It can't be copper, otherwise we will be limited to something like 1 foot of cable. I'm going to say hybrid to maintain compatibility with older devices. Or they may just say fuck it, and segregate the old and the new for the sake of moving technology forward. I'm actually going to say the latter, also given that they're calling it 2.0 instead of 1.5.Yeah, it's going to be a bit before we can buy monitors that use this. And will this be over copper or optical? That a lot of bandwidth to send over a long metal cable.

40G is the max over normal length cables (not counting exotic active cables that don't exist yet). Practically speaking this is a 50% speed bump over DP1.3. Still need compression for 8K, just like HDMI 2.1.
Even at 60 Hz, 8K SDR is still too much at 44.5 Gbps.No, you can use the same Thunderbolt 3 active cable tech, they just have to adjust the directions (it's not very hard to do this.)
Yes, you still need DSC or active cable for 8k at > 60hz , it was pretty clear, but that's not exactly common display resolution.
You can hit the following resolutions on the new 38Gbps passive cable, without DSC:
4k 144Hz, HDR10
5k 85 Hz, HDR10.
I believe Apple's 6k monitor might work at 60hz HDR without DSC, but it's cuttting it close.
Looking at that graph makes me want to puke, it's about the past more than the future. Tech is supposed to go up exponentially but until this generation, they were just going up linearly, no wonder we have been so slow to progress.
We went though several years of video standard rollback when marketing convinced CEOs that 1300x768 was good enough to sell things even though that was a lot lower standard then was available at the time. Kinda hard to justify a high bandwidth video cable standard when you are pushing out low def crap as top line stuff. Once 4k became a thing then then older standards were no longer good enough. Now that folks are talking 8k +, video cables standards have to start climbing again.
talk about future proofing . that cable must be THICC
