      That makes sense.

      USB 1,2,3,4 is the standard and relates to the speeds.

      USB A, B, C, Micro, Mini refers to the shape.

        USB 3.0 Gen 1 and 3.1 Gen 1 and 3.2 Gen 1 are 5Gb/s, 3.1 Gen 2 and 3.2 Gen 2 are 10Gb/s and 3.2 Gen 2×2 is 20Gb/s. Then there’s Thunderbolt 3 with 40Gb/s or 10Gb/s.

        USB4 can be 0.5, 10, 20, 40, 80 or 120Gb/s

        Note that it is oficially “USB4” with no space

        I wish they’d stuck to what you’re describing, it’s gone incredibly off the rails since that though

        USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

        But now it’s by speed instead… But there’s USB 3 and USB 4 with 20Gbps speed which are both named USB 20 Gbps…
