2, DisplayPort and optionally PCIe. The first product compatible with USB4 is Intel’s Tiger Lake processor. More USB4 devices are expected to appear in 2020, with most expected to support Thunderbolt 4 functionality as optional. Apple Inc., Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Renesas, STMicroelectronics, and Texas Instruments were among the companies that participated in USB4 Specification technical work group.
