Intel Z890 Motherboards To Feature Native Thunderbolt 4 Support, Arrow Lake Desktop CPUs With Up To 4 "Arc Xe-LPG" iGPU Cores
More details regarding the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPU platform and the Z890 motherboards have been revealed.wccftech.com
USB4 supports 40Gb / 20Gb connections and then drops down to the others, TB4 supports a whole range of USB generations. TB4 has several other advantages like native networking and raw PCIe device access etc but yes, I get it for a lot of people thats not important. However, moving to a native design rather than the current designs of an external controller should make things a lot more accessible, and standardise a lot of support but also may increase the price. I see it as a positive step and I wonder if that paves the way for TB5.I have thunderbolt 4 on my motherboard and feel usb4 maybe better as the speeds drops from 40Gbps to 10Gbps if you use a USB 4 device with it
And i think there going be a lot more USB 4 devices available later then thunderbolt 4 ones, (Plus thunderbolt 4 devices seem very pricey)
Yes, I think it’s better to have the capability of TB4 and not use it than not have it. Especially since it supports the USB standards anyway.USB4 supports 40Gb / 20Gb connections and then drops down to the others, TB4 supports a whole range of USB generations.

Why has Intel dropped hyperthreading then?
I don't think it has been confirmed they are. The one actual known to be real leak had some CPU features disabled in the BIOS including hyperthreading due to being a development system where some stuff wasn't working and/or not working right and not showing the actual true core count/features.
Very low chance of HT making it (like none)
Yeap, HT is gone. All leaks showed this for over a year.
I have a vague memory about some cpu vulnerabilities being related to it - something along the lines of HT being impossible to do securely.Why has Intel dropped hyperthreading then?
I did wonder at the time if that was maybe a reason !I have a vague memory about some cpu vulnerabilities being related to it - something along the lines of HT being impossible to do securely.
It looks like Arrow Lake maybe attempting to tame Intel's ludricious TDP's by reducing the clock rate considerably
Intel is abandoning high clock speeds on new CPUs, according to leak
The forthcoming Intel Core 9 Ultra 285K Arrow Lake processor will reportedly have a much lower clock frequency than the Core i9 14900K.www.pcgamesn.com
If that is the case it will be interesting to see what IPC uplift Intel has achieved with the new process node and if it can remain performance competitive with AMD's Zen 5 offerings.
