What is Thunderbolt 5 Bandwidth Boost

Thunderbolt 5 "Bandwidth Boost" temporarily pushes your data transfer speed to 120Gbps, up from the standard 80Gbps bi-directional rate. This comes in handy when you’re juggling multiple high-res displays or working with heavy video editing projects.

To put it in overly simplified terms that no one asked for, it’s like giving an already energetic kid a few shots of espresso, dropping them off at the playground, and telling him to go nuts.

Thunderbolt 5 Bandwidth Boost, The Key Points

Increased video bandwidth:

It cranks up the bandwidth specifically for video data, which keeps your multiple high-res displays and high refresh rates running buttery smooth.

Dynamic allocation:

It’s smart enough to know when it’s time to show off (so, maybe not like an overly caffeinated kid on the playground). When things get demanding, it boosts the bandwidth. When you’re done stressing it out, it relaxes back to 80Gbps.

Improved user experience:

Content creators, gamers, and folks dealing with high-res visuals will appreciate this feature, as it ensures their work runs without the usual hiccups.
