Fine by me, as long as the Bluetooth logo is never changed. Long live King Harald Gormsson, the unifier!

It mutilates your data
Still the same as the 3.0.

Fucking finally
Now the EU needs to make it a legal requirement that every cable sold includes an engraving of the speed and watts on both ends.
The fact this dogshit continued for so long is unforgivable. Capitalism is most efficient my ass. It’s like the USB specs naming convention was outsourced to the dumbest, most illiterate engineers alive.
On second thought, the profit motive indicates the naming convention was probably done to intentionally create confusion and sell more cables.
I’ll believe it when I see it
Took long enough for someone over there to figure out they made some mistakes with recent branding. Glad they’ve finally made some positive changes for end users though.
Can’t wait for all the crapware to flood the market and slap that 80gbps logo on anything and everything
Ultimately, it’s great that users won’t need to squint to read the fine print or cross-reference spec sheets once the labels gain popularity.
I can’t even read the labels on the cables in the article photos.
Reality has a higher resolution than this potato photo.
I can’t even read the labels on the cables in the article photos.
…Because the image is crappy resolution, its like complaining you can’t read without your glasses on.
That bottom one looks embossed instead of printed. At the size of a USB-C cable plug, that’s going to be difficult to read outside of ideal lighting conditions.
That’s still significantly better than having no markings at all.
It’s a sample product packaging that has Lorem ipsum on it
The cable, not the package
It says 80G 240W, so it’s a max speed max wattage spec cable. Not that hard to read even with the low res image really, but that’s on techspot for compressing things
This isn’t that. It’s relabeling the existing USB standards in a way that actually makes sense finally.
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.
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”
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.
I don’t think you understand what’s going on here lol
Damn that’s a lot of bandwidth
