Intel thunderbolt prices

[JoaoBarbosa]

Hi!

Im developing a intel-based board, but i have a doubt. I've got to pay more for using the thunderbolt? like royalties or something?

Hello JoaoBarbosa,

Thank you for posting in Intel community Forum.

Before we proceed, let me clarify. Are you building or designing a motherboard on you own with embedded controllers like Thunderbolt? Can you also tell us more why are you asking for this information?

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

I work in a enterprise that wants to develop a board with two USB-C connectors and a Alder Lake mobile processor. But are the costs that are added only on account of the additional ICs or should extra payments be made?
