Intel's upcoming mobile PC processors, code-named \"<a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.intel.com\/news-releases\/intel-ces-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tiger Lake<\/a>,\" will be the first to integrate Thunderbolt 4.<\/p>\n<p>Intel also announced the Thunderbolt 4 controller 8000 series, compatible with the hundreds of millions of Thunderbolt 3 PCs and accessories already available. Thunderbolt 4 developer kits and certification testing are now available.<\/p>\n<p>\"Thunderbolt provides consumers with a leading connectivity standard across a range of devices, helping to advance computing experiences and delivering on the promise of USB-C with simplicity, performance and reliability. The arrival of Thunderbolt 4 underscores how Intel is advancing the PC ecosystem toward truly universal connectivity solutions.\"<br \/>\n\u2013Jason Ziller, Intel general manager of the Client Connectivity Division<\/p>\n<h2>Why It Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Thunderbolt products deliver a consistent set of capabilities for connecting computers to data, video and power with the simplicity of just one USB Type-C port. Connect to powerful Thunderbolt docks, displays, fast storage or any USB accessory for a clutter-free workspace. To ensure a consistent best-in-class<sup>1<\/sup> experience and ease of use across a wide range of product types and manufacturers, Intel works closely with its ecosystem of computer, accessory and cable partners to employ mandatory certification for all Thunderbolt products.<\/p>\n<h2>What It Delivers<\/h2>\n<p>Thunderbolt 4 builds on Thunderbolt 3 for a truly universal cable connectivity experience. Thunderbolt 4 always delivers 40 Gbps speeds and data, video and power over a single connection. It is the most comprehensive Thunderbolt specification yet with compliance across the broadest set of industry-standard specifications \u2013 including USB4, DisplayPort and PCI Express (PCIe) \u2013 and is fully compatible with prior generations of Thunderbolt and USB products. Thunderbolt 4 certification requirements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Double the minimum video and data requirements of Thunderbolt 3.<\/li>\n<li>Video: Support for two 4K displays or one 8K display.<\/li>\n<li>Data: PCIe at 32 Gbps for storage speeds up to 3,000 MBps.<\/li>\n<li>Support for docks with up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports.<\/li>\n<li>PC charging on at least one computer port<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>Wake your computer from sleep by touching the keyboard or mouse when connected to a Thunderbolt dock.<\/li>\n<li>Required Intel VT-d-based direct memory access (DMA) protection that helps prevent physical DMA attacks.
