The USB 3.0 Promoter Group has announced the new USB 3.2, an incremental update that brings many benefits, such as twice the transfer speed data no cable upgrade.
In other words, devices will have dual data transfer rates using existing wires, thanks to an application that has been available since the original USB Type-C standard was launched.
Specifically, USB Type-C cables were designed from the outset to support her mode multi-lane, but USB 3.2 is the first to take full advantage of this application.
Thus, USB 3.2 hosts and USB devices will be designed as multi-lane solutions, offering two different approaches: either 2 lanes of 5 Gbps or 2 lanes of 10 GbBps.
Between the two, it's not hard to see which approach leading device manufacturers will choose, especially since a USB 3.2 storage device will offer data transfer performance in excess of 2GB per second when usesthere is someone cable USB Type-C certified for SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps.
"When we launched USB Type-C, we intended to ensure that USB Type-C cables and connectors were certified for SuperSpeed USB or SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps, to produce the highest performance in USB as they were developed new generations USB 3.0 said Brad Saunders, President of USB 3.0 Promoter Group. "USB 3.2 update offers the next level of performance."
The USB 3.0 Promoter Group includes leading members such as Microsoft, Apple, Intel, HP and many others. However, Microsoft still does not see USB 3.0 as a mature standard, and refuses to implement it in its latest models Surface, stating that it will cause more confusion for customers.
Microsoft said that if the correct cable was not used, customers could slow down their performance, which would eventually lead to more criticism that would affect the image of both the device itself and the company as a whole.
