The name of the new USB standard changes to USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

27 February 2019
"2x2" is a weird way to say "3", but renaming the old USB 3.1 Gen 1 and Gen 2 standards can make things even more confusing.

Wait, who cares that someone knows it's 2 lanes from the getgo? Just continue naming it usb3.0, usb3.1, usb3.2, etc.

      What a bunch of smart idiots. They have the ability to design such complex technologies but lack common sense to come up with a name that doesn't require a paragraph to write.

      It should've been USB 3 gen 1, 2 and 3. No USB 3.2 gen 2x2 nonsense.

            Just when you thought USB naming couldn't get any stupider...

            Time to ignore these names. The press must boycott them!

              USB standards are a mess both in charging and data speeds, USB was supposed to solve the worlds compatibility issues, instead it created its own

              Simply........ USB (standards) needs a complete reboot!!!!

                All this nonsense and devices will still transfer at about 30MBps.
