The upcoming iteration of the Dell XPS 15 will finally have full speed 4-lane Thunderbolt 3 along with possibly a 5K display option according to Dell's VP Gaming and XPS, Frank Azor, who also confirms that Dell is waiting for Intel to ship its 8th generation H-series processors.

The Dell XPS 15 has always been a laptop to watch out for. Despite some gripes, which we'd like to see fixed in the next iteration, the XPS 15 9560 remains one of the best selling prosumer laptops for content creation and probably a bit of gaming with its thin form factor and a gorgeous 4K display. While we got a sneak peek at the next iteration of the Dell XPS 13, details have been scarce with respect to what plans Dell has in store for the XPS 15. Responding to a user's query on Twitter who asked whether a 4-lane Thunderbolt 3 port would see the light of the day in the next iteration, Dell's VP General Manager of Alienware, Gaming and XPS, Frank Azor, replied in the affirmative (yaay!) and went to add that the display option would be absolute best option available.

We've been hearing for quite some time about Dell planning to include full 4-lane Thunderbolt 3 on their XPS lineup. The latest models have only 2-lane Thunderbolt 3 ports, which become a bottleneck when planning to hook up the laptop to an eGPU. We're glad to know that Dell has listened to feedback and is not nerfing the full bandwidth of this port in the next generation. We also reported on a listing spotted on Dell's website about an XPS 15 sporting a GTX 1060 and a QHD+ screen. Going by Azor's tweet, we might very well see a 5K screen debut in the next iteration.
