    You can buy 128GBps external pci expansion chassis today.  That TB3 is 40GBps is just what that standard supports.
    But, how would you connect it? Can you combine a several TB3 ports?

    No, each port is typically on a TB switch so if you grab two ports on the same switch you're still bandwidth limited.  Bonding two TB switches isn't doable today.

    But TB4 or beyond could or it may get replaced by some other interconnect standard that's just an external 16x PCIe 5 connection with expensive and short cables...
    Well, there is OCuLInk 2 (basically external PCIe 4.0) but that's pretty rare to see, even in the server space.
