    It’s actually different and better as the previous naming scheme was actually horrendous (trying to explain it to customers was a nightmare).

    Cause previously if you wanted to figure out what speed of USB port you were getting you’d have to look up the table because me telling you that a port was USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 doesn’t tell you jack shit.

    Can you see how cursed this is for non-tech savvy people? Absolutely terrible.

    Thankfully now the new naming scheme will be:
    USB +

    • 5 Gbps
    • 10 Gbps
    • 20 Gbps
    • 40 Gbps

    So the xkcd meme actually isn’t relevant here.

    Edit:
    Revised grammar in the first sentence
