Thunderbolt 5™ is a high-speed data transfer technology introduced by Intel, supporting a transmission rate of up to 80 Gbps (40 Gbps per channel) and being compatible with USB4. It can simultaneously transfer data, video and power, supporting dual 4K or single 8K display output, enabling ultra-fast external storage, efficient peripheral connection and device charging. It is an ideal choice for high-performance computing and creative workflows.
In June 2025, Yifeng's Type-C connector successfully passed the TBT5 test.
The devices that passed this test not only achieved a transmission rate of up to 80 Gbps, but also demonstrated outstanding performance in video output, power transmission, and peripheral expansion. Thunderbolt™ 5 is based on PCIe 5.0 and DisplayPort 2.1 technologies, significantly improving bandwidth efficiency, providing users with ultra-smooth 4K/8K video processing, low-latency gaming experiences, and fast charging capabilities. Industry experts pointed out that this certification will accelerate the comprehensive upgrade of the Type-C ecosystem and drive terminal products such as laptops, monitors, and storage devices towards higher performance and more unified interfaces. In the future, Type-C devices with TBT5 certification will become the core connection standard for high-performance computing and intelligent office.
