USB 3.2 standard can be used on PC during the year
According to the latest USB naming convention published by USB-IF, the original USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 will no longer be named. All USB standards will be called USB 3.2. Of course, considering compatibility, USB 3.0 to USB 3.2 are called respectively. USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
For the new USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 naming, it uses all the data pins up and down to double the data speed. So, when will the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 device be used?
The USB-IF standards group revealed that the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 controller will be available later in 2019, meaning that consumers will be able to use the latest standards in their desktops during the year. In other words, consumers can use existing devices by purchasing peripherals that support the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard.
For the USB socket and the standard big name, including USB 3.0 and USB 3.1, after the unified system, everyone is called USB 3.1. For example, in July 2013, after USB 3.1 was released, USB-IF called all USB 3.X USB 3.1, including USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 Gen 2. Now that USB 3.2 has been released for a while, USB-IF has to do something new, and that is the reunification of the USB 3.X series.
