....Right, the question is "why wouldn't they just use the tech available at the time rather than this monstrosity."

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Because the tech didn’t have the bandwidth capability, hence the doubling up…

As addressed already higher up the thread!

Since when is usb 3.2 good for 40gb/s, and what is the voltage and cable length restrictions?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Right. The question is "why wouldn't they use thunderbolt?" Stop being obtuse.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Voltage limitations…

I’m sorry, you’re calling me obtuse because you don’t know usb standards? That’s funny.

There’s obviously a Reason, and as explained, bandwidth or power limitations. All previous revisions, weren’t right.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

...right so why didn't they design their original embedded architecture to support the better technology?

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Because it wasn’t out yet? But they knew it was coming, so they made a stopgap. They knew they would eventually need a form of USB-c, so thunderbolt is right out.

It’s a devkit, it’s for technology that is out for when it comes out, maybe a decade later. They know what’s coming out ahead though, stuff is announced YEARS to decades ahead.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you not know what thunderbolt is?

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Of course I do, clearly you don’t… it is its own proprietary port, you need an adapter for usb-c. So you’re suggesting that they need to package adapters for it to work? Thats the whole point of usb-c, to get rid of them.

Also, as explained previously… not enough voltage, there is multiple limitations on that cable already as well….

You’ve shown to have zero knowledge here, why do you continue to insult and pester me because I’m trying to be civil and explain this to you?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thunderbolt is a protocol family carried over USB-C since version 3. Since 2015.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The cables are compatible, but… that’s not how it works. Where did you get that information from?

A Thunderbolt 3 cable can transfer up to 40 Gbps, twice the maximum of USB-C. However, these speeds are only possible when using a Thunderbolt cable with a Thunderbolt port, not a USB-C port. This is because Thunderbolt 3 uses two lanes of PCIe 3.0 for data transfer, while USB-C uses one lane of PCIe 3.0 or two lanes of PCIe 2.0.

Enjoy your weekend walls are a more enjoyable conversation partner, maybe research stuff before spewing bullshit?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, USB-C is the physical port standard over which thunderbolt is carried.
