iMac with Retina 5K displayは専用にデザインされたTCONと2つのDisplayPort 1.2で5K@60Hzを実現しているのではないかという噂です。詳細は以下から。
スペシャルイベントでのKeynoteでSVPのPhil Schillerは「4倍の帯域幅を持ったAppleのカスタムデザイン TCON(Timing Controller)」とiMac with Retina 5K displayのタイミングコントローラを説明していましたが、これは2つのDisplayPort 1.2で5K@60Hzを実現するために設計されたのではないかという話題が上がっています。
To tell all those pixels what to do and when, Apple needed to develop a new type of timing controller, or “TCON.” The chip used in non-Retina iMacs simply wouldn’t have been able to keep up. Apple’s new TCON has an effective bandwidth of 40Gbps, which
provides enough power to keep all 14.7 million pixels in the display running smoothly.
One of the major questions regarding Apple’s 5K display is whether or not it would be a 30Hz or 60Hz panel. We’ve had an opportunity to see some demonstrations of gaming on the 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display and can confirm that it’s a 30Hz panel
when operating in 5K mode. Below 5K, the panel shifts to 60Hz, though we couldn’t confirm exactly when the 60/30 shift occurs. It’s a 60Hz panel up to at least 2560×1440.
If this panel indeed uses an overclocked DisplayPort 1.2 signal, as we discuss below, it could be 60Hz up to 4K (3840×2160). DisplayPort 1.2 is capable of providing an SST link of 60Hz at that resolution. It’s still a beautiful display regardless,
and many may argue (with justification) that the 30Hz limit is inconsequential because the GPU inside the system — a fairly weak mobile AMD GPU — can’t drive gaming above 30 fps at 5K anyway.
ちなみに、5K@60Hzなら24bitカラーで
5120 x 2880 [pix] x 24 [bpp] x 60 [Hz] = 21,323,664,000 [bps] ~ 21.3[Gbps]

タイトルがおかしいですよ
「iMac with Retina 5K displayのはDisplayPort 1.2 x2と専用に設計されたTCONで5Kでもリフレッシュレート60Hzを実現している?」
