During the technical demonstration, the USB 3.2

The exact framework of the standard was laid down at the end of last year.

USB 3.2 actually doubles the pace in a very simple way; it uses two instead of the standard one data band, which has increased the effective speed to 20 Gbps. Because the USB Type-C SuperSpeed ​​cable is already designed for dual-band operation, it fully supports the new USB standard.

As seen in the video above, Synopsys achieved a speed of 1,6 GB / s during a technical demonstration of USB 3.2, which is by no means slow. The host system was a Windows 10-based machine, but the target device was already running Linux, with a back-up of 2 MB / s.

Despite the encouraging result and the finalized specifications, the new interface can only be encountered by terrestrial mortals (i.e., end users) at the end of 2019. This is unfortunately not surprising in the sense that USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), which is also not to blame for the snail's pace, is not very common nowadays, at least this interface is "forgotten" from cheap (bb) motherboards.
