- ihuman 8y agoHow come USB4 is one word, when USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and so on are 2? Is there an actual answer at all?
- out_of_protocol 8y agoLatest version name is USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 You see, lines up perfectly
- Aardwolf 8y ago"4" means bad luck in some countries, so maybe they should name it "USB5" from "3 + 2"

- ConceptJunkie 8y agoArbitrary and capricious marketing.
- magduf 8y agoIt's kinda like the Pentium4, where Intel switched from Roman numbers ("Pentium II", "Pentium III") to an Arabic numberal with no space. Hopefully USB4 won't be the energy-guzzling disaster that Pentium4 was.

- pbz 8y agoNaming is not (that) hard. What's usually hard is ignoring the ego that tells us to leave a mark or that we know better than others; i.e. putting your self before the whole.
- basch 8y agowhen can we start calling it the C4 port?
- dylan-m 8y agoI'd be willing to bet the next version is USB4 2.0.
- wlesieutre 8y agoIf they stick with the current system, next will be USB4.1 Gen 2, while USB4 gets retroactively renamed to USB4.1 Gen 1. But that's assuming they don't find a creative new way to name USB4 versions poorly.
