[@AlexSchendel]

PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) is a catch-all term meaning you change the amplitude of the signal to carry data. PAM4 (PAM with 4 amplitude levels) is the specific scheme described in this video.

[@AR15ORIGINAL]

how high can PAM go without causing problems? as in, can we have PAM16 or PAM64 no problem? Will my future 240 W USB-C charger also possibly have 80 GB/s signal so that I can power a low power desktop computer while also connecting it to a TV and having it take power from its wall?

[@gustavrsh]

@@AR15ORIGINAL It depends on many factors, the main one being related to noise. You need enough separation between amplitude levels to transfer data reliably, or else noise will induce errors. Errors are expected and can be mitigated by parity bits or better cable construction, but this increases cost.

[@gustavrsh]

@@AR15ORIGINAL also if you want to go above 16 levels you may as well use QAM (WiFi 5 is mainly 256-QAM, WiFi 6 is 1024-QAM)

[@AlexSchendel]

@@AR15ORIGINAL I missed this message! As gustavrsh mentioned, it becomes exceedingly hard to reach higher levels of PAM. It's already hard enough to hit 40Gbps over copper which is why copper TB4/USB4 cables tend to be very limited in length. There is too much resistance over the copper that the switching frequency can't be efficiently increased. With PAM, this becomes a bigger issue because when you used to have, say, a 5V potential difference from a digital 1 and digital 0, now you have four levels for 00, 01, 10, and 11. That means you can only get a potential difference of 1.25V between each level. Your margin for error is significantly diminished, further reducing the potential length a copper cable can reach before there is too much signal integrity lost. There are ways around this, either build more and more advanced copper cables that have shielding and such (like what ethernet continues to do being able to reach 10Gbps over a 100m cable with Cat6A), or adopt optical cables (which is where datacenter networking has gone). There are practical limits to what copper can do and many people believe silicon photonics are the future, where even things like sending data from your CPU to your GPU or RAM will be done over optical cable because it gets harder and harder to promise double the bandwidth every 2-3 years in the same form factor. As gustavrsh also mentioned, QAM is a good technology that can increase bandwidth far beyond the capabilities of PAM. This is done by assigning each value to a phase and amplitude. So for QAM16, you might have 0000 assigned to amplitude 25%, phase 45°. By placing all the values on a grid like this, you can squeeze a lot more values in without needing to increase your error rate so much. However, there is a big catch. Since you're sending phase-shifted signals, this is not used in electrical signaling at all afaik. This is because it is nearly impossible to send data at high bitrates while also being able to pull the voltage to the desired value quickly enough. When placing two phase-shifted values next to each other, you often get discontinuous signals, where one signal ends at, say 75%, while the other starts at 25%. This can be handled by wireless systems easily since they are just transmitting data over the air with no voltage to change over resistive wire. But when running those extremely high frequencies, you'll have already overlapped with the next bit by the time you get done pulling your voltage to the correct value and sending the appropriate data.

@@Ibrahim1999 noise. It’s already hard to tell 1 from 0 in some bad HDMI cables, and every level above that makes it worse and worse.

[@dillangraham1917]

@@Ibrahim1999 I believe it would be related to the accuracy of signalling, because it increases the complexity of the signal by having multiple voltage levels instead of just on/off or positive/negative. More levels means more accuracy required, increasing cost of the hardware required. It introduces problems with signal integrity, because voltage drop and the voltages affecting one another can change the signal. This is why PCIe Gen 4 and especially Gen 5 motherboards and such are more expensive, have more PCB layers, and so on

[@jinkang9474]

although transfer speed will be doubled, the new signaling scheme also means that there will be a performance overhead needed for re-decoding which is not a small depending on the use case specially for high bandwidth applications such as HD video rendering... but a good progress nonetheless since USB is severely bottle-necked compared to CPU and GPU performances... there is also another option to add that function to the USB BUS since it does absolutely almost nothing but bottle-necking high performance usb devices right now... a separate processor for the bus "MIGHT" mean that they could actually go more ham on the USB speeds but further increasing/complicating the signal scheme and let the new dedicated processor do the decoding... but this also means added costs for computers which are horrendously expensive right now

The CPU in itself is made to process a very diverse set of functions but keep in mind that there are processors that are made to do only 1 thing and do that one thing really well. another food for thought, you do know data compression is also still the function of the CPU...

Another way to easily increase the speed is using PCIe Gen 4 (probably they are using this), the way Thunderbolt 3 and USB4 archive 40gpbs is using 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0 giving them around 32gbps (which by the way is the actual amount of speed you could use to transfer data in like an eGPU or everything that uses the PCIe lanes, In fact I'm not sure you can use those 40gbps for storage) so using 4 lanes of PCIe 4.0 would leave them almost all the way there, in fact should be easy to upgrade the USB or Thunderbolt standard to over 100gbps using PCIe 5.0 lanes, I assume they didn't go offering that due to power consumption and cost (reasons why laptops are still beginning to adopt PCIe 4.0, suspiciously good timing to implement "USB 4.1" speeds) probably also the thing that prevents them to bump up the speed following PCIe standard is getting that speed over some distance with a USB-C cable

The flexible up and down streams will come with USB 4 version 2 gen 2

[@cvayta]

Oh, it's not the news thing channel. I was waiting for video card information 😆

[@jmugurr994]

Uh, does it matter that Teamgroups website shows the giveaway as ending July 2022? Was this video a bit late or do they mean 2023? Seems kind of long for a giveaway though.

[@stug77]

Narration said gigabit per second but the graphic displayed gigabyte per second at 0:29.

[@bartoski-ag]

0:25 hey bro gigabits is written Gb

[@raychat2816]

Maybe we’ll get asymmetrical data transfer in USB 4 v2 release 5, third cohort, second gen 1.3H

[@GeorgeU55]

No that'll be in USB 4.3 gen 3x2 version 3 revision 2.1 second release

Honestly the the thing I'm looking forward to is the idea that a laptop can be your primary gaming device and when you get home have 90+ percent of the GPU, keyboard, and mouse ready to go on a single dock cable.

[@SanjayBharadwaj]

Was laughing everytime when you uttered Gen2 :D

[@Ibrahim1999]

well what prevents them from doing an even bigger increase to have it at 8 ( 000 , 001 , all the way to 111) or 16 levels (..), or is it not that easy ?

[@militarymom8837]

You can transmit it but the problem is with the controllers(i think). The controllers need to be able to process the huge amount of signals and is limited by it. As far as I remember there is a modulation called Differential Manchester ( studied in data communications) which have higher data transfer capability. Feel free to correct me if wrong.

[@SiimKuusik]

Okay, but how about the fact that the TeamGroup RAM giveaway ended in July?

[@martin5lipa]

I'm happy to see Pulse-code modulation in normal things now.

I hope the EU, the ones responsible for forcing Apple to implement USB Type-C into future iPhones after 14 (which I'm glad), will pass the USB 4.0 patents (two versions of it from what we knew), and the implementation of USB 4.0 would happen within 5 to 6 years later, enough time for consumers and manufacturers to adapt and fully accept them.
