  1. I have just built a Core i3-based system and am curious about whether it will support 3d Blu-ray playback. I have read some information from Intel that seems to indicate the i-series CPUs with integrated GPU will be able to handle it, but it didn't seem conclusive. Does anyone know whether the i3 will handle playback through its integrated GPU?
  2. I want to purchase a new AV receiver, but it seems like all existing receivers will probably choke on a 3d HDMI signal and I'll need to wait for some that have HDMI 1.4 support, is that true?

  1. I guess the only way to know for sure is to wait until someone has tried it, but from all the articles I've read it should work fine. (short & sweet article link: http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/18829/35/)

  2. For full 1080p in 3D HDMI 1.4 is required. My understanding is that the older specs don't support the bandwidth required for 3D. That said, the PS3 is rumored to be firmware updatable to 3D blu-ray, but it probably will need a lower resolution. Whether that would work with an older receiver is anyone's guess until it gets released.
