It has two independent 10Gbps channels, so it can do 20Gbps.

That's not really relevant as long as you can't choose the directions for the channels. You are only going to get one channel in each direction.

Edit: Whoa. I just re-read parts of the Intel documentation, and it seems there are indeed two independent downstream channels. My bad. It also looks like there is no provision for using both channels for a single device? I have no idea.

2x10Gbps is still enough to drive two 2560x1600 displays at 60Hz, which is all the prior DisplayPort implementation could do.
