Usb 4 will double the speed of usb 3.2

The USB 4 standard has already been officially announced. It is a standard that is based on Thunderbolt 3, so it takes its advantages. Although its speed will undoubtedly be a key point, since it will be able to achieve transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps. So it will double the speed that USB 3.2 has.

In addition, it has been confirmed that with this new standard we will have load powers of up to 100W. While we will have to wait for its market launch, it will not be until 2021.

USB 4 has already been introduced

The fact that USB 4 is going to have these speeds is of great importance, because it assumes that it will reach Thunderbolt 3 in this way. Since the Intel standard has long since reached that speed. Therefore, it is presented as a good alternative in this regard. Although it has already been confirmed that the two will coexist in the market. So the brands will be the ones that make the decision to use one or the other, in each case.

The arrival of USB 4 will take time to arrive as we have already commented. Although this standard is ready, as announced today, we will have to wait until it reaches computers, laptops or peripherals around the world.

It is estimated that from 2021 it will be something common in the market. So the brands have time to work on their incorporation. But we will see if these dates that are currently handled will be met or not.
