The next generation HDMI standard could command a new cable’s length to get the most from the feature set accord to the HDMI Forum .
Ahead of the reveal of the new spec atCES 2025 , a press waiver from the HDMI forum says the new engineering will enable “ higher resoluteness and refresh rates ” than the current HDMI 2.1 standard . It could also boost the bandwidth beyond the current 48Gbps offered byHDMI 2.1 .
“ The young specifications , feature next - gen HDMI applied science and increase bandwidth , will support a wide range of a function of higher resoluteness and refresh rates , enabled by a new HDMI cable system , ” the jam release spied byVideoCardzpurportedly says .
That ties into hearsay that AMD and Nvidia will loose new nontextual matter board that will unlock greater ocular fidelity and refresh rates with the RTX 50 and Radeon RX 8000 ‘ Grim Reaper ’ GPUs .
The fresh standard is reportedly going to be call HDMI 2.2 , accord to study fromDDayand others .
While HDMI 2.1 standard can currently cover 10240 x 4320 ( 10k ) resolutions and 120Hz refresh rates , we might be get more capacity from the newfangled artwork flake , and the raw HDMI banner could brook that . The need for a new cable might be some collateral damage , according to the reports today .
You could get the 10 G resolving from a HDMI 2.1 cable and 120fps at 4 G resolution . It ’s not clear how HDMI 2.2 would increase the electrical capacity on all front .
Given we ’re just a calendar month away from CES 2025 and with pressing releases likely to drop in the first hebdomad of January , we may not be too far from recover out . Indeed , the HDMI forum plan to divulge full plans for the new specification on January 6 .
It does seem thus far that the key benefits of HDMI 2.2 will be in the gambling kingdom , with these next generation GPUs meliorate matters on all fronts for serious microcomputer gamers . That ’s the most exciting thing . A raw cable wo n’t be anything gamers will shout about and it ’s potential to be a long time , if ever , for the relief of us to require to replace cable .
The need for a new transmission line would n’t be all that surprising pass on that , to achieve the full welfare of HDMI 2.1 you also require a more advance connective .
