USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).
As for the cable length I wouldn’t really know, probably it’s possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn’t change much because the current os always rather low, it’s the voltage that increases.
None of those likely to be found on this specific devkit mate… those are all quite recent revisions.
And a cable length that short is useless for a console. Hence them needing something else… but sure just circlejerk hate Nintendo instead of having a discussion.
But it’s great you can google and paste stuff to support your “hate”. I figured you would put two and two together after googling and seeing how recent those revisions were. But you obviously can’t see past your hate here lol.
Not hating, I don’t know from which year this is from, didn’t even know it’s a development kit, and although the capabilities I mentioned are recent (and by recent, thunderbolt 4 has been around for at least a couple years, PD 120w for around the same or even more), a single usb-C has been capable of driving a portable device, that needs charging and a display output, from at least 7+ years.
You can call me cynical, but yes, if I see a strange double usb-C port I think it doesn’t really make a ton of sense and the first thing I think about is a strange trick to transform a standard technology in something proprietary, especially since nintendo has done the same with the switch 2 by implementing non-standard usb c in their dock.
So you just comment and decide to cry about Nintendo without even opening the post and seeing what it’s about…? That’s even worse lmfao. Just pure blind hate without knowing it’s a devkit… you’re the worst kind of person.
The rest of your comment isn’t even worth addressing since you’re just regurgitating ai, which is obvious since usb 3.2 isn’t capable of what you claimed….
Bandwidth limitations. Power limits the amount of data, so use one for each, or double the data maybe?
A single usbc can deviler 240W and data at 40 GB/s, what else can it be other than vendor lockin by nintendo?
What revision is that, and that’s also seriously limited by cord length.
It’s anything BUT, it’s a dev kit lmfao.

“vendor lockin by nintendo?”
Your original comment absolutely did.

This is not a recent revision. TB4 is from 2020. USB4 is 2019.
The real answer to this question is that Thunderbolt is an Intel standard and adds significant licensing and IP overhead to unit costs.
USB 3.2 that they specified from their ai synopsis can’t handle either…
…Right, the question is “why wouldn’t they just use the tech available at the time rather than this monstrosity.”
Because the tech didn’t have the bandwidth capability, hence the doubling up…
As addressed already higher up the thread!
