@cgranade Oh, it gets worse. Previously, it was called USB 3.1 Gen 1. Before that, it was USB 3.0. All the same spec, now called USB 3.2 Gen 1.
The other 'variants' of USB 3.2 are Gen 2 and... Gen 2x2.
@joepie91 I knew about a bunch of them, but had somehow missed the retconning of names. Like what in the hell is going on over there?
@cgranade They seem to be in a competition with the HDMI folks on who can make the most confusing naming scheme, it seems
@joepie91 I daresay they're winning.
@cgranade Well... the HDMI folks *did* just recently rename HDMI 2.0 to HDMI 2.1, which was previously a wholly separate spec version
@joepie91 Ugh. I feel like "don't rename a spec once it has been released" should be easy, and yet.
@cgranade Oh and all of these are separate from the 'marketing names', which are SuperSpeed USB, SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps, and SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps.
