Thunderbolt 2 just started showing up in devices late last year, but a new slide leaked by VR-Zone is giving us our first glimpse at what the next version is going to look like.

Intel has announced at Computex 2015 that Thunderbolt 3 will be adopting the USB Type C connector, in what the company is calling "the USB-C that does it all".

In fact, Thunderbolt 3 will support data rates of up to 40 Gbps, a doubling of Thunderbolt 2’s 20 Gbps. That’s much higher than USB 3.0’s 5Gbps and USB 3.1’s 10 Gbps.

Intel states that Thunderbolt 3 products will begin to hit the market before the end of the year, with wider availability slated for 2016. Now that it supports USB 3.1, PCIe 3.0 x4, and ...

Thunderbolt was believed by many to be likely to put a dent in the adoption of the slower USB 3.0, but that has not happened, with most PCs still shipping with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports.

Intel has unveiled the next generation of Thunderbolt technology, enabling data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps. That means Thunderbolt 3 is twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2.. It also uses the same ...

The Thunderbolt 3 Express Dock HD retains much of the the same connectivity as previous generations, providing 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports with the USB-C connector, 3 USB 3.0 type A ports with 1.5A of ...

Intel has announced that it’s developing the super-fast Thunderbolt 3 with the latest USB-C connector. Abandoning its proprietary connector, the new reversible cable reportedly manages speeds of ...

In addition to the new connector, Thunderbolt 3 now also supports USB 3.1 (i.e. Gen 2, up to 10Gbps), and the Thunderbolt transport layer sees its max bandwidth doubled from 20Gbps to 40Gbps ...

Intel’s decision to use USB-C as the connector for its next implementation of Thunderbolt is laudable in terms of unifying the ports required on a computer, but may cause confusion in the near term.

Because Thunderbolt 3 is compliant with the USB-C standard and USB 3.1 specification, the cabling will also simultaneously support DisplayPort 1.2, third-generation PCI Express, and power supply ...
