Putting Thunderbolt into USB 4
So to make things simpler
Intel announced that it has contributed its work on Thunderbolt to the USB Promoter Group - the industry body that decides what the USB standard should mean.
That means Thunderbolt
will basically underpin USB 4.0, so all USB 4.0 devices and ports will be automatically compatible with Thunderbolt devices for super-fast data transfer as well as device charging and display across a single cable as now.
Device makers will be able to make Thunderbolt devices without paying royalties to Intel, which should make adoption easy.
Intel is also integrating Thunderbolt 3 into Intel CPUs now, beginning with Intel's latest
10th generation Core processors.
