What Is Thunderbolt 4? Tiger Lake Tech Isn't Faster, Thunderbolt 3 With a New Name
UPDATE: Intel confirmed it referenced USB 3.1 in the presentation, meaning Thunderbolt 4 is in fact not faster than Thunderbolt 3. We updated the text accordingly.
Intel's press conference at CES 2020 last night was underwhelming given its lack of hardware announcements, but the company did partially pull the covers off of its new Tiger Lake processors and included vague slides that touted a "new" integrated Thunderbolt 4 connection. Given this is the first mention of the new interface, it has generated quite a bit of interest.
However, we followed up with a well-placed industry source who claims Thunderbolt 4 isn't new at all: It is largely an Intel re-branding campaign that signifies both the USB 4 and Thunderbolt 3 connections have been fully certified by Intel. That means this connection is not faster than the existing interface.
We followed up with Intel, which initially provided this response:
"Thunderbolt 4 continues Intel leadership in providing exceptional performance, ease of use and quality for USB-C connector-based products. It standardizes PC platform requirements and adds the latest Thunderbolt innovations. Thunderbolt 4 is based on open standards and is backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 3. We will have more details to share about Thunderbolt 4 at a later date."
Winning hearts and minds at CES 2020.

How can usb become more integrated? It is a connector to external devices.
Then, as an archivist, I thought hm. If intel has a big backdoor and the ime can run this whole other system, and you can put wifi on a chip, and image a room through passive emf radar tricks, then this 'intergration' could make it so that any device attached can be rerouted/mirrored to the ime, and sent back to the overlords.
Simply having a processor would make privacy impossible.
They might be able to scan entire disks or chips with their new rapescan bullshit from the zionists who so very very much want to protect us. roflmao.
Is your company affiliated with israel in any way? (intel == yes, very much so, and they are obviously trying to hide it)
Yes? Then I will treat your technology as a nuisance at best, but generally as an attempt to attack me.
This is, of course, only based on every news article I have ever read about israeli technology.
And epstein.
I think I drew a picture for the slow class, its on my antizionism page with a whole lot more.
https://archive.is/SiNIS [archive.is] link in meme to much more but if you do not like this meme, you will surely not like that page. (but people keep visiting it....)
If I am in error then plz let me know, of if there is anything I should add let me know too. Or heck, draw your own, warn me of the conspiracy I am not seeing.
But to talk about intel and processors without this knowledge is futile, unless you are not concerend with trivilaities like freedom and independence and liberty and stuff.
There is no way to be interested in ethicial tech or truth(the two go hand in hand btw...) without upsetting the people(on their yachts and in their bunkers) trying to rule your mind.
It is just not possible.
