Yeah, Thunderbolt 3 would definitely be necessary for SCD to work properly. 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 40Gb/s notice the small b.  This is equilvent to 5 GB/s.  A PCI Express 3.0 X16 is 15.76 GB/s or 126 Gb/s.  Way faster then Thunderbolt 3.

small b usually repersent bits

Capital B usually repersents Bytes

There 8 bits in a Byte
