I must be one of the few who don't see the appeal. From most viewing distances, I cannot discern between individual pixels on my 1080p monitor, and that's when I'm wearing my glasses, contacts, pocket protector, etc.

Thunderbolt 3 will be my only reason to upgrade my RMB.
Holy Schnikes!
mac mini quad core with egpu = 09'-13' mac pro in the dumpster.
You wear glasses and contacts at the same time? Man, that would make...like...everything Retina!
When are the new Xeons coming out?and when are we going to see a Mac Pro update?!?!?
Lets hope includes this new chip.and when are we going to see a Mac Pro update?!?!?
In my opinion these multi-protocol cables are a bad idea. All the consumer know is they have a port that look like X and get upset when they plug something in and it doesn't work. Only to have someone explain to them they have a early 2015 Macbook and they need a late 2015 model to make it work.
But how many 5K monitors...
With faster memory chips in the pipeline and SSD storage costs dropping, plus now with Skylake on the horizon, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an update at the end of this year.and when are we going to see a Mac Pro update?!?!?
The problem isn't with the multi-protocol cable, it's that if you're going to have a multi-protocol cable you have to be sure the device supports all of the protocols. If Apple knew TB was going to run over USB-C connectors, they shouldn't have released the Macbook they did-- I'm not looking forward to the confusion it creates.In my opinion these multi-protocol cables are a bad idea.

Dude... A 256k monitor would fill your entire mind...Dude, 5k is so 2014. 8k LG monitors are what's happening now. And the new 12k coming out in the fall will be rad.
Maybe in 2020, we'll have 256k monitors, you know, to fill your entire wall.

You mean Apple should have held off Mini DisplayPort on any Mac until Thunderbolt became standard using the same port to avoid confusion?The problem isn't with the multi-protocol cable, it's that if you're going to have a multi-protocol cable you have to be sure the device supports all of the protocols.

Graphics resolution isn't driving GPU technology any more, parallel computation is. Things like computer vision, physics simulations, machine learning and real time image and video manipulation are leading the charge. I think resolution is more limited by the communications bus to the displays.With faster memory chips in the pipeline and SSD storage costs dropping, plus now with Skylake on the horizon, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an update at the end of this year.
I wonder when graphics technology is going to plateau. We're at a point now where a dozen CPUs don't have much effect on graphics performance; everything's now pushed to the GPUs. But at some point, an increase in resolution will be irrelevant, since the human eye can perceive only so much. Meanwhile, every leap in GPU architecture raises the bar for software graphics, which then makes current hardware obsolete. I'd come to expect that every few years, but now it's happening every few months.
