 This fact immediately fueled rumors about the imminent launch of the iMac and Thunderbolt Display with corresponding approval already from Apple. In these assumptions, there are exactly two controversial moment. This low bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2a standard and sometimes the lack of graphics performance. Today it is known that at least one of the obstacles to the long-awaited Retina iMac and similar Thunderbolt Display overcome. 

Today has been approved and published specifications DisplayPort 1.3 - the logical development of the interface. Throughput increased by 50% to 32.4 Gb / s or 25.92 Gb / s, when it comes to video without compression. It was for him and developed a new version of DisplayPort. 

Translating into more understandable language, DisplayPort 1.3 now provides the necessary parameters for output image resolution of 5120 x 2880 or 5K, to which did not reach the previous generation interface. In this video without compression in this resolution will be transmitted using a single cable.

Thus, iMac and Thunderbolt Display with a display Retina, if they are present in the plans of Apple, can now be used to display an image with a resolution of 5K. Case for Apple and the introduction of the scheme in the DisplayPort 1.3 and Thunderbolt the next generation of poppies, which can quickly and easily output video with a resolution of 5K.
