minus-squarekroldenlink4•1 year agoStill dont know why they didn’t go with amd. Thunderboltisn’tt really necessary since most of the modules are areUSBC. Also Intel ME, ew.
minus-square@jokeyrhymelink2•1 year agoThunderbolt 4 is not exclusive to Intel, only 1-3 I’ve just ordered parts for a new AMD system with Thunderbolt 4 (transferring some parts from an older machine): https://pcpartpicker.com/user/jokeyrhyme/saved/dLCRVn
minus-squarekroldenlink1•1 year agoNo, usb4 has the thunderbolt3 spec inside it, which amd now supports. Thunderbolt 4 is Intel only.
minus-square@jokeyrhymelink2•1 year agoIt’s mostly a certification thing (which is performed by Intel): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)#Royalty_situation According to that, anyone can make the standalone chips now regardless of CPU (although most of them are still made by Intel, I think)
