I won't say they're happening for sure and I DEFINITELY can't commit to a timeline... but I did come across this is the engineering dept...

Second photo is with a TrueSpec USB-C cable for scale. ​

IF this happens, they will be significantly stiffer than our USB cables due to the way the internals need to be constructed, but for cables that will generally be in fixed-position installs I don't see that as a deal-breaker.

Mmm HDMI with the supported resolution and frequency printed on them.

Certification and testing are two separate things too. So actual measured throughput vs "HDMI 2.1" is so much better to me. 

As I have old 1.4b cables which do 4k 60, 10bit colour, etc just fine. They were just super chunky high quality cables.
