What about 12K res?

So, that means that 8K is "quadruple" 4K and that 16K is "quadruple" 8K? Is this the "new" math that I've heard so much about?

Full HD = 1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600 pixels
4K UHD = 3840 x 2160 = 8,294,400 pixels
8K UHD = 7680 x 4320 = 33,177,600 pixels

Ah, I never think of it in terms of total pixels...just 1080, 2160, 4320, etc.

Then there's "true" 4K, which is 4096 x 2160, to muck it up more....Maybe instead of 4K it should be called 8M for pixel count?...Too many damn numbers.
