She is very compact.
GPD has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the release of the G1 external graphics card, which turned out to be the smallest external graphics card in the world.
Dimensions are only 225 x 111 x 29.8 mm with a weight of 920 g. Most external video cards are many times larger, as they often represent an ordinary desktop video card in a rather big case with its own power supply.
A unique Radeon RX 7600 at the price of an RTX 4070 Ti.
G1 managed to make compact, not least thanks to the GPU at the heart. In fact, this is a mobile Radeon RX 7600M XT, which is almost identical in its parameters to the desktop RX 7600, except that the frequencies and power limit are slightly lower. That is, we are talking about 2048 stream processors, 8 GB of memory and a 128-bit bus. All this consumes up to 120 watts of power.
Also, the compactness is partly due to the integrated 240W GaN power supply, which takes up very little space in the case.
Fortunately, contrary to early data, the novelty is very versatile. The G1 uses a 63Gb/s Oculink interface, and all of this can only be connected to the portable consoles of the GPD itself. However, you can also use Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4, which will allow you to connect the accelerator to a large number of laptops.
From the rest, we can note the presence of an active cooling system and Oculink, USB4, USB 3.2 (x3), DisplayPort 1.4a (x2), HDMI 2.1 ports and an SD card slot.
The fundraising campaign has not yet started, but it is known that within its framework a video card can be bought for $655, which is quite a lot for the RX 7600. RTX 4060 Laptop.
