I wonder for what those speeds are aimed.

Bascially CFa users are SONY cameras... those cap around 500-600MB/s speeds...

For what are those speeds and this shiny epeen claim? For freaking who? PR team using meth again.

Lots of cameras use CFx Sony Nikon Z Canon R etc I'm sure they will appreciate being able to transfer 8k footage faster and with photos your burst speed and length is limited by the card on cameras like the R3.

CFx type A are currently exclusively used by Sony cameras while all other camera makers who have CFx use Type B cards.
