    The last image has contradicting information:
    4k/2k iops in the points
    40k/20k iops in the table

    It says that it meets A2 (App Performance Class 2) requirements of 4K/2K.
    The table lists the cards actual random performance.

    Holy crap, what is wrong with the SD association. Why do people need to concern themselves with so many standards, I mean seriously, " microSDHC/SDXC UHS-I CL10 V10 A2 LV" that is ridiculous. Why can't they keep it more simple.

    You make a good point

    The idea is to make manufacturers clutter up the labeling on MicroSD cards so badly that there's no room left for branding. We're almost there!

    Oh wow, I didn't realize that. Let's make even more standards then!

    Because people make mistakes. The whole "Class 10" thing is stupid today, because getting 10 MB/s with an SD card is just terrible. It's still on there, though.
    Meanwhile, we've got a bunch of standards that focus on different things, like sequential speeds for video or random IO for applications. (Frankly, I wish they'd be given dual grades based on 4K random and sequential, and just leave it at that.)

    Sustained sequential performance of 10 MB/s, woohoo!!! /s

    I don't understand why they would use the very slow UHS-I bus when UHS-III was already completed.. Why not use at least UHS-II? So, higher random performance but low capped maximum sequential performance? Business segmentation strategy?

    Higher compatibility.
