This was due to thermal constraints, with 3DVCache. But this seems largely fixed with Granite Ridge.

Of course. The maximal bandwidth of USB 4 40Gbps is 40Gbps, not 32Gbps. PCIe is only a subprotocol tunneled by Thunderbolt/USB4. You took them with a grain of salt, but the screenshots from the kickstarter project are not fakes. They are possible, since they don't exceed the USB4...

Divide your b/s by 1024, several times, instead of 1000. Or see my first post: That makes sense, to me, that the speed stays below 32Gbps. And with MiB/s instead of MB/s, that works (many people are confused with them, even professionnal or company, sometimes). But I'll give you the benefit of...

It's a pity that even 8000G/Hawk Point based processors, with native USB4, don't have support on any AM5 motherboard (except one, from minisforum).

On the X670E, the ASM4242 is connected directly to the CPU, while on the X870E, it is connected throught the chipset (itsel connected to the CPU with 4 lines Gen 4), and share its bandwidth with all the others links (ethernet, wifi, m2...)

4,059.15 MB/s is 31.71Gbps (I assume it's 4,059 MiB/s, not MB/s, the tool wrongly reports this), just below the bandwidth of 4 PCIe Gen 3 lines, and well below the bandwidth of USB4 40Gbps. Not sure how to take account the overhead and which values include or excludes them (40Gbps? 32Gpbs...

This defeats the Personal Computer philosphy, where all are standardized (ATX, PCISIG, ...) so that all components are compatible with each other and can be assembled and upgraded individually. Otherwise, you might as well buy a Mac There are few add-in card that make sense. For once there's an...

Not outputs. miniDP are inputs (from GPU outputs), for USB-C DP Alt mode. At least, here it's clear: "Only supports ASUS motherboards."

And without that proprietary header, the TB port doesn't work at all, right? Most general purpose controllers (sata, nvme, usb...) work over pcie without any additional header. It's really pity that USB4 / TB controllers need that header and aren't autonomous on pcie.

What puzzles me is that TB certification imposes guaranteed minimum bandwidths (this is the added value over USB). But obviously, only one port is tested on this kind of addin card, never both at the same time. Otherwise, Intel itself would have failed its own certification, with its TB4 and TB5...

That makes sense: 4040.22MB/s = (/1024) 3.946GB/s = (x8) 31.56 Gbps The TB controller itself should handle that. The host controller.

PCIe 4.0 4x per port. There are 2 USB-C ports. So, this card should be PCIe 4.0 8x, or PCIe 5.0 4x splitted to 2x PCIe 4.0 4x. Same issue with the previous Intel TB controller, which was only PCIe Gen 3 4x.

What are thunderbolt headers for? Is it only compatible with specific Gigabyte motherboards, like for the USB4 ASM4242 (Asus/MSI) add-in card, or with any motherboard with generic pcie 4.0 slots?

Are you serious? You see a hard drive lying around, and the first thing you think of is throwing it in the garbage can? A yoghurt pot, all right, but a storage medium, a USB stick or a keyring? I'm thinking more of a couple's revenge. Not an accident.
