Intel once again injects new vitality into the field of wired connections with disruptive innovation. The advent of Thunderbolt 5 has pushed the connection experience between computers and displays, docking stations, storage devices, etc. to a new level, consolidating Intel's leadership in this field. As an upgrade of the mainstream connection port for mobile PCs, Thunderbolt 5 meets the extreme needs of the most demanding user groups with breakthrough performance.

　　In terms of performance, Thunderbolt 5 is the industry leader. It has an amazing bandwidth of 80Gbps in both directions, and with bandwidth enhancement technology, it can soar to 120Gbps, bringing users a top-level display experience. Compared with existing connection solutions on the market, Thunderbolt 5 has a bandwidth of up to three times that of existing connection solutions on the market. Whether it is smooth transmission of huge video data or low-latency visual presentation, it can easily handle it, making it an ideal choice for content creators and gamers. It is worth mentioning that Thunderbolt 5 is built on industry standards such as USB4 V2, and is highly compatible with previous Thunderbolt and USB versions, eliminating the worries of user device adaptation.

　　Thunderbolt 5 builds upon Thunderbolt 4 in several ways, including:

　　> Two times the total bi-directional bandwidth; Bandwidth Boost provides up to three times the throughput for video-intensive usage, up to 120 Gbps.

　　> Double the PCI Express data throughput for faster storage and external graphics.

　　> Built on industry standards including USB4 V2, DisplayPort 2.1 and PCI Express Gen 4; fully compatible with previous versions.

　　> Double the bandwidth of Thunderbolt Networking for high-speed PC-to-PC connections.

　　> Utilizes a new signaling technology, PAM-3, to deliver these significant increases in performance with today’s printed circuit boards, connectors and passive cables up to 1 meter.

　　With the booming development of digital content creation and the gaming industry, the demand for bandwidth from content creators, gamers and professionals has exploded. They have to deal with increasingly large video and data files, and pursue high-resolution display and low-latency visual effects. The emergence of Thunderbolt 5 is timely. With greatly improved connection speed and bandwidth, it provides modern PC users with high-quality visual and immersive experience guarantees for the next few years, allowing users to enjoy smooth and smooth creation, entertainment and work.

　　At the market level, the Thunderbolt series has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become the standard in the PC market. The world's leading PC accessory suppliers have adopted this standard, covering hundreds of millions of active PC users. Thunderbolt 5 continues the concept of "one USB-C port, one cable for all functions" on a large user base, simplifying the PC usage process for users around the world while adhering to the highest quality and performance standards.

　　The launch of Thunderbolt 5 is another important milestone for Intel in I/O innovation. Intel works with PC, accessories and cable partners to create the most cutting-edge and complete wired connection solutions through professional empowerment and testing projects. All Thunderbolt products must pass rigorous certification tests, and qualified products can use the Thunderbolt brand royalty-free. This strict standard also makes Thunderbolt a globally recognized synonym for the best wired connection solution for PCs and accessories.
