After the introduction of the new USB 3.1 port in December 2013, Intel now showed pictures of the new port at the in-house Intel Developer Forum IDF 2017 in China.
The connector, which is also known as type C, is to be more compact than the conventional types A and B - the housing opening for the coming standard has to measure just 2.5 x 8.3 mm.
Similar to the Lightning connector from Apple can also plug this plug in any orientation. The circuit board in the socket is now centered and covered on both sides.
In addition, the USB Power Delivery feature is supported to charge electronic devices. Up to five amps should be possible with the connections, but Intel limits this assumption: Unspecified standard cables should be able to withstand only 3 amperes. This would allow 15 watts at a voltage of 5 volts.
Furthermore, the USB-AV standard, which was introduced in 2011, is supported. In order to transmit a film parallel to the charging. So far neither the HDCP copy protection nor the frequency of HDMI 2.0 or Displayport 1.3 on board: USB-AV 3.1 comes with 4K resolutions only with 30 hertz
A solution for the mechanical incompatibility with the existing sockets and plugs is also ensured. With an adapter you want to make type C compatible with the previous ports.
