Intel Tablets with pending Atom z7-8700-soc can do UHD at 60 hz

Intel is working on a model of the recently released Atom z7-8700-soc that will be able to playback video at 3840×2160 pixels with 60Hz, the current model will 'only' do 30 hz.

Video playback possible at extended screen through HDMI 2.0 The pending version of the Atom z7-8700-soc would use a little more power though. the 4-k display playback can be managed by embedded DP on the UHD screen of the product itself and then thus externally through HDMI 2.0. The one caveat, this will only apply to 4-k video in the h.264 format with a 200 to 250 Mbit/sec bitrate (encoded). The h.264-codec with 4K can only do 30 maximum.

30hz? Say goodbye to your eyes

agree but 2 things:

-it's a tablet, and most of the time you just use lower resolution (and so at 60hz),

-right now 95% of the stuff produced are still in 1080 at max

(despite lot of material can do better (yeah a lot are used by us... but can we be considerated as lambda people?))

So 60hz is actual panel refresh rate, not frames per second?
