Intel certification says it all. These are certified by Intel for TB, so they are TB cables. All others USB C type cables that aren't Intel certified are not TB cables... they may or may not work as expected. Cable Matters makes some of the highest quality cables for most applications, and don't skimp on materials.

I have tested these on a TB3 NVME drive and as expected the results were pretty much spot on with the previous cable I used (also certified Intel). I don't have any USB4 devices, but a fully optioned USB4 bus (with 40Gbps bandwidth and External PCI lanes) is pretty much TB3. I definitely don't have any TB5 or USB4 - 80 devices, but I trust the Intel Certification will guarantee the 120Gbps bandwidth required for the former more than any manufacturer's claim.

Cable Matters makes high quality cables and I generally trust their claims. As these are also Intel Certified, there's pretty much no doubt.
