Sonnet Launches Portable eGPU Devices

Sonnet Technologies has announced details of the new Thunderbolt™ connected external GPU (eGPU) devices with the eGFX Breakaway™ Puck, a portable, all-in-one eGPU for Thunderbolt 3 computers.

The device delivers faster graphics and provides multi-display connectivity leveraging AMD's Eyefinity™ technology. With a Puck connected, a user's computer can deliver accelerated frame rates in graphics-intensive games, and boosted GPU acceleration for pro video applications when needed.

Sonnet has confirmed it will offer two Puck models – the eGFX Breakaway Puck Radeon™ RX 560 and eGFX Breakaway Puck Radeon RX 570. Each Puck model measures 6 x 5.1 x 2 inches, and features one Thunderbolt 3 port, three DisplayPort ports and one HDMI port. They also support up to four 4K displays in multimonitor mode.

When GPU acceleration is needed on the road, users can pack an eGFX Breakaway Puck along with a notebook in a backpack or computer bag. The Puck connects to a computer with a single Thunderbolt 3 cable and also provides 45W of Power Delivery to power and charge the computer. On the desktop, the Puck has a minimal footprint. With an optional VESA mounting bracket kit, the Puck can be attached to the back of a display or the arm of a multimonitor stand. The kit also includes a 0.5-meter DisplayPort cable to help reduce cable clutter.
