Tech specs on the DTK webpage don’t mention Thunderbolt at all, just USB-C (2 ports) and USB-A (2 ports), plus a HDMI 2.0 port.

Makes me wonder how the Pro Display used in the demos was being driven. DisplayPort with USB-C alternate mode?

They only said the demos were running off Apple silicon, not that they were running off a Mac Mini DTK machine. They probably have other systems more akin to Mac Pros that they use internally.

They said the demos were running on an A12Z.

It's entirely possible the display was only running at 4K instead of the full, native resolution.
