Referring to USB-C connections as "alternate mode" makes me wonder if Thunderbolt 3 will be inferior, signal-wise, to whatever physical port is being considered

Referring to USB-C connections as "alternate mode" makes me wonder if Thunderbolt 3 will be inferior, signal-wise, to whatever physical port is being considered (was designed?) for DisplayPort 2.
- zamadatix 7y agoAlt mode is a term used by USB to describe a USB port than can carry non USB signals (i.e. the alternate operating modes beyond USB). It's been around a while and has nothing to do with this announcement.

- xenadu02 7y agoIt appears if you use USB-C only for display data you get full resolutions. If you take some of the pairs to also run USB data over the same cable it only supports the lower resolutions (no 16k or 10k).
- ihuman 7y agoAccording to the article DP 2 will use the existing DisplayPort port in addition to USB-C.
