HDMI how much data can be put through them?

[Canada]

How much data can HDMI ultimatly handle I ask becase how much more can they push the bandwith beyond HDMI 2.0 without having to have more pins in the connector. I want at least 12 bit 4:4:4 for 2160p or what is generally called 4K.

HDMI 2.0, which is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the HDMI specifications, significantly increases bandwidth up to 18Gbps and adds key enhancements to support continuing market requirements for enhancing the consumer video and audio experience. New functionality includes:

-4K@50/60, (2160p), which is 4 times the clarity of 1080p/60 video resolution
-Up to 32 audio channels for a multi-dimensional immersive audio experience
-Up to 1536kHz audio sample frequency for the highest audio fidelity
-Simultaneous delivery of dual video streams to multiple users on the same screen
-Simultaneous delivery of multi-stream audio to multiple users (up to 4)
-Support for the wide angle theatrical 21:9 video aspect ratio
-Dynamic synchronization of video and audio streams
-CEC extensions provides expanded command and control of consumer electronics devices through a single control point

HDMI 2.0 does not define new cables or new connectors. Current High Speed cables (Category 2 cables) are capable of carrying the increased bandwidth.

What are the 4K formats supported by HDMI 2.0?

Current HDMI 2.0 spec has a limit of 18Gbit/s, but the cables themselves are capable of more.
I think Monster have one they claim is rated at 27Gbit/s.
In theory it can go way beyond this but the quality and length of the cable will start to come into play at the higher ends of data transfer.
I wouldn't worry about HDMI not being up to the task just yet, might be 8K before they decide on more pins.

Who cares if Monster cables are rated at 27Gbit/s if the HDMI 2.0 spec is 18Gbit/s where does that extra 9 Gbit/s go, I guess it goes toward the extra $ 100 and or more in price.
