Intel announced Thunderbolt 4 last year and the technology can be found mostly on the company's 11th gen Tiger Lake-based laptops. However, it didn't boost the maximum transfer rate (40Gbps) over what was already available with its preceding Thunderbolt 3 interface. But it looks like next-gen Thunderbolt 5 will be similar to Thunderbolt 3 and will double the throughput up from the current 40 all the way up to 80Gbps, according to a leaked internal presentation slide from Intel.

The slide which is showcasing Intel's "80G PHY Technology" was apparently posted on Twitter [...] The image however was later deleted by Bryant probably after he realized his mistake but fellow media outlet AnandTech was quick to save it.

As noted above, Thunderbolt 5 looks to be bringing very high 80Gbps bandwidth still using USB-C, which means the compatibility and adaptability of the next-gen interface should be easy, and according to what the slide says, it will be based on a "novel PAM-3 modulation technology".
