According to this, 120 Gbps TB5 devices should be relased by 2024. Apple has a history of incorporating TB, so it seems we should be seeing TB5 AS devices at that time. According to the 2nd link, the TB5 standard supports 120 Gbps USB4.

120 Gbps is part of USB4 v. 2.0:
Why can't they just call it USB 5? 😖
They have a well-established history of bad nomenclature, and feel they need to maintain consistency with that practice. It's part of their brand.
Yep. USB c is incredibly frustrating and exacerbated by the fact that most manufacturers prioritize fast charging and put USB 2 in small print under some absurd wattage rating.
