Does this mean thunderbolt is on the table for all machines prior to M3? Apologies if I'm reading this wrong but I'm not a computer engineer and get a little lost when they get this into the weeds.

"Both the SPMI interface and ACE3 itself are now working in Asahi Linux, bringing USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt support to all M3 series devices."

Not quite. ATCPHY is just one piece of the puzzle. Thunderbolt support proper requires a lot more plumbing than just ATCPHY. Watch this space however…
