GPD is crowdfunding an eGPU docking station for the cool new gaming handhelds

GPD is crowdfunding a new compact external GPU docking station that can both boost the gaming capabilities of some laptops and handheld gaming PCs, and also help anchor them to a desk for mobile workers . The company is calling it the G1, and it includes an AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT chip with HDMI 2.1 plus two DisplayPort 1.4 video outputs, a USB 4 / Thunderbolt 4 connector to dock and charge, and something called Oculink .

2 port, it can be outfitted to use this connector and hook up the G1 — potentially giving you reliable and better GPU performance compared to the more widely-supported USB4 and Thunderbolt-based eGPUs. Weak desktop computers could also get in on the action with an Oculink adapter card. One problem with Oculink, besides not being available in most laptops or handhelds, is that it doesn’t carry the power and data you need to fully dock and charge a PC.
