The touted 80gbps one is presumably USB4 Gen4x2x2 (or Gen4x4?), this is presumably USB4 Gen4x3x1 or something.
No, I don't even know. Can we please just call them fucking USB11 and USB12 or something?

This would make USB4 80gbps (the sticker you see on the box) USB4 Gen 4x2, as there are two lanes of the fourth lane type. The 120Gbps one contains three lanes of the fourth lane version, or USB4 Gen 4x3.
There's no need for USB11 and USB12. Look at the 10/20/40/80/120Gbps sticker on the box. That tells you all you need to know.
As I understood it from TFA, 80gbps is realized with 2 lanes down, 2 lanes up; while 120gbps is realized with 3 lanes down, 1 lane up (yes, the opposite direction is capped to 40gbps).
So that's USB4Gen4x2x2 and USB4Gen4x3x1 if we use the current genxlane nomenclature? Who knows.

I can't recall the last time I actually saw a gbps marking on USB cable/device marketing, so no I can't "look at the sticker" because it doesn't exist.
Just give me an unambiguous, whole, unique USB standard revision number for me to compare with my other devices and cables. The current system of superceding and overlapping standard revisions and meaningless genxlane numbers is fucking worthless and a waste of my time and nerves.
