Thunderbolt 4 is the USB 3.2 spec!
If incorporates Thunderbolt 3 performance features one is the dual lane link netting 20 gigabytes per second per link or bi-directionally 40 gigabytes per second.
You do need to make sure both devices and the cable connecting them is TB4 spec’ed to get the full performance.
