Thunderbolt is not just for audio interfaces.The instances where you need Thunderbolt for audio production are very few however. A stream of 192 KHz/24-bit audio is just under 5 Mb/s, meaning even USB 2.0 can support 96 channels of 192 KHz/24-bit audio.
Copied from intel press release.
"Thunderbolt 5 builds upon Thunderbolt 4 in several ways, including:
Two times the total bi-directional bandwidth; Bandwidth Boost provides up to three times the throughput for video-intensive usage, up to 120 Gbps.
Double the PCI Express data throughput for faster storage and external graphics.
Built on industry standards including USB4 V2, DisplayPort 2.1 and PCI Express Gen 4; fully compatible with previous versions.
Double the bandwidth of Thunderbolt Networking for high-speed PC-to-PC connections.
Utilizes a new signaling technology, PAM-3, to deliver these significant increases in performance with today’s printed circuit boards, connectors and passive cables up to 1 meter."
