What can the Raiden 3 interface do? Is Raiden 3 and Type C interface common?

1. What is the Thunderbolt 3 interface

The Thunderbolt interface was developed by Intel. Apple participated. The interface is mini DP. Previously, Thunderbolt was only used on Apple devices, and the price of peripherals that use Thunderbolt mini DP interface was very high, so it was very difficult to promote. Until Intel saw the gradual popularity of USB Type C, it announced that it would change the original mini DP interface of Thunderbolt 3 to USB Type C.

Therefore, USB Type C is only the attached interface type of Thunderbolt 3, and the appearance looks the same, but Thunderbolt 3 can realize most of the functions of Type C, and the transmission efficiency is higher. In order to distinguish the Thunderbolt 3 interface, the interface will be used nearby A "lightning" sign.

The current Thunderbolt 3 interface can be regarded as the product of the original Thunderbolt 3 abandoning the mini DP interface and using the USB Type C interface, and then conforming to the USB 3.1 standard. The performance of this interface is extremely powerful, with a transmission speed of up to 40Gbps in both directions. , This also means that there is enough bandwidth to connect various types of docking stations, such as high-performance discrete graphics.

2. Is Raiden 3 and type-c interface common?

Because the Thunderbolt 3 interface is the same as the type-c interface, many friends will wonder if the Thunderbolt 3 interface and type-c are common?

The answer is that Thunderbolt 3 is compatible with type-c. However, the comparison between the Thunderbolt 3 interface and the type-c interface is not very rigorous, because Thunderbolt 3 refers to the transmission protocol standard, and type-c is the physical protocol standard, and the two are not at the same latitude. Since the type-c we often say refers to the USB3.1 transmission protocol standard, we will default type-c to the USB3.1 transmission protocol standard, and Thunderbolt 3 is compatible with the USB3.1 transmission protocol, so Thunderbolt 3 can be used in common type -c interface, and can support USB3.1 up to 10Gbps data transfer rate and 100W PD charging. However, USB3.1 is not compatible with the Thunderbolt 3 standard, so general type-c devices cannot replace Thunderbolt 3 devices.

However, there are currently only a few notebooks that use the Thunderbolt 3 interface, and most users use the type-c interface. The type-c to 3.5mm audio charging adapter is very popular.
