Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- ASUS has launched the XG Core Radeon RX 9060 XT LP external GPU, housed in a compact 144 mm chassis aimed at enhancing performance for laptops and gaming handhelds.
- The GPU is significantly throttled with a 75W power cap compared to the standard 160W TDP of the regular RX 9060 XT, resulting in lower clock speeds (1600 MHz base vs. 1700 MHz base) to fit the small enclosure and maintain cooling.
- Despite the limitations, ASUS markets the eGPU as capable of accelerating gaming, content creation, and AI workloads, delivering up to 406.3 AI TOPs of power.
- Connectivity options include HDMI 2.1b, DisplayPort 2.1, and a USB Type-C 40 Gbps port, though the interface may limit performance compared to traditional PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 connections.
- Pricing and availability for the XG Core RX 9060 XT LP have not been announced.
