4k at 60hz with 4 2 0 colors on HD4600 via HDMI 1.4

Hello, recently i read an article http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-kepler-4k-hdmi-1.4,27117.html http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-kepler-4k-hdmi-1.4,27117.html how nvidia managed to get 4k at 60hz via HDMI 1.4 trick there they cut colors from 4 4 4 to 4 2 0, but since many monitors\tvs can handle 4k at 60hz with 4 2 0 colors even via HDMI 2.0, there no point to get fancy new gpu.

So my question here:

Can Intel make the new driver (just like nvidia did) and support 4k at 60hz with 4 2 0 colors via HDMI 1.4?

I beleive if nvidia could do that, intel can do too, intel's programers no worst than nvidia's ones, right?

And i think it will be like new begining, if laptops with HD graphics could do 4k at 60hz for movies and 2D desktop stuff!

I thank you for this feedback. It would be nice that new drivers would have it to support 4k at 60hz.

I wondering in recent version of drivers are we able to set 4:2:2 Y'CbCr colors? Because this is the whole trick to reach 4k 60hz via 1.4 hdmi, maybe we don't need a new version of drivers?
