That's right. This years Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan, was streamed in gorgeous 8K picture quality using Intel Xeon Platinum servers. However, there is a catch. Unless you subscribed to NHK in Japan and owned an 8K playable personal computer you never would have seen or noticed any difference in quality.

With the Olympics taking place in Tokyo this year, and with the rise of new technologies within the last few years, is it any surprise that it would be streamed in 8K quality resolution? Tokyo Olympics used encoded servers that were equipped with four Xeon 8380H processors. Those processors showcased a total of 28 cores and 56 threads each, which in total was 112 cores and 224 threads. Intel also used their Optane 900P SSD with a capacity of 480 gigabytes and DDR4-3200 memory with a capacity of 384 gigabytes.
