More than 50 Chinese companies have joined their strength to design a connection standard that promises to greatly simplify how you connect your electronic devices at home and at work. This is the standard GPMIwhich could become an authentic revolution because it will meet all the requirements needed for resolution 8K.
It should be noted that promises a comprehensive solution with a high bandwidth and simultaneous power in a single cable. In other words, it allows you to transmit video, data, network connection and electricity supply, so it unifies all these functions.
Two versions with surprising capabilities
GPMI arrives with two variants that offer impressive benefits against current standards. On the one hand, there is the connector Type-Cwhich is fully compatible with the well-known USB-C and provides up to 96 Gbps of bandwidth and 240 watts of electrical power.
This version already far exceeds standards such as HDMI 2.1 (which offers 48 Gbps) or Displayport 2.1 (80 Gbps). But if that seems a lot, the version Tipo-B It is even more powerful. This variant offers nothing less than 192 Gbps of bandwidth and up to 480 watts of power.
It is important to mention that with these technical characteristics, not only could you easily connect high -resolution monitors such as 8K or even 16K, but also feed powerful devices directly with the same cable.
Besides, GPMI allows a bidirectional data transmissionthat is, you can adjust flexibly how you use the bandwidth available depending on your needs, distributing the capacity between uprising and decline in data.
GPMI
There is no doubt that this opens new possibilities for interactive devices, such as integrated cameras, which send and receive large volumes of information simultaneously without additional cables.
Although GPMI’s technical specifications are impressive and could be a real technological revolution, it remains to be seen if it will be able to impose itself outside China. Precisely because it is a standard mainly driven by Chinese companies, I could face regulatory and commercial barriers in western markets such as Europe or the United States.
In addition, the new standard will have to compete directly with standards already established such as USB4 or Thunderbolt, which although somewhat slower, have been of world acceptance for years. However, what is certain is that this «cable» is a very significant leap.
Could revolutionize the way the devices are connectedmaking standards like HDMI and USB seem to the past. Only time will say if GPMI manages to overcome regulatory barriers, but there is no doubt that this technology could greatly simplify connectivity.
HDMI 2.2 is launched with 12K and 120 fps support
The new HDMI 2.2 standard has already been officially announced, and its specifications have not gone unnoticed, and what will be marked a new chapter in the quality of image transmission. This version is expected to be available throughout the first half of 2025, although its arrival at mass consumption devices will be progressive.
Among its main advances, will allow to reach resolutions of up to 12k to 120 Hza figure that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. In addition, it will offer support for soda rates such as 4K at 480 Hz or 8K at 240 Hz, which is a huge jump in fluency and visual immersion.
These improvements will not only benefit entertainment at home, but also sectors such as medicine, simulation or professional design. The key behind these figures is in the increase in bandwidth, which doubles with respect to previous versions thanks to technology HDMI Fixed Rate Linkreaching 96 Gbps.
This transmission capacity will allow the contents to flow with greater stability and quality, especially in demanding scenarios such as augmented reality, virtual reality and contents in ultraalta definition.
To take advantage of all the potential of the new standard, the new cable Ultra96 HDMIwhich will be certified to handle that high volume of data without loss.
Together, HDMI 2.2 represents a significant evolution in the way in which the devices communicate with each other, and although there is still a way for their widespread adoption, you can start imagining the future that will bring with it together with the GPMI.
