The USB 3.0 Promoter Group announced the new USB 3.2, an incremental information which brings many advantages such as double data transfer speed without 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 multi-lane operation, but USB 3.2 is the first to take full advantage of this application.
So USB 3.2 hosts and USB devices will be designed as solutions multi-lane, offering two different approaches: either 2 lanes of 5 Gbps or 2 lanes of 10 Gbps.
Between the two, it's not hard to figure out what approach the leading device manufacturers will choose, especially because a USB 3.2 storage device will offer data transfer performance that exceeds 2 GB per second when a SuperSpeed- USB 10 Gbps.
"Όταν κυκλοφορήσουμε στην αγορά το USB Type-C, σκοπεύαμε να εξασφαλίσουμε ότι τα καλώδια και οι υποδοχές USB Type-C έχουν πιστοποιηθεί για SuperSpeed USΒ ή SuperSpeed USΒ 10 Gbps, για να παράγουν, την υψηλότερη απόδοση στο USΒ καθώς αναπτύχθηκαν νέες γενιές USΒ 3.0 δήλωσε ο Brad Saunders, Πρόεδρος του USΒ 3.0 Promoter Group. "Η ενημέρωση USΒ 3.2 προσφέρει το επόμενο επίπεδο απόδοσης."
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 the latest models of 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.
