On Vesa site. After payment, ofcourse. Failing that, on some Russian or Chinese site, after a while.

Wonderful, a new spec that no one will support, and more new cables to buy that look like every other cable and stop working forever after you unplug it more than twice.

"a 1536 kHz sample rate"
most useful feature ever

I didn't read the specs but please tell me that:
1) It will support two 5K@60fps monitor
2) It will be supported by Intel in their next chipset (almost impossibile considering they still don't support 1.3)

1) Only with lossy compression, your monitor has to support too. Or you can use two independent Display Ports if your GPU supports it.
2) If you are lucky in the Cannonlake generation would be my guess.

Good. Now when Pascal and Polaris are released, I can bitch about the lack of DP 1.4 support. Bring it on
