Question 1

What is GPMI and how is it different from USB-C or Thunderbolt?

Accepted Answer

GPMI (General Purpose Modular Interface) is a next-generation connectivity standard that unifies data transfer, power delivery, and video output in a single cable. Unlike USB-C (40 Gbps) or Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps), GPMI offers 192 Gbps bandwidth and 480W power delivery, making it significantly more powerful for professional and future-proof applications.

Question 3

What devices are compatible with GPMI cables?

Accepted Answer

GPMI cables come in two types: Type-C (USB-C compatible form factor) for modern devices and Type-B (40-pin connector) for professional workstations. While full GPMI functionality requires GPMI-enabled devices, Type-C variants offer backward compatibility with existing USB-C devices at lower speeds.

Question 4

What are the main benefits of 192 Gbps bandwidth?

Accepted Answer

192 Gbps bandwidth enables uncompressed 8K/10K video streaming, instant large file transfers (100GB in under 5 seconds), simultaneous multi-display setups with up to 3x 8K displays at 120Hz, high-speed external storage exceeding internal SSD speeds, and future-proof connectivity for AI workstations and professional workflows.
