If we're going to talk about what 2K, 4K and 8K actually are, then neither 1440p nor 1080p are 2K.

DCI defines the official 2K for cinema (which is what 2K, 4K and 8K actually are for) as being 2048×1080 and NOT 1920 by 1080.
Just like how 4K is actually just 2160p and not the 4K standard of 4096 × 2160 and NOT 3840 by 2160.

I'm guessing the only reason why we refer to computer monitors and video as 4K is because it sounds cooler in marketing and better for non-technical people to understand than 2160p.

Probably. It's also accurate considering it is ~4,000 pixels wide. Far from the sketches marketing practices.

Oh no it's very sketchy.
They jumped from measuring via height in pixels to width.
1080p to 2160p (4k) is only double the pixels in each direction. Because this was not specified, a lot of people think 4k is 4000 pixels tall.
Which is what 8k is. 4320p
1920 by 1080 -> 1080p / “2K”
3840 by 2160 -> 2160p / 4K
7680 by 4320 -> 4320p / 8K

And it's only an estimation of the width of the screen too. While 1080p told you that the screen is 1080 pixels tall, 4K is off by 160 pixels to telling the true width of the display.

It's like the letter equivalents all over again.
SD - 640 x 480
HD - 1280 x 720
FHD - 1920 x 1080
QHD - 2560 x 1440
UHD 4k - 3840 x 2160
UHD 8k - 7680 x 4320

Yes they did change the measurement system, but they are keeping it the same with 4K and up.

I think it's fine, and considering it is an already accepted standard it is definitely reasonable to use.

So just a singular graphical unit?
How would that work?

1 Shader Unit.
Nothing else.
Just dig a shader unit out of the silicon with a box cutter and hope the the best when you shove it in a USB port.

Works well.

Now that is a genuinely good idea!
We thinking the best components you can get for an XP machine and building it like a sleeper, or are would you build a battlestation with the best components you could get from that era?
This is something I'd do if I had the money!

I like how you completely didn't mention that they also said Windows ME in your post

What are you on about? My entire post was about XP. I definitely “Completed mentioned” it

Here's mine:

Ryzen 9 5959X
256GB DDR4-5000 RAM
8TB NVMe drive
18TB Hard drive
nVidia RTX 3090

I only have $600 right now though so that's not going to happen (ever?)

Dang this topic is old
And very quiet.

But I might as well post ultimate PC while I'm here.
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (already own a 5800X)
ROG Strix X570-E motherboard
Dual NVidia GeForce RTX 3090 (maybe a Gigabyte or ROG variant)
128GB DDR4 @3200 or 3600 MHz (RGB for extra points)
Samsung 980 Pro x2 (preferably 2TB)
Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SATA SSD
Western Digital Ultrastsr 18TB hard drive (yes, much capacity)
Power supply with at least 1200W
Gigabyte AORUS C700 Full tower case w/ Corsair 360mm liquid cooler (maybe custom cooling loop idk)
Samsung Odyssey G7 27" monitor x 3
Steelseries Apex Pro mechanical keyboard
Logitech G502 Mouse w/ wireless charging mousepad

Total cost is around 18500 AUD considering stock limitations and overpriced GPUs.

Current PC sits around 3000 AUD.

NT 98 (second?)
and blah blah blah

Any modern computer

RTX compatible PC
MSI model
Comes with McAffee protection

1PetaByte Ram 3THz
7THz Cpu
12 Yotabyte storage (SSD)
Windows 1.01
1TBps Ethernet
