Thunderbolt 3 link speed
I can't find supporting documents for your claim that Thunderbolt 3 can do 8 GB/s (64 Gbit/s). For instance this document by Intel states 40 Gbit/s logical link speed. Therefore, I have reverted your edit to PCI Express. Could you elaborate? Thanks! Digital Brains (talk) 09:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey there, yes sorry it was my bad math, I am so accustom to seeing 40G (bit) marketing being the speed that when I saw a 5G (byte) the brain clicked it as wrong, then I was like "40 is 8 times 5" so its gotta be 8 >.< I had realized my mistake and was about to revert but you are faster .. did not intend to put false data on the page there are other sections of the page where it does "40 Gbit/s (5 GB/s throughput)". it might be good to be consistent in this manner to avoid this happening.
 * I suspected it might be the 8×5, as I've done that myself a few times. 5 is such an odd number (literally, even). I think the page primarily uses GB/s when it is talking about net rates. If you say 40 Gbit/s, is that before or after fixed overhead like error correction? Is the author mistaken and do they mean 40 GT/s? While there is still a risk of someone getting it wrong, it is very uncommon to talk about gross rates in terms of bytes per second. But this is all just my gut feeling. If it were up to me, everything would be in GT/s and Gbit/s. Learn people to think about rates in SI multiples of bits per second, and not distract them with another unit that is just a fixed multiple of the other. Stuff still gets messy when discussing things like PAM, though. Digital Brains (talk) 09:46, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
