Thunderbolt 5 and USB4v2 are the same thing now. They both support 80gbps and pcie pass through.

Not completely true: Thunderbolt 5 demands some capabilities that are optional for USB4v2.

From a protocol/bandwidth level, it’s essentially the same though. Thunderbolt 5 has some more guarantees for power and display, but the data rate of the two is the same.
