ProGrade Digital, Inc., founded with a mission to provide the highest quality professional grade digital memory cards and workflow solutions, announces the 3rd generation of its CFexpress Type B Cobalt-class memory card in a new 1.3 TB capacity. This new generation features the same industry-leading quality of ProGrade current 2nd generation 325 GB and 650 GB capacity cards, but now leverages PCIe Gen 4 interconnect with NVMe 1.4c host controller interface.

Well, someone had to be first. iirc, there are no cameras that support gen4 at this moment. I doubt we will see any before H2 2024.

Chicken/egg.
This makes sense for high-end video gear though.

Next gen flagships from Canon and Nikon will support it come olympics next year.
Im not sure at all. Camera designs usually take years. I'd be surprised if we see Sony (on CFX-A), Canon ( be it EOS R1 or whatever) or Nikon (Z9 replacement? cya in 2026) will have gen4 supporting chipset before the calendar shows 2025

I'm putting a fair reminder camera USB Type-C standards are still often 10Gbps and often only just 5Gbps on brand new models. This market moves very slow with standards

These camera makers are part of CFA and they would have known about developments of these standard before hand and would have contributed to the development as well. Nikon Z9 was released in 2021 and July 2024 is around 2.5 years and given both Nikon and Canon have had their release cycles(for flagship sports cameras) synced with Summer Olympics wont be surprised if Nikon were to make an development announcement for Z9 replacement with professionals getting prototypes to test on sidelines of Olympics.

USB-C is a mess, entry level cameras support 2.0 speeds while some prosumer models are still stuck at 5Gbps while 10Gbps is quite rare.

This^.

Camera makers are notoriously bad at supporting latest standards. The SoC is often locked down more than a year before release, so even Canon R1 would miss out if it is actually a 2024 release.
