1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,319
it is a great time for USBC not only is the iPhone finally getting it but

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:11,920
there's a fast new version of Thunderbolt namely Thunderbolt 5 that

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:16,320
uses the USBC connector it gives faster maximum data transfer than Thunderbolt 4

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:21,080
but it turns out Thunderbolt 4 isn't even the current top dog the Thunderbolt

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:26,480
5 is trying to beat instead that title belongs to USB 4v2 and confusingly

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,320
Thunderbolt might not look all that different than USB 4v2 which it's based

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,960
on at first glance in fact it has the same maximum data rate 80 gbits per

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,760
second in each direction or an asymmetric mode that gives you 120 gbits

9
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,559
one way and 40 the other so what exactly

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:49,840
is the point of Thunderbolt 5 then well one is to provide a higher performance

11
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:52,640
floor than what USB 4 V2 offers although

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:57,600
both Thunderbolt 5 and USB 4 V2 can optionally handle 240 watts of charging

13
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:02,559
there's no guarantee your ports can actually deliver anything close to that

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,400
your ports just ain't ready Thunderbolt 5 though requires at least one computer

15
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:12,840
port that can charge a PC needing up to 140 watts of power and 15 wats of power

16
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:18,240
for accessories as opposed to the standard USB 4 minimum of just 7 1/2

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Watts this means that Thunderbolt 5 can provide extra power to higher-end

18
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,280
laptops especially compared to Thunderbolt 4 which only mandated a

19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:30,680
minimum of 100 watts and the same is true in terms of data transfer rates

20
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:36,840
Thunderbolt 5 has to provide a Max data rate of at least 80 gbits per second one

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,320
way up from the 20 gig minimum of USB 4

22
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,240
but what does this mean in more practical terms for example if you're

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,479
connecting monitors storage or an external GPU we'll tell you right after

24
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:52,880
we thank the sponsor of this video MSI meet the radx axe 6600 gaming router

25
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:58,640
your ultimate gaming Ally it offers triband support with

26
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:02,159
eight streams delivering up to 6.6 GBS

27
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,039
per second of speed its AI qos system

28
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,800
optimizes bandwidth usage while a built-in processor automatically

29
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,720
prioritizes tasks for Peak Performance take your gaming to the next level with

30
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:16,920
ultra fast and reliable connections check it out down below now if we're

31
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:21,840
talking transferring data over the PCI Express 4.0 bus that Thunderbolt 5

32
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:26,760
supports you'll have 64 gbits per second of speed which is roughly equivalent to

33
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:31,280
four PCI Express 4.0 Lanes although external GPU enclosures haven't been in

34
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:36,040
Vogue for a while Intel is touting Thunderbolt 5 as a way to get better

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:40,360
performance if you are using an egpu as it doubles Thunderbolt 4's PCI Express

36
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,480
bandwidth while the performance still won't be the same as plugging a card

37
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:48,480
into a fulllength internal slot it should still be a noticeable improvement

38
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,040
over existing Solutions and although the equivalent of four lanes is a bit of a

39
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:57,239
bottleneck for a GPU it should offer great performance for external ssds

40
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,640
useful for video editors who need to work with large amounts of footage so

41
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:06,319
what about the those 80 and 120 GB numbers we previously discussed in

42
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:11,040
addition to matching General USB 4v2 data transfer speeds these higher data

43
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,760
rates are useful for monitors the upgraded speeds over Thunderbolt 4

44
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,879
enable a pair of Daisy change 6K monitors and that might sound like a

45
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,040
fairly weird resolution but it's relatively common in professional grade

46
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:29,840
displays for more standard or gaming type setup you can drive three 4K

47
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,159
displays at 144 Herz as well Thunderbolt

48
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,959
5 will switch into 120 GB mode automatically when a display needs the

49
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:40,040
extra bandwidth but Intel is still sorting out exactly what display modes

50
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:44,159
will trigger that switch at the time we wrote this video to achieve these higher

51
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:50,040
data rates Thunderbolt 5 uses what's called pam3 signaling we went over pam3

52
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,439
in more detail in this video but basically by sending signals at three

53
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:59,680
different voltage levels instead of two Thunderbolt 5 can effectively transmit 1

54
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:04,879
and 1/2 bits per cycle instead of just just one pretty cool but when should we

55
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,079
expect products supporting Thunderbolt 5 to hit the shelves and is it a musthave

56
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,959
piece of tech well the first devices should be coming out in 2024 but

57
00:04:12,079 --> 00:04:17,840
Thunderbolt 5 will likely Remain the province of enthusiasts who need the

58
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,440
higher bandwidth at least for now especially since you don't have to have

59
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,280
Thunderbolt 5 to take advantage of the latest version of USB power delivery if

60
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,800
you're just trying to do something like charge your laptop sadly we don't yet

61
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:36,240
live in a world where we're all using a displays on the regular but one

62
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,440
