I'm actually ok with this because it'll make it easier in the future

Once USB4 is common place all people gonna care about is the number, USB3.2 slower than 4????

ez

it would have been less confusing with shit like having the first digit be the speed and second digit being the functions

>phasing out the type A connector

welcome to the "we have way too many people around this meeting table" decisions

as somebody who worked selling phones when USBC was new this shit is a nightmare peope face every day

well Type C connector is better than type A in every way

I had to **do my job** and explain to people what they were buying it was awful

expect type A can take much more abuse

and you can fit in more type C ports in the place type A used to be

true

nevermind i meant Type B

Does type C get loose like Type A does?

oh

my brain flipped the cables

Shit

Type A is the one used on PC's, B for mobile devices, and C is "All in one" new one right

Type A is misc devices type B is heavy duty stuff and C is all in one

oh type b was printers and shit

I still have an RN4X, does the type C Port get loose on new devices like micro eventually did

Thunderbolt 3—upon which USB4 is based—supports PCIe 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 signaling, making it capable of driving 4K monitors at 60Hz, as well as external desktop-class GPUs that can be used to bolster the graphical capabilities of notebook PCs and small form factor devices like the Mac Mini. USB4 will also inherit the ability to deliver up to 100W of power.

pretty cool

in the future you could just buy an EGPU and plug it into a laptop using USB4

currently EGPUs work but they need more bandwith

External GPU's is actually pretty cool, I'd rather dock a laptop then use one of those hilarious desktop part laptops

oh definitely

External GPUs will be far more common when we get USB4 around standardized

so it's not too expensive for manufacturers to implement it

Now speaking of naming fuck GPU's who decided laptop GPU's have the exact same names as desktop GPU's and there's secretly 2/3 different product lines with the same name like the RTX 2069 something Max Q, Super, TI, and Max P

at least here you can get return/money back if product is not as advertised .. dropping that Max Q from advert is quite big nono

as its 30% performance hit :D

USB 1 and 2 were easy

Then other shit got added and everyone lost track, even the bastards that came up with the names lost track

"type C is the reversable plug"

But not every type C is created equal

And some will be usb3 and others wont

Fuck that

the scare of frying devices when power delivery was new
