    USB keeps changing their own standard every 2 years why bother learning it.

      I mean, they update the standard to add new things. Is that bad?

        They also change existing terms for no good reason.

              The consumer facing names for those transmission specs are and have always been:

              • SuperSpeed 10 Gbps

              • SuperSpeed 20 Gbps

              Unless you’re designing your own circuits you don’t need to worry about signaling rates (ie “Gen”) or lane configuration (Z×Y).
