They really did it with the versioning this time.


Yeah ok, but what about the USB4 2.1 2x2 Gen3.2 PD+ 1.5 tables?


Message from the future: All good there.

The issue is USB4 Gen II, which uses a slightly different protocol compared to USB4 2.0 for the higher bits. And the industry split in two camps, so if you really need the last order of magnitude of W or bps, you'll need to identify one ecosystem and stick with it.

Supposedly this will all be fixed in USB4.1, which unifies the two.
