6: Thunderbolt
: Enhanced support for external GPUs (eGPUs) and ultra-fast NVMe storage. Power Delivery
Thunderbolt 6 will be the next generation of the Intel -led connectivity standard. It will likely leverage the USB4 Version 2.0 specification as its foundation, offering a "one-cable-does-all" solution for data, video, and power. Expected Key Features thunderbolt 6
: Thunderbolt 5 introduced PAM-3 signaling to achieve its high speeds. Thunderbolt 6 may require even more advanced modulation or even a shift toward optical interconnects if copper cabling hits physical noise and voltage limits. : Enhanced support for external GPUs (eGPUs) and
I can refine this draft further if you have specific details in mind. offering a "one-cable-does-all" solution for data
