You're missing the entire point.

If I have a laptop with two USB-C ports, but only one supports thunderbolt, that is because one is wired to the xHCI hub and the other is wired through PCI-e via the thunderbolt interconnect. The physical connection is the same, so there would be no reason for Framework to sell a "thunderbolt-capable USB-C".

If you're going to argue about something you don't seem to have comprehension of, at least try to consume the provided answers before you stubbornly dig in.

I'm not missing the point, blowhard. I stated a verifiable fact: The description does not confirm that the Framework's USB-C modules support Thunderbolt. So you're bloviating on something that nobody brought up or is relevant.

Maybe you're replying to the wrong person. If you don't understand comment threading on Internet forums, you need some remedial instruction. I have no idea where you should turn for that. But step 1 is to stop lashing out against random people because you're frustrated.

And yet, you still don't understand a single thing, and just want to argue. Which seems to be common for you, based on your comment history.

So here, in elementary bulletpoint recaps of this conversation.

A) all USB-C ports are physically capable of handling Thunderbolt. There's no such thing as a Thunderbolt USB-C.

B) the most recent Framework laptop is Thunderbolt certified and tested, so your USB-C ports will support Thunderbolt.

If that simplification isn't enough for you, maybe avoid more technical communities. Just stick to TomsHardware.
