It seems that 7th gen and later Intel processors can support HDMI 2.0, but only with an external "LSPCON" (Level Shifter and Protocol CONverter) component on the motherboard.

See <https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/graphics/HDR_Intel_Graphics_TechWhitePaper.pdf>

As I've mentioned before, going through DisplayPort also works and does not require a LSPCON.

I love how it mentions future generations won't need it. Unfortunately they mean future generations of the graphics core, not the CPU since as far as I can find, the same problem applies to 8th and 9th gen CPUs since the graphics core design hasn't changed. I wonder if they will skip 2.0 and go to 2.1 when they finally get around to updating that design. -- Len Sorensen
