        Bigger power delivery spec. The hope is that it should be possible to drive a huge display from a single cable for data and power

          it sounds stupid to force through the computer a meaningful amount of energy that is only intended for a peripheral

            By your logic type PD spec is stupid because it is also used in PC. The use cases extend beyond PC. Think video wall system where cabling can be messy and pretty much everyone got their own standard. This would allow a single daisy chain and simpler cabling.

            GPMI is not any better with all its “security” functions. It’s security against the user, the american way but in chinese flavour.

            it also does not sound to be good idea to have high power delivery so near to normal signal wires, noise, shorts, more power strain on the graphics hardware, and all that.

            displayport for the win.
