when is USB4 coming out

Need that BANDWITH

just replace all HDMI and Displayport cables with USB4

and for those VR headsets too

Usb4 is very early I think the estimate was after 2020?

people are barely adopting USB 3.0

it'll take years before USB 4.0 is out

but it

will be a welcome addition

more data the better

What third world country do you live in where 3.0 isn't being adopted

i mean people might be waitting for the half-assed usb3.0 to upgrade into 4.0

as same shit just protocol and chips change

I'll have you know the official consumer names are "SuperSpeed USB" and "USB4"

because fuck making sense

@Matthew canada

we're on USB 3.1 right now

and USB 3.0 is not everywhere now

@Cad >SuperSpeed USB

?????

USB 3.2 apparently has a suggested consumer name of SuperSpeed USB

I like the work that the USB foundation is doing

but jesus they need to get better people to name their stuff

It begs the question of what USB4 is gonna be called when it's launched and they decide USB4 doesn't work

>40 GBPS capable USB4 ports is called USB4 Gen 3x2

??????

so there are USB4 ports not capable of 40 GBPS?

>USB 3.1 Gen 2, increased the lane speed to 10 Gbps. A second 10 Gbps lane was added in the USB 3.2 standard, which the USB-IF calls "USB 3.2 Gen 2×2." USB4 (which is not written as "USB 4.0") will reach speeds of 40 Gbps, doubling the speeds again.

gen 3x2 wtf

>"Once the specifications are released, there will be a new round of confusion," the source told TechRepublic. "It's going to be USB4, but you have to qualify what USB4 means, because there are different grades. USB4, by definition, has to be [at least] Gen 2×2, so it will give you 10 Gbps by 2, that's 20 Gbps. There's going to be USB4 Gen 3×2, which is 20 Gbps per lane. 20 by 2 will give you 40 Gbps."

????

all this naming

so you take the first digit multiplied by 10 in Gbps, unless it's gen 3x2, then go fuck urself

and they don't think of giving them names to dictate if they can do video and thunderbolt or not

like actual consumer features

"So I got this USB4 cable but it doesnt do video out and charge at the same time"

"oh it's a USB4 gen 2x2 cable and not the USB 4 Gen 3x2 cable which is video out capable"

cue the boondocks clip of Grandad in the Mac store

i'd say 99% of users don't care about the difference between 20 gbps and 40 gbps
