j5create Shows Off Thunderbolt 5 + 8K60 Display Docking Station

[btarunr]

Thunderbolt 5 is almost upon us. The new specification offers 80 Gbps bi-directional transfers, with up to 120 Gbps per-direction through lane asymmetry. The new Thunderbolt 5 + 8K60 Display Docking Station from j5create (model: JTD5172) takes advantage of Thunderbolt 5 to wire out next-gen connectivity. It plugs into one Thunderbolt 5 upstream port, putting out three downstream Thunderbolt 5. Each of the three double up as USB. You also have four type-A USB 3.2 ports, two each of 10 Gbps and 5 Gbps. When connected to a 2-pin power brick, the dock puts out a high-powered USB-PD 3.1 port with 140 W delivery. An SD/microSD 4.0 card reader, stereo audio through 4-pole 3.5 mm jack, and a 2.5 GbE wired networking interface make for the rest of it.

And it only costs a thousand dollars (I'm joking, but also not, because the prices these companies charge for this stuff are completely ridiculous).

Did intel even release anything about thunderbolt 5 to the public other than teasers and "leaks"?

Yes it's official and press release came out in September. I completely missed it too.
