Intel did announce in 2017 they planned to release thunderbolt royalty free in the future; however, they still have not released it as of yet. And given their new competition from AMD - I doubt they plan to now anytime soon
- sgarman 7y agoIt seems like it's not so binary and it's more like kinda royalty free: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/03/thunderbolt-3-becomes-usb4-as-intels-interconnect-goes-royalty-free/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/03/thunderbolt-3-become... They gave it away to usb form but maybe they won't for anything AMD wants to do?
- jrockway 7y agoIt's called "USB 4" now. And yeah, a few years away at best.
- ksec 7y agoUSB4 Final Spec 1.0 should be ready anytime soon. It was originally scheduled for mid 2019, but you can defiantly expect the draft before year end and product ready by next year.
