipedia, it seems like USB 4 has a 120Gbps asymmetric mode as well. That’s wild!

  Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

  • notepass@feddit.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yes. The full USB-4 spec has that.

    That being said: thunderbolt is still great for verification. If it says thunderbolt you exactly know what it can do and that it should work as expected. USB-4 will be plastered on anything that can do only plain usb4 speeds.

    Yep. It’s also fully compatible with all Thunderbolt 4 functionality. arstechnica.com/…/breaking-down-how-usb4-goes-whe…
