Don't call it USB 4.0. Here in Las Vegas, the USB 3.0
Promoter Group announced the development of a Super-Speed USB (that's USB 3.0,
if you're curious) enhancement that will "add a much higher data rate,
delivering up to twice the data through-put performance of existing Super-Speed
USB over enhanced, fully backward compatible USB connectors and cables."
This supplement to the USB 3.0 specification is anticipated to be completed by
the middle of this year, bringing along a new 10Gbps data rate, improved data encoding
for more efficient data transfer, and of course, compatibility with existing
5Gbps hubs and devices (and even USB 2.0 products). We've yet to hear of any
device makers trotting out new gear that'll handle the new spec, but hopefully
we'll hear more at CES really gets rolling.
