Dear Karim,
thanks for raising that point...
At first I thought that the i3 "T" edition was somehow limited in the graphics output, to make people buy the i7 - but no, if I look at some mainstream i7 CoffeeLake CPU, the set of outputs is the exact same spec: the CPU can produce 4k at 24 Hz only on the HDMI output (TMDS framing), but can produce 4k at 60 Hz in the DisplayPort format. To me this is slightly funny, because the "universal digital display" outputs can do either DP or TMDS on the same port (the format is configurable in software).
You need Intel "Icelake" CPU for 4K@60 support.. because that capability is only in the Intel Gen11 graphics, which will debut in Icelake CPUs. And Icelake is not out yet..
(and yes, Cannonlake/Icelake CPUs are some 4 years (or so) late at this point.. so the newer gfx capabilities were supposed to be launched already ages ago, but got delayed due to Intel "10nm process problems"..)
