Using USB 3.0 to speed up transfer between USB 2.0 devices?

I know USB 2.0 maxes out at 480Mbps, and USB 3.0 maxes out at 4800Mbps. Can multiple USB 2.0 devices tap into that USB 3.0 bandwidth? For example, if I have a USB 2.0 device that can use 480Mbps and I hook up 10 of them to a USB 3.0 controller, will each USB 2.0 device max out at 480Mbps or 48Mbps.

No it is not going to work in that way. when you plug a usb2.0 device to usb3.0 port of your computer, the computer uses usb2.0 specifications (drivers) i.e 480mbps.

They would still max out at USB 2.0 because the computer detects the device is USB 2.0 and treats it as such.
