THUNDERBOLT SOON TO SUPPORT 4K [color=rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:11px]HDMI is the preferred video connection in pretty much any consumer electronics device today but Intel is making its play with the second-generation of the Thunderbolt cable standard.[/color]
Thunderbolt will soon support 4K video
[color=rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:11px]Thunderbolt will soon support 4K video and data transfer up to 20 Gbps (on each of the two channels). The first-generation of Thunderbolt support 10 Gbps, similar to what the current HDMI standard supports.[/color]
[color=rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:11px]Intel did put a lot of emphasis on the video capabilities, which could mean that they are planning to take on HDMI in TVs and boxes. When the industry moves to Ultra HD / 4K we need a new cable standard and Intel knows that. A new HDMI version is also in development.[/color]
