There are a large number of companies in the world that try to take risks to reach as many people as possible with their products, and Ayaneo, is one of them, that far from having presented a new portable console, their specialty, they have decided to change course a little. And the company has wanted to reach a broader market, since they have presented their new GPU externalwith a retro theme that is also partly futuristic.
Ayaneo is a brand that has based the entire development of its products around one premise, offering the greatest portability and fun for those people who want to play any PC title, but who do not have the time or space to use a desktop computer. Their consoles offer a wide variety of designs, along with performance and power that leave nothing to be desired, but now, they have chosen to create a dock for GPU external With a retro theme, will we ever see an external GPU for your consoles?
An external GPU with a futuristically old design
It is clear that one of the first impressions that a component can make on us is not its performance itself, but rather the design it has, since it is the first thing we always see, although obviously it is not usually one of the most important aspects they have, obviously. In this case, the new creation of Ayaneo It catches our attention directly because of the design it has, because it combines retro and futuristic aspects, and the shape it has reminds us of a spaceship (hence the name “Starship”) but not like the ones we can see in current games or movies, but is more related to the series and movies that could have existed more than 30 years ago.
Although this design could have really worked perfectly with a collaboration with the latest Bethesda title, Starfield, the company wanted to create a dock that allows combining the technological aspects that were presented as the future several years ago, along with the “futuristic” components. » current, cutting-edge graphics. There are not a lot of details regarding what this dock will be like, since the presentation will take place on May 18, but for the moment we can speculate about some of the characteristics it may have, such as the type of connection or the shape in which the graphics card is to be connected.
What this dock will offer for external GPU
In this case, we can expect that since Ayaneo use one of the fastest standards in terms of connection for external graphics cards, OCuLink, which allows you to take better advantage of the speed that we can find in PCIe interfaces than USB4 or Thunderbolt, offering a bandwidth of 64 GB/s. On the other hand, it may be that this dock involves incorporating the graphics card inside, since in the images that we can see, no PCIe x16 interface can be identified, so it is most likely that it is inside the dock itself.
And finally, it is worth noting that as the company indicates in the few data they have revealed about this new device, it is multifunctional, so we can imagine that it will offer a series of additional features, such as ports for both USB4 and OCuLink, and even some way to incorporate external storage devices.
