HDMI 2.0 spec is complete


HDMI 2.0 spec is complete and can carry signals up to resolutions of 3840 x 2160 at 60fps, which apparently equates to a bandwidth of 18Gbps.

Compared that to HDMI 1.4, which supports up to 3840 x 2160 at 30fps.

HDMI 2.0 will also support up to 32 audio channels.

What this means is that it can handle UHD4K, but not really UHD8K. We'll probably have to wait for HDMI 3.0 for that, but given that content for 8K won't be commonly available in the short run, we have time.
