Firewire 3. Thunderbolt 2 4. USB-C 7. The new wave of Thunderbolt 3 Docks from Belkin brings fast data transfer, ultra-high definition monitor support and all the features you want from your ideal workstation. A unit of data transfer rate measuring bandwidth speed by the billions of bits transferred per second. A port designed for use with an industry standard connector to communicate data and supply electric power between devices.
USB 3. Gen 2 successfully doubled the transfer speed rate of Gen 1 USB 3. A new type of USB connector, hailed as the new standard. A miniaturized version of the DisplayPort interface, Apple developed audio-visual digital interface Mini DisplayPort in Thunderbolt is a technology designed to move large amounts of data quickly and safely between two compatible devices, such as a laptop and a monitor to provide high-definition visuals to the monitor , or a camera and a laptop to download large photo files from the camera.
With a maximum speed of 40Gbps, it's the fastest port on the market today; even on par with the upgraded Thunderbolt 4 port. You'll find some of the best laptops and 2-in-1 laptops with Thunderbolt 3 ports for good reason, along with PC peripherals and docking stations.
If high-speed connectivity matters to you, you'll want your next system to support this powerful standard. While Thunderbolt 4 may be the future of connectivity, there are still plenty of reasons for Thunderbolt 3 ports to stick around. Thunderbolt 3 is capable of transmitting at a rate of 40Gbps, which is a lot quicker than USB 3. It's also double the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2 20 Gbps. With that kind of throughput, you can attach a graphics amplifier or eGPU like the Razer Core and turn your lightweight laptop into a bona-fide gaming rig.
The system can contact the GPU at the same speed as if it were attached directly to the motherboard. You can copy files to a speedy external SSD that's faster than most internal drives. The same benefits apply when you're recording directly from a professional-grade 4K video camera. Thunderbolt 3 can transmit video via the DisplayPort DP 1. While a single DP 1. Manufacturers have embraced Thunderbolt because of its features - mostly the fast data transfer for storing large files. The fact it uses the now-common USB-C connector is a welcome bonus.
You can use it to connect your Mac or PC to displays, transfer data quickly between computers and hard drives, daisy chain external devices, and power up - all with just one physical connection. While smartphones and tablets may use the connector, it doesn't necessarily mean those top speeds and features are available. Originally the Thunderbolt platform was only available on devices with Intel processors, but that's since change as Intel shared the technology as part of USB4.
That's why Apple's M1 Mac products, which don't use Intel processors, support Thunderbolt, for example. Yes, it was inevitable, Thunderbolt 4 succeeded Thunderbolt 3. However, it doesn't offer faster speeds - it's still 40Gbps maximum - and the USB Type-C connector port is still the same.
First, and perhaps most important, is increased video data support. Thunderbolt 4 can support a single monitor to 8K resolution, or two 4K monitors - doubling the capability of Thunderbolt 3. Third, PCIe data speeds have doubled to 32Gbps. This is handy if you connect, say, an external graphics card to your PC,. Because USB4 has various layers: there's a 20Gbps version, for example, despite it being capable of 40Gbps. Thunderbolt 4 ensures that top speed happens. USB4 also doesn't guarantee the ability to run dual 4K monitors, while there's no mandatory wake-from-sleep requirement - all of which you get with Thunderbolt 4.
