If you’re using a Thunderbolt 3 controller with modified firmware to enable Thunderbolt bus, there can be a boot lag when the controller is probed and initialized. But for Maple Ridge TB4, there’s no boot delay.Hi, anybody experience boot lag and lag in OpenCore Picker screen when Thunderbolt connected. I have my OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock connected. I see significant lag in the bot. but no lag when the dock is disconnected? I use @CaseySJ's EFI folder.
Also, there are finally non-Intel USB 4 solutions coming such as ASMedia ASM4242. As we know TB4 is an implementation of USB 4, with all the optional features like PCIe tunneling enabled.
The ASMedia chipset may eventually end up in discrete PCIe cards and possibly even some Ryzen motherboards. But I don’t know whether a USB 4 header will be necessary for the discrete cards, similar to the need for a Thunderbolt header on some motherboards. Would be interesting if an ASMedia controller can be used with the Mac to enable Thunderbolt bus. I doubt it but an interesting question nonetheless.
