Currently, USB is still the standard for transferring cable-based data, in this latest generation, version 4.0, there is a significant increase compared to the previous version. USB is currently a consortium of several companies consisting of Microsoft, Intel, Apple, HP, and several other technology companies.

Moreover, the maximum speed difference on USB 4.0 reaches 80 Gbps, and if we compare this, it is faster than the speed of Thunderbolt 3 which has a maximum speed of 40 Gbps in Thunderbolt 3.

Advantages of USB 4.0

1. Super Fast Data Transfer Speed

The maximum speed ​​is 80 Gbps with a two-way cable configuration. Data is transmitted in two sets of four bidirectional lines.

2. Thunderbolt Compatible

USB 4.0 is compatible with Thunderbolt devices, version 3 to be exact.

3. Supports DisplayPort 2.0

USB 4.0 through its alternative mode supports DisplayPort 2.0 with 8K resolution at 60 Hz with HDR10 color.

DisplayPort 2.0 can be used at up to 80 Gbps, which is double the amount available for USB data, as it sends all data in one direction (to the monitor) and thus can use all eight data lines at once.

4. Better than PCIe

From the allocation of resources, USB 4.0 is better than Video PCIe. Instead of an alternative mode where another interface takes over the connection, USB 4 devices can use a process called Protocol T tunneling which sends DisplayPort, PCIe, and USB packets simultaneously while allocating bandwidth accordingly.

Intel is also currently working on Thunderbolt 5, which according to the leak will also offer 80 Gbps speeds with a similar physical layer (PHY) connection. Maybe Intel is waiting for USB4 Version 2.0 to be finalized before announcing Thunderbolt 5, so the two can be fully compatible.
