HDMI cables! To many of you, they're just a means to hook up your PS5 to most TVs from the past fifteen years. For others, they're an exciting blend of copper and high-density plastic that makes it possible to enjoy new games in 4K and beyond. You'd think, based on those latter benefits alone, that I'd be hyped about HDMI 2.2 ushering in new 16K abilities, but that's not remotely the case.
Outlined by the HDMI Forum, an organization consisting of over 80 members from across the tech space, HDMI 2.2 is set to feature a significantly higher 96Gbps bandwidth than the current 2.1 standard. It'll also come armed with Fixed Rate Link tech that'll help provide more stable synchronization.
