Super-High 4096 x 4096 Display From An IGP? The Upcoming Ivy Bridge Can Do It

The new Ivy Bridge processors, due out in about six months, have one apparently overlooked but important feature. No, it's not the greatly increased speed (about double or more of Sandy Bridge) or the advanced feature set. It's actually the super-high resolution capability: specifically 4096 x 4096 pixels. This astonishing capability is far better than any of the top-end discreet graphics cards such as the NVIDIA GTX 590 or AMD HD 6990 via a single monitor port. It's so high in fact, that there's almost no content at that resolution and no monitor that can handle it. This IGP can actually play multiple 4K video streams, too. NVIDIA unsurprisingly, is talking up the gaming possibilites at such a resolution. I'd like to see what kind of monster GPU could handle it. It will be interesting to see what uses this capability gets put to generally - and just how much the whole setup will cost.

also the first slide shows hmmm 4096x2304:wtf: how is that 4096x4096 if ya gonna spout something Intel atleast get the resolutions right in your slides:slap:

The resolution is right. While the chip can output 4096 x 4096, you wouldn't use a square picture, would you? Therefore, they show you the resolution at a standard 16:9 ratio.

Look at the third slide, which shows 4096 x 4096 capability for Ivy Bridge.

FordGT90ConceptI do the same with power, network, and antenna cables. Power is good to know for power cycling and is required to know for plugging into surge or battery. Network because how else are you going to know what goes where without spending half an hour trying to figure it out? Antenna is the same as network. Case in point: if you by a new web camera, you have to unplug the old one so you can remove it. If it is labeled, it only takes so much as looking at the label to figure it out. If it isn't labeled, you have to tug and jiggle cables until you find it. That is a matter of practicality and has nothing to do with DVI screws.
No, no no. I'm talking about having a drawer full of the exact same cable, labelled differently, and pulling out the "correct" one when somebody goes to use it. Labelling things so you know which to unplug makes sense

Actually YES I would if were spouting I could do it which is what Intel are doing in those slides :nutkick:
