The math's not hard. Take the number of pixels on the screen, 1920 * 1080. Multiple that by the bits per pixel, 48, for the deepest color. Then by the frames per second, 48, for 3D. That's 4.8 gigabits/second for video.

Audio is 192,000 samples, at 24 bit, on 8 channels, or 36.9 megabits/second.

That's a total bandwidth requirement of 4,814,438,400 bits per second. Not even close to the 10.2 Gbps for which HDMI 1.3 was rated. The only needed thing the HDMI 1.4 spec really adds, the frame packing formats for the 3D video stream.

Oh, and you should use a small 'b', not a big 'B', because the measurements are in bits not Bytes.
