TL;DR: AMD’s next-generation Radeon GPUs with UDNA (RDNA 5) architecture will support the upgraded HDMI 2.2 standard, offering up to 80Gbps bandwidth—significantly higher than HDMI 2.1’s 48Gbps.

Panasonic appears intent on shaving off every possible gram from the new models, and the VGA port is notoriously bulky compared to modern, all-digital alternatives like HDMI.

GPMI vs HDMI On the spec sheet, GPMI is way ahead of the game. Its Type-B bandwidth of up to 192 Gbps gives it a huge advantage over HDMI 2.1’s 48 Gbps, and even HDMI 2.2’s 96 Gbps.

Even if only the USB-C connector gets taken up, with its identical transfer rate to the upcoming HDMI 2.2, there’s still the power-sharing benefit, as well as a touted potential for “daisy ...

At the time this story was written, HDMI 2.2 cables, the aforementioned Ultra96 spec, aren't even on the market yet and we won't see any HDMI 2.2-compliant TVs until late 2025 or early 2026.

But while HDMI 2.2 — which arrives later this year — will similarly allow for 4K content at up to 480Hz and 12K content at 120Hz, there’s one feature that GPMI has over HDMI 2.2: power delivery.

HDMI 1.0 can only transfer a maximum resolution of 1080p at a rate of 60Hz and supports eight audio channels. 1.1 and 1.2 can do 1440p, but only at 30Hz.
