Titlegore — probably better to describe the new format at 14% faster than Thunderbolt.
As for the question, I’d say it depends on whether we gotta get new cables or not. USB-C cables are good for Thunderbolt. Having to buy new cables might mitigate some of that 14%.
I mean. Direct PCIe access has some serious security issues since it gives direct memory access. So def would want some more modern DMA security features enabled. Now granted probably only using a trusted device liek a gpu, so less of a deal. Basically == to plugging any other pcie device in.
Also not hotswappable is a pretty big deal. But again, pretty cool for external GPUs which feels like this would be targeted for.
