The dearth of Thunderbolt ports on most AMD-based motherboards has been well documented and whined about for years. Asus just threw everyone a bone with its Thunderbolt 4-equipped ProART B550-Creator motherboard.
The AM4 motherboard supports Ryzen 5000 CPUs and is aimed at content creators. That’s why it supplies such a long list of I/O ports, including two 2.5-gigabit ethernet ports and a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports.
The board will be the first Ryzen-based model to include the newer standard. Thunderbolt 4 adds support for two 4K monitors at 60Hz refresh rate (Thunderbolt 3 supported one), requires the PC to wake when connected to a Thunderbolt dock, adds protection for DMA-based attacks, and requires a minimum of 32Gbps of data transfer speeds. It also requires charging support.
