This October Intel will be providing a driver update for Ivy Bridge that will enable 4K x 2K resolution support as well as hardware accelerated 4K video decode. You'll need to use two DP outputs to drive a 4K panel from an Ivy Bridge system, which unfortunately makes it so most existing Ivy Bridge systems won't be able to drive the higher resolution panels.
Haswell will support driving a 4K display off of a single DP output or HDMI.

Likely it'd come with a discrete card to drive a display of that resolution. As an all in one desktop, there wouldn't be the need to actively use Intel's integrated graphics internally. The integrated graphics can be used to help drive external displays though.Impulses - Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - link
I doubt they'd go all in on a 4k display for an all in one... It'd be the most expensive all-in-one on the market and a very niche product (anyone that actually wants a 4k display would probably want more GPU/CPU behind it, not to mention upgrade options).softdrinkviking - Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - link
Cool! Anand, any details on that display in the photo? Curious to see what brands are coming out, etc.softdrinkviking - Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - link
eh. looks like Eizo. Think I just answered my own Q.Meaker10 - Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - link
Quite a few notebooks running optimus/enduro (so using the intel chip) have DVI + HDMI + DP, can they drive one of these larger panels?stuhad - Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - link
Did they mention HD2500 or was it just the HD4000?ghd nz - Monday, January 7, 2013 - link
