Oksana | sicelo: For starters, anybody who manufacturers anything with HDMI (port, cable, anything) has to pay fees to HDMI company. | 03:24 |

sixwheeledbeast | I think micro HDMI failure rate is terrible. I agree about trying to use other connectors for licensing reasons, unfortunately it's the standard connector I don't think it will change for now. | 09:06 |
Oksana | sixwheeledbeast: To use a different connector, the nice option is to have CPU and GPU separate from each other. And replace-able GPU, on PCIe card or whatever? | 09:09 |
sixwheeledbeast | I am speaking generally not just mobile. | 09:10 |
Oksana | Yes, I am speaking generally too. Mobile phones are just so tiny that I don't think anybody would ever fit a GPU into a tiny removable card, microSD-size-ish. | 09:11 |
Oksana | Granted, M.2 connector looks promising - for tablets/laptops, at least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 It includes PCI Express, so it can be used for GPU? And it's tiny, tinier than a typical WiFi card in a laptop? | 09:14 |
sixwheeledbeast | It's possible with enough thought however I doubt it would happen. I can only think of one laptop with a modular GPU so odds are slim on phones or tablets. | 09:20 |
