When Gordon reviewed the Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED equipped with a Ryzen 7 6800U, he couldn't get USB4 to work. After some back and forth with AMD to get a newer BIOS, he was able to get it a whole host of devices connected -- including an eGPU! In Gordon's words: I S MYSELF WHEN USB4 WORKED! Frank: Yay, really glad to finally consider AMD laptops now without fan boys telling me You don't need the bandwidth of Thunderbolt, USB3 is enough when I say I need Thunderbolt. That was NEVER a good argument!

I just bought a new Laptop 10 Months ago and just Built a New PC 2 Months ago... Although I don't have a use for 10Gig Type C other than charging my Iphone it's still nice to see the improvements.. I, like a lot of people just buy USB Type-A 3.0 thumb drives because they are cheap and fast enough.. I know Mac user's are Big on the whole Dongle thing.. People who edit and have multiple Monitor's love it too.. And I get get it.. But I am good with or without it really.. I must always come off as negative but a lot of people who weren't born into all of this.. Like this is a good thing don't get me wrong. I agree 1 to rule them all. But the change I am talking about is like windows 10 to 11 Like should I or not? I keep hearing with my Current ALL AMD Rig that I will get up to a 15% performance increase in older games if I go to 11???? To keep it simple I have a 5900X with a 6800XT SAM/PBO On 1 to 1 Fabric 1800 n Memory at 3600Mhz 16T.. So I am Tuned up pretty good but I am still using windows 10 on my Desktop.. But anyway does anyone know If 11 is really better for gaming???

Things you might didn't know about Thunderbolt eGPU:
It's never performing at 40 Gbps as advertised. It's running at 22 Gbps.
Also, at the time of writing this comment, there's no Thunderbolt 4 eGPU docking in existence.
So if you plug TB3 eGPU into TB4 port, it will still behave like TB3 exactly at 22 Gbps.
On the other hand, M.2 NVMe slot can handle 32 Gbps if it's Gen 3, or 64 Gbps if it's Gen 4. So obviously eGPU will run a lot faster from M.2 slot.

Thanks for bringing this update into our notice. This was preventing a lot of people from getting AMD laptops, mainly they're already invested in Thunderbolt eco system.
By the way, is this Beta Bios available to general users for downloading from Asus or AMD?

When will USB4 arrive on motherboards? Is it true that USB4 can actually power a laptop, in other words no need for that black rectangular power brick that's needed to charge a laptop?

I have seen at least on instance of 'thunderbold' shorting out and making itself non-functional, having destroyed it's connectivity port.

I had to buy an Intel dell XPS 13 instead of an AMD laptop cause I wanted thunderbolt so AMD finally having TB equivalent is awesome

This is an amazing feature that AMD based laptops were missing. This is a great news. Should we thank Windows for this feature ?
