Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH Thunderbolt 3 Support Yet?

[bryandimaio]

I just noticed that the April Buyer's Guide was updated to include support for the GA-Z170X-UD5-TH motherboard. Does this mean we'll be able to use Thunderbolt 3 or will it just be seen as a USB 3.0 bus?

I think not, because Apple does not offer it.

Yes, you'd be taking a risk for near term support of Thunderbolt 3. However, everyone expects new Apple Macs to have Thunderbolt 3. (I expect to see a MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 before I ever see another Mac Pro...sigh.)

That's great to know, thank you!

Is it worth buying and waiting for the mac support?

Is there a PCI-E thunderbolt card available for X100 motherboard, skylake build?

Many many thanks.
