Where is it then? nowhere has an eta for it.
Soldato
Any updates mate?
YouTube 4k @ 60fps is bouncing off 100%. 4k at 24fps is averaging around 50%.
Soldato
Something aint right mate, you have the latest driver?
Soldato
Well can only assume it's not supported at driver level yet as one of the big features is VP9 decoding.

Aaaand now I'm getting worried. Going to install my g4560 tonight so will report back with my findings soon hopefully
edit: Just thought I don't even have a 4k output to test, if I select 4k on youtube and run through my 1080p monitor, will it still tax the processor similarly as to if it was outputting onto a 4k screen?

Strange with it being out weeks already. You should be seeing 10-20 usage going by kaby laptop reviews, hopefully it's supported soon.
Soldato
Yes it will. And you get better image quality running 4K content even at 1080p.
I've just been chatting with Intel support. It seems that driver I was using was .4534, which is not the latest. However, the latest driver, .4554, says my PC does not meet the min requirements.
After discussing this with support, they don't know why that is and the best they can do is refer it to the driver team for fixing in the next driver update. It's also pretty safe to assume that .4534 does not support new Kabylake features.

Well the latest beta has HD620 support, full support for the media encoding I don't know. But no support for HD610 it seems. Doh.

That's what I was trying, I tried that and the previous version and neither of them let me install. I asked the guy about that and says it was probably a typo, but it seems a bit odd that it's not listed there and I can't install the drivers as well.
I guess someone else needs to try and see what happens.

Yeah looks like the clowns have not updated the drivers for HD610 support.
Soldato
Yeah perfect HTPC gear when they get the drivers sorted. I aint buying until I get some reports on how well it handles 4k video.
