USB 3.2 2x2 (20Gbs)?

What’s the bandwidth of the FW 16’s USB 3.2 ports? The 7840HS and 7940HS provide 2 USB 4 (40Gbps) ports and 2 USB 3.2 2x1 (10 Gbps) ports. I presume the additional USB 3.2 ports are from the mobo’s chipset. Are they 2x1 or 2x2 ports? Also, are the ports from the mobo’s chipset the middle or front expansion card slots?

FW should soon be discussing this as part of their deep dive into the design of the FW 16. Keep an eye here for more details.

The additional ports are through a USB 3.1 hub, a GL3590-S, supporting 10 Gbps.
