Read MoreApple’s latest M3 Pro chip in the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro has 25% less memory bandwidth than the M1 Pro and M2 Pro chips used in equivalent models from the two previous generations. Based on the latest 3-nanometer technology and featuring all-new GPU architecture, the M3 series of chips is said to represent […]
Read MoreThunderbolt 5 is official and it’s a leap forward in terms of speed. It brings the bandwidth from 40 Gbps all the way up to 120 Gbps, has double the PCIe lanes, and can deliver as much as 240W of power through one USB-C cable. Technically, in a standard configuration, Thunderbolt 5 will provide 80 […]
Read MoreIntel today announced Thunderbolt 5, the next-generation version of the connectivity standard present on all Macs and iPad Pro models, promising significant improvements in connectivity speed and bandwidth. Thunderbolt 5 delivers 80 Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth and, with Bandwidth Boost, can provide up to 120 Gbps for video-intensive usage. This enables considerably better display support, […]
Read MoreOn Windows 11, the system can automatically control and optimize the bandwidth for downloads and uploads of updates, Microsoft Store apps, and other products to ensure they don’t affect your online experience.
