» Externe Grafikkarte: Mein nächster Notebook nur mit Thunderbolt

Zitat

With Thunderbolt™ 3 technology, you get multiple 4K displays, ramp your graphics performance with external graphics cards, or transfer your data to and from your external drive at an incredible 40 Gpbs.

It’s all coming together. We’ve been anxious for full details on the Intel Skull Canyon NUC that we first saw at CES, and we’ve pointed out that the Razer Core external GPU dock was obviously designed with more than just Razer’s own laptops in mind. At GDC, Intel took the wraps off of the NUC, and perhaps the most notable detail is that it’s designed in part to make use of the Core.

Another key difference, and possibly unique from any other graphics dock we’ve seen so far, is that the ROG XG2 uses two USB Type-C cables to connect to the mobile devices (in our case, an Asus ZenBook). This is because the XG2 uses PCI-e lanes to transfer the data between the dock and the PC.

Asus explained that Thunderbolt 3 interfaces can create latency for external graphics docks, so the company decided to implement the dual-USB Type-C configuration to use four PCIe-3.0 lanes instead. Each cable handles two PCI-e lanes, and the interface provides adequate bandwidth to run even the most powerful graphics cards (Asus explained that its internal testing with a Titan X showed that four lanes operate at 99.99% of the performance of a x16 lane interface). Additionally, the USB Type-C ports on the PC will automatically switch between USB protocols and PCI-e protocols based on what you plug into it.

Near Zero Latency
Built upon the PCIe protocol, Thunderbolt technology is as fast as any PCIe card such as the Apogee Symphony 64 PCIe. Measured at 1.8 ms at 96kHz/32 buffer, Symphony I/O and Symphony 64 | ThunderBridge deliver near zero latency for a hassle free workflow.
