Was "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" not the name of SuperSpeed 20Gbps before USB 4 got released?



No, "SuperSpeed 20 Gbps" has been the official nomenclature since day 1. From USB 3.2 language use guidelines

• USB 3.2 Gen 1

o Product capability: product signals at 5Gbps

o Marketing name: SuperSpeed USB

• USB 3.2 Gen 2

o Product capability: product signals at 10Gbps

o Marketing name: SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps

• USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

o Product capability: product signals at 20Gbps

o Marketing name: SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps

To avoid consumer confusion, USB-IF’s recommended nomenclature for consumers is “SuperSpeed USB” for 5Gbps products, “SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps” for 10Gbps products and “SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps” for 20Gbps products.
