You need a pretty fast connection for the SCD's CPU and GPU data to cross over to the NX, and Thunderbolt 3 offers 40 GB/s, that's more than double PCI Express 3.0 x16, which is the current standard for PC graphics cards, which means there would be ample throughput for both CPU and GPU data. |
Thunderbolt 3 is actually 40 Gb/s, so more like 5GB/s. Not quite as fast as PCIE, but according to benchmarks it's fast enough to run high end GPUs at practically full speed. Should be plenty for Nintendo, if that's what they go with.
