Need clarification regarding performance impact

Do you mean that proprietary dock station (like http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...ode=40A20170EU) does not have value compared to universal docking station?

But the algorithm we have use what is available and, like a clown, juggles with CPU bandwidth, USB throughput available, what we must send... transparently.
We have demonstrated quad 4Kp60Hz over a single USB3 link. Nobody else has yet... especially when it works on USB Type A too. Traders can have in excess of 15 displays!

As I'm targeting Core I5 (at least), I don't expect the CPU to be an issue.

I expect to output twice 1920*1200/32@60hz. But I don't exclude going further if one of the monitor eventually dies.
