Intel beats everyone again: Thunderbolt 5 offers three times faster data transfer speeds than Thunderbolt 4
The Videocardz resource published documents from Intel’s presentation on the Thunderbolt 5 interface. The source says that Intel presented this interface, but in fact there is no official press release yet.
Be that as it may, now we know everything about the new generation of Thunderbolt. And this is a very important update. If Thunderbolt 4 relative to Thunderbolt 3 did not bring any increase in data transfer speed, then Thunderbolt 5 is three times faster than Thunderbolt 4! Yes, the data transfer speed here is 120 Gbit/s. As before, this is a maximum and depending on the number of lines used, speeds may be lower. But the lower limit is 80 Gbps, which is still twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4.
The new standard is compatible with DisplayPort 2.1, USB v4, USB 3 20G and PCIe Gen4, provides support for up to three 4K monitors at up to 144 Hz and is capable of transmitting up to 240 W of power, which is enough not only for ultrabooks.
It is expected that mobile PCs based on Intel Meteor Lake processors will be the first to receive Thunderbolt 5 support.

It’s official: Windows 11’s next big update is arriving. With Copilot chatbot, RAR support and more
Microsoft has announced the release date for the next major feature update to the Windows 11 operating system. The version is labeled 23H2 and will become available on September 26, 2023.
The update will include a new AI-powered Windows Copilot feature, a redesigned Explorer, a new Ink Anywhere feature for stylus users, significant improvements to the Paint graphics editor, native support for RAR and 7-zip files, a new volume mixer, and more.
Windows Copilot is a major new feature in Windows 11 23H2 that brings the Bing Chat chatbot directly to the Windows 11 desktop. The new Copilot appears as a sidebar, making it easy to manage settings on your PC, launch apps, or simply get answers to questions. Copilot is also integrated throughout the operating system, with Microsoft executives demonstrating the use of Copilot to write text messages using data from your calendar, Outlook, and more.
Ink Anywhere lets you handwrite with a Surface Pen or other stylus in any text field, anywhere on Windows. The OS converts what the user writes into text. There will also be built-in RGB lighting controls for gaming devices such as keyboards, mice, monitors, case fans, and so on.
The improved Windows Backup app will allow you to back up data to your PC when you want to move to a new device. Existing settings will automatically be transferred to the new PC, even pinned applications in the Start menu and taskbar, all applications from the Microsoft Store will be automatically restored.
The YouTube video platform team has introduced a new application called YouTube Create, which allows you to edit videos directly on your phone.
The new app aims to encourage more people to create YouTube Shorts, a TikTok-style video offered by YouTube. It’s generally easier to make a TikTok video than a full YouTube video. The creation of a separate app also follows TikTok’s strategy of releasing a separate (and popular) app called CapCut, which helps create videos for TikTok and other platforms.
The app offers tools such as precision editing and trimming, automatic subtitles, voiceover capabilities, and access to a library of filters, effects, transitions, and royalty-free music.
The YouTube Create app will soon be available as a free beta download for Android in countries including the US, Germany, France, UK, Indonesia, India, Korea and Singapore. An iOS version is planned for release next year.
