OneXGPU Gives You AMD RX 7600M XT eGPU, M.2 SSD Storage & Vapor-Chamber Cooling In A Portable Solution

One-Netbook has released its portable eGPU solution which features the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT eGPU & a dedicated M.2 SSD slot for storage.

With the influx of portable devices in the gaming market, we have seen some really unique and interesting products, however, occasionally users need that "extra bit" of power with their portable device, which is why they look for options such as an external GPU or add-on products. The ease of connecting external components isn't an easy task to do but, One-Netbook has stepped in to cater to this issue, with a portable solution.

The company has unveiled the OneXGPU, a "portable" eGPU solution that is enclosed inside a complete package to give you extra performance on the go. The onboard GPU is the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT which is also incorporated in GPD G1's external GPU module however, OneXGPU has a few tricks up its sleeves.

In terms of specifications, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU is based on the Navi 33 "RDNA 3" SKU and features a total of 32 compute units, 2048 shader units, 32 MB of Infinity cache, 8 GB GDDR6 memory running across a 128-bit wide bus interface and a maximum clock speed of 2615 MHz. The TGP can be set between 75-120W.

Apart from the Radeon GPU, the OneXGPU portable module has a dedicated slot to mount an M.2 2280 SSD, providing consumers with an additional storage option. The SSD operates at Gen 2.0 M.2 speeds which are rather lacking versus the newer Gen 3.0/4.0/5.0 standards but for those who just want more storage for their games without worrying about performance, this is a good addition to the device.

To top things up, OneXGPU comes with a sleek design that has curved edges, with an RGB strip running along them to provide a decent look. In terms of the onboard ports, the OneXGPU has 2x HDMI and 2x DisplayPorts for display output along with two USBs & a dedicated Oculink interface to connect the external GPU to your main device. The eGPU is also compatible with USB4/TB4 but will operate at lower transfer speeds versus the dedicated OCULINK port which runs over the PCIe lanes.

If we talk about the concepts of eGPUs as a whole, they were applicable to some extent back when we had laptops that didn't come with decent mobile GPUs, but for handheld and similar devices, it doesn't make sense. Handhelds are designed for portability and moderate gaming and if want to go hardcore, well there are many alternatives out there in the market. Moreover, the pricing of these eGPU modules isn't feasible for large-scale adoption as well, and their output doesn't have a good performance per dollar ratio. However, for devices such as the OneXPlayer handheld, these modules can definitely be a big boost if you are planning to use the portable solutions on a high-res display.

One-Netbook has currently listed the OneXGPU eGPU module on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo and the company hasn't disclosed its pricing yet. The pricing should be over $500 US since that's also where GPD positioned their own eGPU module.
