Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

The same or similar story, if not the same story.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

Oh, no, similar story with the two Thunderbolt five ports up to 120 gigs a second, gigabits per second.

One is for the host, which allows up to 140 watt charging up from 96 on the non XDR version.

And then again, you can the other one is for downstream with additional daisy chaining possible.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

All right.

And then this, of course, also has an A19 Pro as per Mac rumors.

Also, there's a day one software update, which is kind of funny.

And then there was a big question from me about what is the story with regard to Mac support?

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

Because they had said, oh, it's a Thunderbolt 5 port.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

So I think we had talked about at some point in the past, well, is there enough bandwidth in any flavor of Thunderbolt to do 120 hertz at 5K?

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

And I honestly don't remember what we concluded.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

I think we thought that there was, but only just 5K.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

So I had read, I was nervous at first because I'm kind of lusting after this thing.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

I was nervous that my lowly M3 Macs wouldn't be supported because it's only Thunderbolt 4, not Thunderbolt 5.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

And I had assumed initially that, oh, you're going to need Thunderbolt 5 to support 120 hertz.

Accidental Tech Podcast
681: The Price of Your Nightmares

As it turns out, that's incorrect.

There is some information about what Macs are supported.
