Intel and AMD announced that the VGA port will be abolished in 2015

Port VGA, or Video Graphics Array, has been connecting the monitor to the computer because it is old. developments in recent years have started to adapt a computer display HDMI DisplayPort and new technology that allows for less space and power consumption and higher resolutions.


Intel and AMD have announced that they will discontinue support for VGA began in 2013 and expect the technology to die in 2015, replaced by DisplayPort and HDMI port. We have seen many video cards to stop supporting the VGA port and it is not surprising that the two giant computer world started doing it too. Getting rid of the laptop VGA port means more streamlined which allows for a much more vibrant and clear high resolution display of VGA over 20 years.

"Nick Knuppfer, a spokesman for Intel, told TechNewsWorld," HDMI and DisplayPort is a modern digital interface that supports higher resolution and screen size. "

This step will produce a more rapid integration of DisplayPort and HDMI technologies that will lead to a higher resolution and modern display interfaces in the future. Samsung, LG and Dell have started to integrate DisplayPort technology on their devices and on-board with Intel's and AMD's plans for the death of a VGA port.

Although the adaptation of newer technologies, 5-volt requirement on the VGA port will actually result in increased overall PCB cost and luxury. Because the newer CPU and GPU that migrate below 45nm CMOS process, supports the VGA port will lead to difficult and possibly in movement Chip.
