Thunderbolt&#8217;s future on Mac was in question as Apple is in the beginning stages of transitioning away from Intel&#8217;s x86 architecture in favor of its own ARM designs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<p>&#8220;Over a decade ago, Apple partnered with Intel to design and develop Thunderbolt, and today our customers enjoy the speed and flexibility it brings to every Mac,&#8221; the company said. &#8220;We remain committed to the future of Thunderbolt and will support it in Macs with Apple silicon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<p>Apple&#8217;s promise to continue support for the specification arrives hours after Intel detailed the forthcoming&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/20\/07\/08\/intel-details-thunderbolt-4-spec-but-apple-silicon-support-is-unclear\">Thunderbolt 4 standard<\/a>&nbsp;in a press release. While the updated protocol retains the 40Gb\/s data throughput spec from Thunderbolt 3, more stringent minimum system requirements will deliver a more robust user experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<p>For example, Thunderbolt 4 offers support for two 4K displays or one 8K display, double the capability of Thunderbolt 3. PC data requirements include 32Gbps speeds for PCIe and 10Gbps for USB 3.2, USB-4 compatibility, and charging from at least one PC port. Also new is the adoption of Intel VT-d based direct memory access (DMA) protection, a feature that should improve reliability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<p>Apple announced the coming shift away from Intel processors at WWDC in June, noting the transition is expected to take about two years to complete.
