What it also means is that intel’s own hardware failed their own certification for the 11th gen, which is not particularly impressive.
Well, the ports don’t plug directly into intel hardware. There are other components along the path.

Since new gen products have recently been announced I think the company will focus on them primarily.
So can we consider Thunderbolt 4 certification for Gen 12 abandoned?
@anon81945988 ok, but have you seen BIOS updates for Gen 12 laptop? You can reread the initial blog post of this thread for better understanding.
@timp87 - if you are comfortable installing beta firmware: 12th Gen Intel Core BIOS 3.06 Beta

I have no insight but would presume that it eventually will come out of beta. I’m on the 11th gen rather than 12th, and have been on the latest beta firmware for it since November. Each individual must assess his or her own risk tolerance when choosing whether to install the beta firmware or wait for the official release.
@anon81945988 I do consider 3.06 as a certification. When it comes out of beta of course.
Until 3.06 I don’t consider 12th gen certified at all. And now I really doubt they will ever release 3.06.
Holy cow, this is AMAZING!! A laptop with 4 fully functional Thunderbolt 4 ports is what I want… finally no issues anymore when I want to use Power Delivery over USB together with 2 external displays - something that is pretty much impossible to do with almost any laptop in existence. THANK YOU FRAMEWORK!!
Now for the love of god, deliver to Switzerland already and take my money…
Are there any updates on this? It’s been 10 months

Oh, this will be excellent. I really want to make a mini Gaming™️ PC with enough horsepower for some flat screen gaming.
Not confident it can handle VR, though.
