Year 2026 the USB organization this renames USB 3.0 \ 4.0 protocol name

[Kiriakos GR]

I was investigating Chinese factories which manufacture USB products, and I did noticed this new noise about USB naming.

At 2026, USB organization this finalized USB 3.2 product specifications.
This time even naming of USB 3.0  / 3.1 / 3.2 this when under evaluation and accepted changes.

Everything as USB 3.0+  this is now renamed as USB 3.2
This USB 3.2 will be written with bold text over the packaging.
But product description this will extend at describing also GEN 1 / GEN 2 / GEN 2x2  or USB 4.0    

New products with latest USB descriptions, they might shown in Europe and worldwide at 2027.

In theory, the educated consumer he should start a fresh education curve,  so to be able to correctly identify the actual supported speed of USB cables and USB devices.

Attached one chart this visualizing the incoming changes. 
GEN 2x2 and USB 4.0   =  Type C connector
GEN 1 / GEN 2    =   USB blue multi contacts connector
