Anyone know if the Mythlogic 1614 Dia (Clevo P65XSX) uses the Sharp IGZO screen for 4K? Is there any seller for US for this particular model?

Really looking forward to:

i7-4870HQ/i7-4980HQ

GTX 980M

3 or 4K display with at least 70% matte.

MythLogic says they are offering a glossy IPS for their 4K. Rumor on another board is that it's the Sharp IGZO. There are various ways to get matte, including aftermarket screen covers.

On PC motherboards PCIe slots are remote from the processor up to 15-25 centimeters (10") and works perfectly. Clevo certainly gave to cope with this problem.

The problem here is that you think Ethernet is like anything else, that there is no difference in signaling between an I/O Interconnect (PCIe) and a system interconnect (HT or QPI) and countless, endless, other assumptions. You should have never went there, because you are blowing past major, major differences in interfaes.

Unnecessarily I got into a polemic regarding the use of fiber optics on the motherboard. This is not the topic of this thread. I have no desire to read more of your wisdom about it.

Then don't go there in the first place. Your whole premise was that manufacturers could solve the real issues of EMF/EMI on PCBs by just adding a little optical. Anyone with even a little bit of layout, PCB let alone IC design, would immediately point out that the assumption of turning electrical traces into optical is easy and without issue.

The world uses optical almost entirely for 2-bit, asynchronous I/O communication that has a stack that is far, far removed from the wide, near instantaneous system interconnect between memory, CPU and GPU. The few applications that are otherwise are military, and largely for larger interconnect of systems where EMF/EMI issues result in catastrophic failures.

Since two server motherboards could be connected by QPI, PCIe or Ethernet using optical fiber, rather you can do the same way to connect GPU and CPU.

I have never seen an optical Intel QPI solution, or AMD HTX for that matter. Again, I think you're confusing a lot of things here, and optical system interconnect requires some major changes ... far from commodity. Furthermore, there is still the issue of going from CPU pin-out through a PCB and back out an optical transceiver. So you're going to get noise regardless, at both ends.

As far as Ethernet, ah, no. We don't use Ethernet for things like this, let alone Infiniband came about for a reason. In fact, at most, Infiniband is more where one is going to find this. And it has more limitations. A general, optical system interconnect is very unlikely. You're not going to get the width required in the bus. It's not a viable solution for reducing EMF/EMI in the system interconnect.

Again, you're really reading into a lot of things, without understanding the problem.

This is not technological or economical challenge, for military use only.

Really? So Intel is producing a new optical socket? A new optical interconnect, right from the chip?

Again, Infiniband has been used here. But not to solve local PCB EMF/EMI issues. It's non-commodity to produce a true optical system interconnect with optical interfaces to processors and components.

A distance (long traces) is a problem (capacitance and resistance) for CPU-GPU line/bypass only

Define "line/bypass"? I'm trying to figure out where you're going with this.

but may have You heard something about the optoelectronics and optical fibers?

Huh? Where is this being used other than in very, very expensive military applications where EMI tolerance outside the system is the major reason?

I'm purposely trying not to entertain this ... "tangent."
