It appears that this cable has 8 lanes of DP 1.2 connectivity. 4 DP 1.2 lanes is enough for a non-tiled 4K 60hz display. So TB3 can supply enough bandwidth for two of them. A 5K 60Hz display requires either DP1.3's higher bandwidth lan

The original iMac had more ports than the current Air (audio in/out, power, ethernet, modem, USBx2, and an expansion slot). One port that can do power, data, or video is pretty spiffy. Using that as an excuse to only have one port on t
