    Will there be a list of DDR4 only board as well?

    Yes, we're also putting together a guide for DDR4 boards.

    Any news on the DDR4 story? Would be nice to know what model is the best for performance/features in the eyes of others.

    Intel's actually released a compelling new chipset? I'm surprised to see DDR5 and PCIe 5 support, but USB 4 seems to be notably absent, despite there being no reason at all to omit it. Intel is finally one-upping AMD after a few years of playing #2.

    Thunderbolt4 is usb4 capable…

    Yep, the only thing USB4 adds over "USB 3.2 2x2" is Thunderbolt support. Therefore any Thunderbolt 4 device is automatically USB4. In fact, essentially any board with "Thunderbolt 3" along with USB 3.2 2x2 basically get "USB4" status for free.

    USB 3.2 2x2 is 20 Gbps. USB 4 is 40 Gbps.

    That's why they mentioned TB3. 40Gbps support is also optional for USB4.
  • 12345 - Wednesday, November 10, 2021 - link

    DP 2.0 is mandatory for USB4 so TB3 support isn't good enough.

    That is only the name. The question is, with what speed you can run USB devices.
