Title: USB gets simpler with new speed-focused labeling system replacing technical jargon
Post by: Redaktion on January 11, 2025, 18:34:02
The USB-IF introduces a simplified labeling system that shows data transfer speeds and power delivery capabilities directly on devices and cables. It replaces complex technical terms like "USB4 v2" with clear indicators like "USB 80Gbps".

USB-C >> 4 v2 >> 80 Gbps

USB-C >> 4 >> 40Gbps

USB-C >> 3.2 Gen 2x2 >> 20 Gbps

USB-C >> 3.2 Gen 2 >> 3.1 Gen 2 >> 10 Gbps

USB-C >> 3.2 Gen 1 >> 3.1 Gen 1 >> 3.0 >> 5 Gbps

USB-A >> 3.2 Gen 2 >> 3.1 Gen 2 (SuperSpeed 10) >> 10 Gbps

USB-A >> 3.2 Gen 1 >> 3.1 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed 5) >> 3.0 (SuperSpeed) >> 5 Gbps

USB-A >> 2.0 >> 480 Mbps

USB-C
80 Gbps = 4 v2
40 Gbps = 4
20 Gbps = 3.2 Gen 2x2
10 Gbps =   3.2 Gen 2 = 3.1 Gen 2
 5 Gbps =   3.2 Gen 1 = 3.1 Gen 1 = 3.0

USB-A
 10 Gbps = 3.2 Gen 2 = 3.1 Gen 2 (SuperSpeed 10)
  5 Gbps = 3.2 Gen 1 =  3.1 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed 5) = 3.0 (SuperSpeed)
480 Mbps = 2.0

Seems like this should have been from the start or soon after various versions convoluted the technology.

Now only if other tech companies could follow suit (hint hint: Intel, AMD).
