New firmware update brings Thunderbolt 3 support to selected Gigabyte motherboards

New firmware update brings Thunderbolt 3 support to selected Gigabyte motherboards

And the Thunderbolt 3 protocol brings 40 Gb/s to that connector, coming from 20 Gb/s. Gigabyte is pleased to announce that its support for Intel Thunderbolt 3 has expanded with the certification by Intel of the GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming G1, GA-Z170X-Gaming GT, and GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 motherboards.

Users that wish to upgrade their motherboard can download an updated version of the firmware from GIGABYTE’s website. Once the user installs the updated firmware, Thunderbolt™ 3 support will be enabled on the motherboard.
 
Powered by Intel’s own Thunderbolt™ 3 controller, the new Thunderbolt™ 3 protocol, which is available over a USB Type-C™ connector on the back I/O of select motherboards, brings an unprecedented single-wire bandwidth of up to 40 Gb/s -- twice more than the previous generation!
 
Thunderbolt™ 3 over USB Type-C™ supports DisplayPort 1.2, which is able to drive a 4K resolution display at 60 FPS, and revolutionary industry-first features such as power delivery up to 36W, as well as the ability to daisy-chain up to 6 devices per USB Type-C port.

Cool, I now have Thunderbolt 3 support on my Gaming 7 board. :) However, I also have Thunderbolt disabled in the bios since I have no Thunderbolt devices. :D
