      @@anj000 That's a different kind of confused. You're talking about customers who _are_ confused, but think they're not. However, if you market something that customers don't understand, they won't buy it. They'll go buy something more dumbed down from the competitor instead.

    • @Jamie-tx7pn
      @Jamie-tx7pn 4 года назад +1

      @@Gilmaris More likely is that they just buy them all if they're confused between many. More money = less thinking; I'll figure it out later. The entire goal of marketing is to sale things and companies take that shit VERY SERIOUSLY. (It's literally their goal, you know. To sell you things.) They would notice VERY QUICKLY if a marketing strategy wasn't working out and they would VERY QUICKLY go back to the drawing board.
      I wouldn't say this is ALL companies but it might generally be a good rule of thumb that if it's a multi-million dollar corporation (not sure what USB is but seeing as they're everywhere, it might be the case), they're either supremely lucky or know what they're doing. (Most likely both.)

      I would just prefer the naming like in the comment from Thu Ya Win. Maybe write the max transfer speed behind on product pages. Would be much more interesting than the lane configuration.

    I work at a major tech store. And this drives me crazy, because I know the differences between these. And like you say the consumers don't care as long as it works and says 3.0 or is BLUE. Even though many new laptops still come with at least 1 USB 2.0, and 1or2 3.0 ports BUT they've stopped coloring 3.0 ports blue for some godforsaken reason, and don't even identify them.
    But it's the WORST when I get a customer that knows what cord they need, high powered and data USB 3+ or type c, and I take forever to find it because they only put 3orC on the package, and I have to go to the manufacturer website to find the correct specs. THEN my manager just hands them the cheapest cord and tells them "Sure, it'll work with anything!" Because that's what we're all led to believe... Then it doesn't work good enough and they return it %50 of the time or live with a lower speed C cable without even knowing there's a difference between every damn cable...

I guess it is their way to distinguish between their television/internet services and other services or media they provide. Anyhow, I still remember pulling into a customers driveway with my new van and them saying "I am so glad to see Xfinity here, I hate Comcast and if they sent them out I would have asked you to leave" - I just chuckled and went about getting their service sorted out.

      That is why your everyday consumers are definitely going to be the stupidest ones.
      Now by the consumer's point of view they know that their computer supports USB 3 but if they want to purchase any device online and the detail specification says USB 4 then they would not buy that product.
      I hope now you get my point. Always remember that you are living in the world of stupids so think like a stupid.

    The REAL problem with post-launch renaming of products comes when you need support.
    What search term do you use? Because in the earlier support topics and forums they will call things by the former name. And in recent forums they will sometimes use the new name, or sometimes the old name, or even worse, use the 2 mixed together...
    And the official channels will call them by their marketing name, while pretending they don’t know the real spec’s name.
    How is anyone going to find relevant topics? “I’m looking for driver for my usb 3.1 device.” -Ok but which 3.1 do you mean the first one or the renamed one? “Idk it just says USB 3 superspeed”

    • @janjohansson2567
      @janjohansson2567 5 лет назад +1

      SuperSpeed (without 10gpbs at the end) means the device is usb 3.0 = 3.1 gen 1 = 3.2 gen 1x1. Saying "3.1" without the gen is leaving out crucial information.

Problem with just renaming things on a whim is that topic that might be relevant to an issue might be dismissed because the product is renamed differently. Most people who see to things renamed differently are going to assume that they are two different things.

Really, what's the obsession with thinness? I've never heard anyone say, "This phone is too thick!" But I have heard, "Why can't I get through a day without having to charge my phone twice?" Then there are the battery-saving tips, which are basically two things: (1) Dim the display, and (2) turn off all the cool features we told you about in our ads. Sheesh.

      @@pangkan270 there's no major difference in USB 3.0 and 3.1, more of a protocol thing and not a physical thing like usb2 vs usb3. The USB 3.2 gen 2x2, on the other hand, could have been USB 4 or USB 3.3. They could reserve USB4 for a purely Type-C spec. Or imo just append a 'C' in the name if it's a type C like USB 3.3C so you could get cables like usb3.1 to usb3.1C for connecting your desktop PC to your external drive or phone. This for me is better because the performance of a type C cable also depends on the cable's spec (usb3, 3.1, 3.2) and not just because its type C. Likewise, cables could be called USB2C cables so people dont mistakenly buy a usb2 type c cable.
      Tldr USB4 is better for a port or protocol that is majorly different enough -- e.g. type C or a new orange 15-lane TYPE A Port.

      Or they could start learn the basics of numbers again to not confuse the hell out of people rather than giving the different versions random names since the speed is the only thing that matters, and was originally the definition of the USB (x) number. The only physical difference between earlier versions and 3 is the 5 extra pins.
      That with the (x).0 , (x).1 , (x).2 and gen v's add-on number is more a marketing thing to make it look better that I find silly and dumb when they can change the first number instead (if the same plug can be used on all versions).
      If the USB 3.2 with 2 lanes can't work with 1, it should be called UPB (for Universial Parallel Bus) instead and have a complete new socket and plug design since the Serial in (Universial Serial Bus = USB) means 1 single lane that transfers 1 bit per clock cycle (more failure proof but slower and depends ONLY on the clock speed), and Parallel transfers several bits on individual lanes per cycle (less failure proof but much faster and depends on booth the number of lanes and the clock speed).
      That would be more correct to call it.

    This seems like a scam to allow companies to rebrand their old products to seem new again to drive new sales. Old USB flash drive specs have literally been updated to say supports USB 3.2 and 99.9% of customers probably assume it is a new product. If they already own the 3.0 version they might be unknowingly purchasing an identical product to replace it and completely wasting their money.
    The best approach now is just to ignore the USB X.X number and look only at Gen number.
    I eagerly await USB 3.3 to see if they go with Gen 2x2x2, Gen 8 or Gen 2³. Maybe Gen 3 and from now on the Gen number will denote the power of two.
    Or lets deepen the rabbit hole and make it Gen 2x2 Gen 2, with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 becoming USB 3.3 Gen 2x2 Gen 1

      no, since the data lines are STILL serial. Parallel means that each bit of a single byte travels parallel in 1 burst, so bit 1, 2, 3 and 4 for example would move at the exact same time each on their own cable as a group 'message', serial means the bits all move individually in a cue and get reassembled at the other end into bytes. Two parallel data lines just means twice of that, the bits being sent on each line have no direct byte relation to each other.
