It seems that HDMI is on its last legs. The new GPMI standard, developed in China, promises to be a much more efficient gateway.
The GPMI (General Purpose Media Interface) was created by the Shenzhen 8K UHD Video Industry Cooperation Alliance and offers transfer speeds of up to 192 Gbps and delivers up to 480 W of power.
These values are twice as high as those expected for the next version of HDMI. If these specifications are confirmed, it could mean the end of the current standard used for audio and video transfer.
According to the website HKEPC, GPMI has already been approved by the USB Association. The new standard is supported by Chinese tech giants such as Huawei, Hisense, and TCL.
The big advantage for companies is that GPMI will not be a proprietary standard, unlike HDMI, which requires licensing for use. As a result, manufacturers could significantly reduce the costs of mass-producing their electronic devices.
