Yes, even to HDMI.

While many are still trying to understand the differences between HDMI, USB-C, Thunderbolt, and DisplayPort, an innovation from China could make all those cables obsolete. It's called GPMI —General Purpose Media Interface—and it promises to revolutionize the way we connect our devices.

What's so special about GPMI?
This new standard was created by an alliance of more than 50 Chinese companies, including tech giants like Huawei, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Tencent, and Vivo . Its goal is ambitious but clear: to combine the ability to transmit video, data, and power into a single cable... at speeds and power levels never before seen.

GPMI will come in two versions:

• GPMI Type-C : Compatible with the current USB-C. It offers up to 96 Gbps of bandwidth (ideal for 8K video, VR, or gaming) and up to 240W of power for fast charging.

• GPMI Type-B : Uses a new, more robust connector, with 192 Gbps and up to 480W charging , designed for workstations, high-performance laptops, displays and more.

Why does this matter?
Because it could simplify our lives. One cable for everything:
📺 High definition video
⚡ Powerful charging
📶 Ultra-fast data transfer

Furthermore, GPMI is being developed as an open standard , meaning other brands outside of China could also adopt it. Imagine: connecting your laptop to a monitor, charging it, and transferring files... all with a single cable. No adapters. No tangles.

Is it available yet?
It's still in the adoption stage, but the first compatible devices will arrive between the end of 2025 and 2026. And if the industry backs it, GPMI could become the new global standard , leaving behind technologies that have reigned for decades.

Conclusion:
GPMI technology isn't just more powerful. It's more practical, cleaner, and far more efficient. If you've ever dreamed of a desk without tangled cables and with everything working instantly... that future is closer than you think.
