The latest generation of Intel's high-speed connectivity standard, offering 80 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth, with a boost mode up to 120 Gbps, and support for up to 240W charging.
Bandwidth Boost: An intelligent feature that dynamically increases video bandwidth up to 120 Gbps for demanding tasks, such as driving multiple high-resolution displays, while maintaining 40 Gbps for receiving data.
PAM3 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation 3-level): The signal encoding technology used by Thunderbolt 5. It is more efficient than the previous NRZ encoding, allowing for higher data speeds over the same physical hardware.
PCIe 4.0 (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express 4.0): The PCI Express generation supported by Thunderbolt 5. This doubles the data bandwidth for external devices, such as storage and external graphics cards, compared to the PCIe 3.0 used in Thunderbolt 4.
