- jrochkind1 8y agoOh, I see. I guess that's... clearer.
- Dylan16807 8y agoExcept the list of speeds is ridiculously arcane. People can easily figure out that 3.1 beats 3 beats 2. Good luck getting them to guess whether "full speed" beats "high speed", or why there are three different things all called "Superspeed+"
- zokier 8y agoThere is not supposed to be any superspeed+ branding. From USB-IF guidelines: > NOTE: SuperSpeed Plus, Enhanced SuperSpeed and SuperSpeed+ are defined in the USB specifications however these terms are not intended to be used in product names, messaging, packaging or any other consumer-facing content. > USB-IF’s recommended nomenclature for consumers is “SuperSpeed USB” for 5Gbps products, “SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps” for 10Gbps products and “SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps” for 20Gbps products Those are hardly "ridiculously arcane". Full speed is not really relevant, so only thing consumers need to know is that superspeed > high speed, which I don't think as very high bar.
- Dylan16807 8y agoDid they delete the 1x2 mode? If not, the answer to "Does this cable support SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps?" becomes significantly more complicated than it should be. But fine, if we actually see everything branded as "SuperSpeed USB XXGbps" then it's overly long but it's understandable. I am not convinced we won't see a hideous hodgepodge of different branding guides, though. Some saying "SuperSpeed USB __Gbps", some saying "USB 3.2", some saying "gen __", some saying "SuperSpeed+"
