Source? I was kinda disappointed that the first release will only cover 8 bit (and 2D 4:2:0), but if it's really using higher precision internally even for 8 bit it's fine.

Wikipedia says this:

Higher bit depth
Internal bit depth increase (IBDI) allows encoding of video pictures by treating them to have a pixel bit-depth that is higher than 8. The internal precision is extended to handle the increased pixel precision.

but I'm not sure about the details. Sounds to me like it'll allow some kind of adaptive higher precision storage internally...
Edit: I went and skimmed the draft spec and Wiki is right: each video picture can use whatever bitdepth, both for luma and chroma (from 8-14). In main profile the sequence parameter sets have to have bit depths of 8, but I think the picture parameters are not fixed so the encoder can choose whatever is most efficient for that frame I suppose.
