USB-C speed

I don’t think I’ve seen any confirmation yet of what Gen the USB-C expansions cards/ports are and what speed we should get. Am I mistaken? I would have thought by now that information should be available.

USB4, USB3.2 and DP 1.4 alt mode supporting HBR3.

@Kieran_Levin Thanks, Kieran. So that’s a maximum of 40 Gbps?

Precisely. I saw some reviews that complained about the lack of GPU expansion, but it seems that with Thunderbolt 4 on board this is totally possible in the form of a eGPU.

Love how the people reviewing this stuff really don’t know about the stuff they are reviewing most of the time.

@njf yes 40 Gbps. (I need to add some text here)

@Kieran_Levin so how many of the ports are USB 4.0, how many 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.0, support DisplayPort, etc.?

All four ports have the same capabilities, with USB4 and DP Alt Mode.
