Standard symmetric 80 Gbps is separately sourced from Intel. Apple up-to-120 Gbps wording includes asymmetric display Bandwidth Boost and is not stored as symmetric rate. Other connector sides remain attributed to the original tour manual.18Maker product pageintel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-introduces-thunderbolt-5-standard.htmlRead 8 October 2026Apple exact laptop sheet explicitly identifies three Thunderbolt 5 connectors.

Stored 80 is the named protocol symmetric link rate, not a measured file-transfer result. Requires compatible device/cable. Does not imply maximum charging input or internal SSD speed.
