1
00:00:00,079 --> 00:00:06,359
no not again are you telling me that

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:11,280
there's now a second version of usb4 which already carried over the super

3
00:00:08,099 --> 00:00:13,080
confusing naming scheme from USB 3.

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,800
well I guess here's another tech Wiki where we explain why it's not just

5
00:00:15,059 --> 00:00:24,539
called usb5 or SD USB 4.1 or something so what do you

6
00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:30,779
need to know unsurprisingly it's fast like really fast usb4 version 2.0 tops

7
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:37,079
out at a whopping 80 gigabits per second twice as fast as the existing USB 4 gen

8
00:00:33,899 --> 00:00:39,480
3x2 and yes I'm getting a headache just

9
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:45,420
saying that that works out to just under 10 gigabytes per second so it's actually

10
00:00:42,059 --> 00:00:47,640
faster than that PCI Express 4.0 X4

11
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:51,719
connection the nice SSD inside your computer is probably using and that's

12
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:55,739
wild because the USB implementers form hasn't yet published the full

13
00:00:53,340 --> 00:01:00,120
specification there aren't many details at this time as to how they pulled off

14
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:04,260
this speed increase other than a vague statement about a new physical layer

15
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:08,220
architecture but we did find out from our friends over at Cal digit that the

16
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:14,100
main way they did this was by switching over to a signaling scheme called Pam no

17
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:17,700
not the cooking spray Pam basically means that instead of two possible

18
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:23,220
digital signaling levels to represent a 0 or A1 there are four signaling levels

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,320
that can represent zero zero zero one one zero or one one so you're moving

20
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:33,299
twice as much data at the same time there still will be dedicated active 80

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:38,280
gigabit rated cables which USB if confirmed are aimed at folks who need to

22
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:42,840
have longer cable runs but to reiterate you do not need a new cable to get the

23
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:47,220
higher speed over shorter distances pretty good this is great news for folks

24
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,399
that need to move lots of data around quickly although this might make you

25
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:54,479
think of people that shoot lots of high-res video the use cases potentially

26
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:59,340
include everything from multi-function docs to external GPU enclosures to high

27
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:04,799
performance displays it's no coincidence that USB 4 version 2

28
00:02:01,939 --> 00:02:08,160
has the same maximum bandwidth as the latest version of DisplayPort 80

29
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:13,920
gigabits per second is enough to drive three 4K screens at 90 frames per second

30
00:02:10,979 --> 00:02:18,540
with HDR support So as displays that offer High resolutions and HDR become

31
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:22,440
more common along with scent and games that can take advantage of them this

32
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:28,260
latest USB revision could get us closer to a one cable for everything future

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:32,340
instead of having to use separate HDMI and DisplayPort connectors and even more

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,739
impressive is that instead of running USB 4 V2

35
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:44,879
in the default mode which provides 80 gigabits upstream and 80 Downstream you

36
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:46,920
can instead run 120 down and 40 up which

37
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,180
could allow even higher resolutions and refresh rates but this isn't yet an

38
00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:56,160
official part of the spec so it remains to be seen how widespread support for it

39
00:02:53,340 --> 00:03:02,220
will actually be and not only does usb4 version 2 carry DisplayPort 2.0 signals

40
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,540
it also continues to support PCI Express and Thunderbolt that's how it can

41
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:10,319
support an external GPU but how soon will it actually be available we'll tell

42
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:14,159
you right after we thank team group for sponsoring this video team group is

43
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,340
currently giving away an exclusive set of their 32 Gigabyte Delta RGB 64

44
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:22,920
megahertz ddr5 RAM sounds tasty it has

45
00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:27,599
support for Intel's XMP 3.0 for Ultra fast speeds in a single click and it

46
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:31,440
features 120 degrees of ultra wide RGB lighting with a clean geometric

47
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,940
silhouette team group will also be releasing a new Gen 5 SSD and an all new

48
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:42,120
AIO that liquid cooler that will cool your CPU and your m.2 SSD at

49
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:47,280
learn more about the giveaway and their Delta RGB ddr5 RAM at the link below

50
00:03:44,819 --> 00:03:51,599
it's not exactly a big secret that the theoretical maximums of USB and other

51
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:56,340
high-speed interconnects have so far outpaced how the vast majority of people

52
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:59,760
use them keyboards and mice require very little bandwidth flash drives often

53
00:03:58,379 --> 00:04:03,299
aren't used for much more than a few photos and documents and most of us

54
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,319
these days only use the USB ports on phones for charging given this it

55
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:11,400
shouldn't be surprising that the USB promoter group has come out and said

56
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:15,659
that the update is being released mostly for the benefit of developers at the

57
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:20,220
moment even if it does seem useful to run several high bandwidth devices off a

58
00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:25,020
single port it's hard to find mainstream laptops that even have any usb4 version

59
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,860
1 ports as you mostly have to look at the higher end of the laptop Market if

60
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:34,020
you want to be on the bleeding edge so usb4 V2

61
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,440
won't exactly be consumer ready for the holiday season and there isn't yet a

62
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:42,120
timetable for when you'll be able to Fork over a ton of money for a computer

63
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:46,680
and or a display that actually supports it think of this more as a small step

64
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:51,300
towards a more simple future without a boatload of connectors though there are

65
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:57,440
absolutely no signs that the usbif is interested in a future where the names

66
00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:57,440
of our USB connectors are equally simple

67
00:04:57,540 --> 00:05:03,780
you know what is simple though me thanking you for watching this video hey
