Gigabyte rilascia Thunderbolt 5 Scheda aggiuntiva con PCIe 4.0 Interfaccia
Intel’s JHL9580 controller has a PCIe 4.0 interfaccia host x4, the same as ASMedia’s ASM4242 USB4 host controller and it’s a big step up from Intel’s previous Thunderbolt 4 controllers that were stuck with PCIe 3.0. Note that the JHL9580 is also offered in a Thunderbolt 4 version known as the JHL9540 which also uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and offers DP 2.1 sostenere, but slower speeds. Both of the new Barlow Ridge controllers also support USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps), something previous Thunderbolt controllers didn’t. Intel has a list price for the JHL9580 of US$19, which is just over US$8 more than the JHL8540 Maple Ridge controller which launched in 2020, come tale, expect Thunderbolt 5 add-in cards to come at an even higher price point than previous Thunderbolt 4 add-in cards. Gigabyte might be first out of the gate, but we expect most motherboard makers to follow suit with products of their own before the end of the year.
