I believe that will start changing quickly now that the Alpine Ridge controller for the Skylake controller. With the newer USB-C interface, the same controller chip for the USB-3.1 is the same controller chip for the thunderbolt 3 since they will both share the same physical interface (along with display-port). The main reason most motherboard manufactures wouldn’t support it was that it required extra controller chips and bus interconnects. Except on high end systems there was not enough demand for it. Now a dedicated chip is not needed since it’s all in one. So demand and extra cost should no longer be a limiting factor in the PC market -Reuben. _______________________________________________ ardour-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ardour.org/listinfo.cgi/ardour-dev-ardour.org
