Yeah, but the old labels won’t just magically disappear. Tech folks might know how to handle it but for everyone else it will be just more of the same. As far as they care for labeling to begin with.
I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there’s two competing devices next to each other, one marked with “USB 3.2 Gen 2x2”, which no one understands, and other one with “USB 20Gbps” I think the latter will sell more.
This isn’t that. It’s relabeling the existing USB standards in a way that actually makes sense finally.
Does nothing for existing cables.
I mean… yeah? They’re not gonna break into your house and emboss new symbols on cables you already own.
You may as well be advocating against better food packaging labels because stuff you’ve bought already won’t benefit from it.

Probably. But then again, if one says “USB 20Gbps”, but the one next to it has “80Gbps”, it might be better to have had “USB 3.2 Gen 2x2”
Not when the USB 80Gbps cable is 8x the cost.
Yeah something you don’t have to further look up to figure out what it means. Just simpler.
You mean the 3.0, 3.1 gen 1 and 3.1 gen 2 that all was changed to the same thing?
Even the 3.2 gen 1 is the same as the others IIRC and you need like 3.2 gen2 2x2 to go to even 10gbps.
I’m maybe off a little bit but the gist is there, rant off/
Yeah, this is about the 15th time they’ve done that.
But it’s the very first time that they are making them actually make sense.
