So Why Isn't GPMI Taking Over Yet?🟢

  • Limited to China 🇨🇳 for now.
  • No big names (Sony, Intel, AMD, NVIDIA) on board—yet.
  • Less resolution than HDMI & DisplayPort for future 10K/16K screens.
  • Proprietary Type-B may face compatibility issues worldwide.

🎯Final Verdict🎯

  • 🔹HDMI is still king globally due to universal compatibility, higher resolution, and massive brand support.
  • 🔸GPMI is a supercharged futuristic contender—especially for the all-in-one lifestyle—but it'll need international adoption and broader hardware support to truly dethrone HDMI.
