What is the difference between chipset usb and cpu usb? Are they just regular ports but attached to different components to creat another bus?

All USB comes from a chipset. But do you mean 3rd party vs CPU chipset? 

 

The USB coming from the CPU chipset will be slightly better then an 3rd party one.

I'm looking at gigabyte mobos and I see CPU and chipset under USB. Some have the asmedia chip, but that's labeled as asmedia.

Link? cuz most i see say either Chipset or Chipset+ASMedia

 

Scrap that :D I see that Ryzen has USB 3.1 gen directly controlled by the CPU. Been looking at Intel chipsets for way too long :P

Seeing as the chipset link is PCIE 3.0 4x (3.94 GB/s) the USB 3.1 gen 1 (USB 3.0 in a C connector) at 0.625GB/s wont even touch that. Plus the chipset has 3.1 gen 2 (1,25GB/s).

 

Bit stumped as why they would include 3.1 gen 1 on the CPU but not 3.1 gen2?

Would the controllers being separate create 2 different buses? So say I were to have a large amount of data transfered through one controller, the other would still be open and it's bus still open for it's own large amounts of data?
