> USB 3.1 Gen 1 is the straight rebranding of USB 3.0
Why? To solve what exactly? In a sane world, it'd be major.minor, with nothing appended at the end.
Allowing marketers to take over everything was such a terrible mistake.
At this point I myself just don't differentiate USB versions beyond 3.0. 2.0 is the slow one, 3.0 is the fast one, anything newer is "so fast I won't ever saturate this much bandwidth anyway". Thunderbolt also falls into the last category.
