Yeah, a perfect example are all the people in this thread recommending Thunderbolt devices while a bunch of us sit here and type away on our Ryzen or Threadripper powered machines.
USB-C has been such a massive disappointment.
- mey 5y agoASUS has Thunderbolt 4 motherboards for Ryzen. https://www.asus.com/ProArt/Motherboards-Home/ https://www.asus.com/ProArt/Motherboards-Home/
- icelancer 5y agoUnfortunately I've never really needed USB-C for my desktops/servers - primarily my laptops.
- microtonal 5y agoI have a laptop that is powerful as a Ryzen 5x00, which is quiet and uses very little power. I can take it with me in my backpack and hook it up to my three workspaces by plugging one Thunderbolt over USB-C cable. (I use a Startech Thunderbolt Dock, which hasn't had any issues, except the dislikable Realtek NIC.) I don't want to go back to the workstation tower life. Unfortunately, I still have to keep around a Ryzen machine for CUDA. But it is loud (even with Noctua fans), eats large amounts of power, and is completely non-portable.
- stonecharioteer 5y agoWhat do you mean Thunderbolt over USB-C. You can find converters? Link me please Senpai.
- mschuster91 5y agoThe real disappointment is Intel who have kept an iron grip on Thunderbolt for way over a decade and prevented everyone from distributing Thunderbolt without an Intel CPU for no technical reason at all.
