" rel="nofollow - @Prodif, maybe english fail? not sure what you are saying. @OP, I opened up a bunch of manuals for Asrock AM4 motherboards. It seems the HDMI version used across all 300-series boards is 1.4, as manual states "Supports HDMI with max. resolution up to 4K x 2K (4096x2160) @ 24Hz / (3840x2160) @ 30Hz" which is inline with HDMI 1.4 limitations. HDMI 2.0 would allow those resolutions at 60Hz. It remains to be seen if the asrock line of 400 series AMD chipset motherboards use HDMI 2.0.

Check-mate!  The supported standard is not specified in the manual. The stated max resolution however, suggests the HDMI is v1.2 ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

I currently have one of the asrock apollo lake boards and the whole display port to hdmi 2.0 converter has been a nightmare. |

It's sometimes really hard for me to understand your English, no offense.  Please try https://www.babelfish.com/ if you're relying on machine translations. ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

Not sure why you guys are trying to one-up me, but I can play that game. I opened the manual that was quoted. Here is the line pertaining to HDMI Then here is a table of HDMI limitations for each version, directly from wikipedia  So I maintain, current HDMI version, as described from manuals, is 1.4. HDMI 1.2 would only be able to support, at the max, 2560x1440 @ 30Hz, which is not 4K (or UHD) and better known as "2K" or QHD.

Only unintentionally! Thanks for the info, though. I was sleepy when writing my previous post. Editing it now would make it worse. ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

ya but that has nothing to do with motherboard... 400 chipset is basicaly same as 300, just it will get pcie 3.0 lanes as it doesnt have any gpu, hdmi wont change gpu and its supported resolution is inside CPU and currently radeon r7 junk support high speed hdmi transfers. so no mobo change needed for hdmi 2.0 on upcomminng cpus feel free to google "high speed hdmi cable" on google as mobo has pretty much integrated hdmi cable from cpu to hdmi port |

| Contacted asrock and they said that they currently only have one board that supports HDMI 2.0 but it is for intel. The Z370 Gaming ITX He was not willing to tell me if any new boards would be released with HDMI 2.0 for the upcoming Raven Ridge processors. |

Debunked! There is no HDMI 2.0 certification for the AM4 boards themselves, but HDMI 2.0 appears to work flawlessly for Raven Ridge APUs. Just like HDMI 1.4 cables will very often pass HDMI 2.0 signals without any issue whatsoever, the same appears to be the case here as well. The fact of the matter is ASRock does not want to formally test and pay for HDMI 2.0 certification on older, soon-to-be last generation products. https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/raven-ridge-hdmi-2-0-compatible-motherboard-test-request-megathread.6709/" rel="nofollow - https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/raven-ridge-hdmi-2-0-compatible-motherboard-test-request-megathread.6709/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/7xd636/raven_ridge_hdmi_20_test_request/du7cgy7/" rel="nofollow - https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/7xd636/raven_ridge_hdmi_20_test_request/du7cgy7/ |

thanks for those links... I'm thinking of buying a i3-8100 or 2200G. If the 2200G offers native HDMI 2.. Intel can go to h... ! ------------- http://cellarcinema.info |
