(And yes, the USB team dropped the space in "USB4." That's not a typo.) Indeed, the fates and directions of the two new "4" specs are intertwined. Intel opened up the Thunderbolt 3 protocol to USB's controlling consortium (the USB-IF (Opens in a new window)) for royalty-free use in the development of next-generation USB4, delivering faster speeds and interoperability to USB4 devices. The story of the latest flavor of the Thunderbolt interface-Thunderbolt 4-starts with a change in direction, however. This port looks like one of the new-style, oval USB Type-C connectors, but it does a bunch more: It can carry a video signal using the DisplayPort protocol, charge connected devices, and allow for data transfers at speeds beyond what simple USB can manage.
