8k? Full support for 4k@60Hz@4:4:4@10 bit with HDR is the big plus over the normal 2.1 Yes, you can't game with current standards with all these settings. Enabling 4:4:4 isn't possible at the same time as 10 bit with 4k@60Hz.
Any statement or comment by Xilinx about how long the cabling can be and still fulfill HDMI 2.1 requirements? If this only works with cables 10 inches or shorter, it won't be of much use.
Variable refresh rate and eARC are two features that should be able to be retrofitted into existing HDMI 2.0 sink that connect to Xilinix FPGA if they were over-committed in terms of resources. Most designs have gone to hard IP for HDMI 2.0 but it would be nice to see a few designs get some small HDMI 2.1 features added in firmware updates.

It should be noted that HDMI 2.1 is 12 Gigabit/s per pair and there are four differential pairs used for data.Magnus101 - Sunday, February 10, 2019 - link

> you can't game with current standards with all these settingsHuh? I've been gaming at 10-bit 4k 98Hz 4:4:4 HDR for months on the Asus PG27UQ.
