Thanks to ORIGIN PC for sponsoring this video! Check out the VOYAGER – ORIGIN Edition at 🤍bit.ly/3PNcvfr USB has never been easy to understand, and USB4 is no exception. How compatible is it with Thunderbolt 3? What about Thunderbolt 4? What cables can and can’t be used? Is a USB4 cable interchangeable with a Thunderbolt 4 cable?

Intel were getting flash backs of Rambus memory. People don't pay extra for obscure standards, USB already fought off Firewire and now it's absorbing Thunderbolt.
Linus made a segue to his sponsor at the end of the video but it isn't there lol
Maybe Corsair canceled it or something?
Phones: USB 4 M
Everythibg else: USB 4
Never this simple 😭
I'm so sad that I live in Brazil and can't buy that corsair laptop, my god loved it
The big problem is, always has been, and always will be: money.
If you wanna force more features to be included, the price is gonna be higher. Some people don't want that, they just want to download stuff to/from their phones at 40gbps and that's it.
Hell, that's why USB 2.0 100w charging-only cables are still popular: they're cheap.
I hate cable management.
I can understand why it's a thing, but I really hate it. I hope someday soon we really will have one cable for everything.
Oof. I can even see myself having problems with finding out which version of usbs will be implemented in a device in the future...
So cool that you support the gay community now with your hoodie merch
Will we ever come to a point where you could run power and video in one cable to a monitor? Maybe even further, have multiple monitors daisy chained? USB4 theoretically supports it and it would not only clean up cable clutter but simplify compatibility.
Why are standards not standard?
you should see this USBC "audio only" cable I discovered. instead of sending an actual USB signal, it's two dacs and adcs paired up to each other
Imagine USB eventually taking on and assimilating SATA, Ethernet, and maybe even fiber optic technologies. The truly universal cable.
Just change the colour of the plastic inside the connectors
Goddamn didn’t usbc come out a couple years ago? I want this shit to just not change for like 10 years, I’m sick of buying new shit
Linus for fucks sake please stop hyping 8k displays. They are bad for consumers and literally everyone else that wants a good product and media experience.
Inb4 Thunderbolt 4
Ughhhhhhh.... I work in a small computer shop and this CONTINUES to be the bane of my God damned existence. I have a script I start down when someone calls to ask why the docking station they bought doesn't work with their monitor or charge their laptop.... Because USB-C was supposed to be the "One Port" and instead just exists to make my life a living hell
Nope, absolutely no reason to switch. Sorry!
So SUSB - Semi-Universal Serial Bus?
