How does this relate to Thunderbolt? What about the excessive processor overhead that has plagued USB vs. other I/O technologies?

USB4 v2.0 is equivalent to so called thunderbolt 5 that intel teased one year ago.

It's frustrating how deceptive the marketing can be with these specifications, but I believe it's going to be 80 Gb/s of unidirectional bandwidth not bidirectional? That's due to 20 Gb/s per differential pair of which there are four. This would be a doubling over the 10 Gb/s per diff pair that thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 currently do.
