HDMI v2.2 is launched, same connector but will need an updated cable
Quote:
Though the HDMI Forum is officially calling the new specification HDMI 2.2, the accompanying cable will also receive a new name: Ultra96. All told, the selling point of both the Ultra96 cable and HDMI 2.2 specification are the increased bandwidth, which doubles the HDMI 2.1 bandwidth from 48Gbps to a staggering 96Gbps.

Even after the specification is released, however, it will take some time for both cables and logic to support the new standard. Remember, HDMI 2.1 supports uncompressed single-display resolution of 8K at 60Hz with 8-bit color depth at 4:2:0 chroma, and the same cables support compression at 10K120 resolution at 12-bit color depths. For most users, HDMI 2.1 is already too much. You will need an upgraded cable if your PC or TV supports the new HDMI 2.2 specification and you want to enjoy its full capabilities.
