kek, I can watch 4k videos on my shitty computer. I'm pretty sure I can do integrated graphics and handle 4k video, let alone images.
can the i7 9700k's integrated GPU handle 4k video
Yes, the i7-9700K's integrated UHD Graphics 630 can handle 4K video playback. The processor is designed to support 4K resolution at 60Hz over DP and eDP. While it might not be ideal for intensive video editing or rendering tasks, it can handle basic 4K playback and display.
When did the i7 9700k get released?
October 2018
Almost 7 years old, integrated graphics, can handle 4k video. Meanwhile, jewpple: "Our 2025 tech can't handle 4k images!!!! GIVE MONEY!" This is less of a statement about apple and more of a statement about people, anybody, who still support them, and buy their products.
You didn’t mention the color space, which is most certainly 8bpc SDR at 30Hz.
Silicon Mac computers can totally handle 4K HDR 10/12bit RGB4:4:4 at 120Hz over TB4/5>DP1.4/HDMI2.1. But crApple decided to put limitations in macOS 14.1 Framebuffer.That way they can brag about it when they will unlock it as a marketing argument, exclusively for their next generation (M5).
