Does this mean I'll have to deal with another planned-obsolescence connector? I was hoping with Moore's law flattening out that we would more or less be done with this mess. USB-C does a great job, what's wrong with it?
- dymk 4y agoNah you'll have to wait for USB5 for the new connector
- nicoburns 4y agoPretty sure this is still using the USB-C connector.
- chrisseaton 4y agoUSB-C is a connector. USB4 v2.0 is a protocol. Different things. No need to be this excited.
- stjohnswarts 4y agothis is more than most non-techie people can handle.
- Dylan16807 4y agoWell that's too bad because most ports have multiple protocol versions or capacities over the same shape.
- drzaiusx11 4y agoafaict it will still use the usb-c connector, they're just playing catch-up to thunderbolt as far as bandwidth. now you can do PCIe over USB4 just like thunderbolt. Although I haven't read the whole spec yet, likely it finally supports dual high-def monitors which USB4v1 didn't do
- eyelidlessness 4y agoGonna disagree with all of the other comments so far: yes, you’ll have to deal with another set of USB-C connectors with a slightly different capability matrix.
