Thunderbolt 3 embraces USB Type-C connector, doubles bandwidth to 40Gbps
I'm kinda disapointed about the whole Type-C scenario.<p>Now when you've got a Type-C Port, you just don't know what it can do. It could be anything from a USB 2 Port, up to a USB 3.1 + 20A Power + Thunderbolt Port.<p>You can't see this from looking at it, and Spec Sheets today have a problem of listing the version numbers of HDMI and DisplayPort Ports, I don't see them suddenly becoming very concise about this.<p>The promise of USB has always been one of standardization. If I knew my mothers notebook is from around somewhere after 2008, if it has a USB Port, it will be USB 2 compatible.<p>In 2020 i won't be able to know if the monitor i recommend my mother will be able to connect to her laptop over the USB Type-C Port or not, or if it will run at full resolution or not, if it will be able to charge the notebook over it, or not... etc.<p>Its just a mess. If you make a standard, please make it a standard, not a pick and choose affair where the result ist just confusion.
