Introducing Type-C Thunderbolt 5 Connectors
USB Type-C/ USB-C Thunderbolt 5 Introduction
Intel announced Thunderbolt 5 technology (or called TBT5) in Sep. 2023, and launched new control chip “Barlow Ridge”.
Soon after, the Thunderbolt 5 certification was granted to all Thunderbolt 4 certified connectors in Dec. 2023.
Therefore Argosy’s 4 part# was the world’s first batch of connectors upgraded from Thunderbolt 4 to Thunderbolt 5.
It is expected that several Thunderbolt 5 PCs and accessories will be launched in year 2024.
