I’m so glad I came across your RUclips. I was so close to buying the onexegpu. And I was still indecisive. This one seems just right for my expectation. I am definitely getting this for my Legion go.
Man I think you are probably the only person on youtube who have reviewed this so far, I ordered mine too, shipping on monday, can't wait to try it with ally x!
Did you receive yours? And if so how is your experience with it? Thinking of buying one for ally x but a little bit afraid that of trusting unknown company

So they decided to come out and do this project.
I would love to see a performance comparison against the OneXgpu 2! I am under the impression the 7800M TX > RTX 4060. The SGWZone Modular eGPU has some future upgradability if the company is committed to their product.
This is a cool video and it inspired me to build my own. I just built an EGPU for my Ally X with the 4060 Ti for all parts and enclosure for $610. Bought a like new graphics card on eBay. Some on Amazon. Some on AliExpress. The Ti model will perform better than this one a bit and benchmarks get to 12500 instead of 11000 or so. Love the video and thanks for the review. You can do it better and cheaper. Geez… you could do a 4070 or 4070 super build for $748 which is what this cost after tax.
Sgwzone uploaded test demo of the 4080/4090 prototypes they made. Looks very promising. Maybe i need to ditch onexgpu. Have your handhelds had driver/software issues using your sgwzone? Temps and fan noise didnt get too high?
@@DrFeeLzGooDx that’s dope that they have the 4080/4090 prototypes. (I’ll see if they will send me one to test) I haven’t had any issues with drivers on the 4060 version I have because there is no conflict with the AMD drivers. OnexGPU has issues with the Ally X and legion go because they use nonstandard graphics drivers.
Hi! Considering getting this, and if I do I’ll be sure to mention I came from here. However I have a few questions: 1) I’m assuming this hot swappable? Is there a ritual for connecting or disconnecting or is it completely plug and play after the initial Nvidia driver install? 2) Can you run a 3DMark time spy and/or firestrike? I want to see how much the typical performance loss it is via USB 4 compared to PCI-E. My intuition tells me that building a DIY eGPU for USB 4 would be bulkier and bottlenecked by the connection, so while theoretically I can get a DIY dock and 4090, the diminishing return from a better card hamstrung by the connection is not worth it. Thanks in advance!
1. With usb C it is hot swappable (Don’t disconnect while playing a game tho 😅) 2. Not sure how I would directly compare it to pcie, but the numbers suggest it’s about 15-20% less on average
So the upgradeable Graphics card would only have to be purchased from the Company themselves right? I wonder how much support they are willing to do and how long it would take to even arrive
Yeah as of now it’s only through them (allegedly) They did they they are working on getting a 4080/4090 soon, but that has yet to be seen. I’m not really too deeply involved with the production, but they said they would update me as soon as it’s available and I’ll be sure to post an update here

hi i m not too good with these things, but i have a rog ally x, and i struggle to run it at 2k or 4k in the game and especially at my 4k monitor, so with this egpu dock, would i be able to do so? thank you!
Hi, it depends on what game but you will need DLSS being a laptop GPU and if your using thunderbolt 4 or oculink (that is better) will help. I would recommend a app called "Lossless scaling" as well so you can play at a lower resolution and upscale it to your 4k monitor and get some fps boost.
Question! So for the Lenovo legion go, do you have to uninstall the official legion drivers to use this EGPU? I wanted to buy the onexegpu but it says you have to uninstall the legion drivers in order to use. I want an egpu that’s just plug and play, is this the one for me??
@@Gunzavage you don't have to uninstall the legion go drivers because this is using an Nvidia GPU which has totally separate drivers. The onexGPU is using AMD drivers so it can sometimes cause issues with compatibility. Once you install the Nvidia GPU it is plug and play and you have no issues with the built-in drivers.
@@BarelyAverageDude appreciate it boss, I’m definitely ordering this! The site to buy this one is safe right? I hear of slow shipping times (1-2 months) but I’ll definitely get the product eventually right lol?
You will definitely have to try the new onexplayer EGPU they are coming out with. Ill help you pay for half of it and we can start a timeshare on it. 😂
lol I love the offer! But thankfully both our wallets are safe because I was lucky enough to convince OXP to send me one to try. Stay tuned; I will be comparing it to this 4060! 🤫
Could you tell me how much noise it has in decibels? I mean, does it sound like a console or desktop PC playing or does it sound more? I want to put this eGPU with my Asus Rog Ally X on my PC monitor or on my TV but I don't want the noise to be excessive or annoying for me but something similar to what I have on my PC and PS5 or Xbox Series S
@@BarelyAverageDude I find it hard to believe that it is quieter than a PS5, because it is very quiet and in another video of this eGPU the company puts a microphone nearby and it gives about 78 decibels, which is quite a bit louder than a PS5, I believe a little more that the sound is similar to a traditional PC, but not a PS5. I must also tell you that I asked on the TechTablets RUclips channel in a video of this eGPU but the V1 version with the RX 6600m, and it literally mentions this: It’s like a gaming laptop, so it’s pretty bad when going full tilt so gaming on it is LOUD. That’s why it seems quite contradictory to what you say, either it is loud or it is not, and I want reliable information to know that I buy a product that is not as loud as my game playing.
Hi, I'm interested in this eGPU, but I want to make sure it's not too noisy. Can you confirm if the noise level is bearable while gaming or if it's annoying?
Yes it will out video from the second usb C port, but my test show that the performance is around 10% less then when outputting via HDMI. (about the same as just using the built in display)
@@BarelyAverageDude Awesome. I just want to clarify though. It will video out from the second usbc on the egpu, not just the second usbc on the ally x? Will that still cause a 10% performance drop?
I wish you showed the performance with the native display as that's what I and many others are interested in / intend to use the eGPU as. I primarily play in bed plugged in, I would like to use a 2m USB 4 cable from an eGPU on my nightstand as an alternative to the power cable while increasing the performance.
Brother how can i contact this people because i ordered mine over a month ago 3 week they send me finally the track # but still the info that comes up is that usps still waitting for the package 😑
paint it black, ewww. it's double the thickness of OneX and G1 but shorter. They have the GPU on the bottom, then fan on top which is also replaceable. On the other side is the TB or Oculink slot, and the PSU is inside, Nvidia MXM GPU cards are a little larger than the AMD, and even the 3070/80 and 4070/80 are as well. so they made it larger for future proofing. You can swap out TB 4 for TB5 in the future as well as GPU and PSU
I don’t have a 4060 to put in the Razer Core unfortunately. But of course the Core is more flexible because you can put ANY card in it. This SWGzone eGPU is more about the compact size while still being modular to a Degree.
Overall this looks great I mean the fact that you can swap TB4 with oculink that’s the sell point. Imagine if handheld will start including Oculink on their device.
Can you a video using this EGPU with a laptop i have i just got my gpu on the mail am looking to use it with my laptop but it looks like is not plug & play lmk ty
@@PedroRiveraVillalongo is it detected by the system at all? Is it on? (Dumb question but had to check all bases) Does the laptop charge when connected? Is it plugged into the port labeled "PC host" 🤔
@@BarelyAverageDude Mine just arrived! Bought the eGPU+RTX4060 perk, however there is no OCuLink module. Did you buy the same perk from IndieGoGo or did I get scammed? :/
this is nice this is the way to add power to devices that are not as powerful like nintendo switch this could come in the pro duck to up the performance. company's can cut cost by not having to make powerful devices they con focus on battery and things like that.they will keep getting smaller and smaller.
thanks for the video and review. TB5 will be good when there are devices that can run it and if it does compare to oculink bandwidth. one less cable and step.
@@burnttoast4424 I'm not sure how much better that would be considering you would have to carry around a giant power adapter. 🤷🏽♂️ I like that this all fits in one case and is actually not that large
It doesn’t look like it would take much more space to fit in a desktop 4060 rather than the 4060m (as stated on their website) but still a great feat. It must be pretty hard for smaller companies to source GPU’s from Nvidia
they use a desktop 4060 in there, altough keep in mind the desktop and mobile use the same die/architecture which is why there isn't that much of difference between them performancewise.
@@ominousview Yeah you're correct. ~20% difference though. Their website has since been updated (although they still struggle with using 3070 vs 3070m in different places).
I wish this RUclipsr will help the company to grow more people to buy this product because I will think about it because I thought I would buy the AMD graphic card but now maybe I’ll think about the graphic card, Nvidia
As much as i like the ROG ally x with the battery, I think I will wait until we have the new Zen5 mobile for handhelds. Or the steam deck updated with it and the kick ass battery life
It will take longer to get stability and battery on the new Zen chips the first ones will be test, that’s why probably Steam deck 2 isn’t out for at least 2 years, that’s why I bought my Ally X and I’ve been loving it
wish it was in the £300 range - its just a little bit too pricey for me as i will only use it when im away on trips, my main home pc is stronger than the rog ally x plus a egpu
@@Futura2500 that would be amazing if they could get the price down, but the parts alone are still quite expensive. Can't wait for a future where either handhelds are 4060 powerful or 4060 power is cheaper.
@@D2firetech you mean 120W. look at their own videos. ANd to get it to work with no issues on Go or Ally X you have to uninstall all AMD software and drivers and then sideload vanilla AMD software and drivers. ANd hope for the best that future BIOS or other Updates that Asus or Lenovo make don't mess with it. Booster is basically what you get if G1 and ONeX had a baby. If you don't have OneX or G1 then go for it, it's cheaper. BUt if you have the ALly X and Go you will have to DNU and sideload software and drivers. If you have handheld that uses Intel or vanilla AMD CPU and software/drivers it works no issues, and I would get the Booster over the OneX or G1
8gb gddr6 is too low. 16gb being the minimum comfortably so when they do with the 4090 in definitely trying it out. Also no ray tracing test so dont think the test are good enough to know the true power
Of course you can do that, but look at how big that would be. This is about being compact but still offering more power. Also it’s not a 4060 mobile, it’s the desktop 4060 chip. (only real difference is the base clock and boost clock)
That would be nice if that product I can return and ask them can I upgrade it without risking it to be damaged by asking the company to upgrade my EGPU by returning the product and then they’ll ship it directly to me
@@GodlikeOCD you definitely give up a bit of portability for more power, but the whole thing can still fit in a backpack; so I can’t complain too much. The beauty of a handheld is the fact that you can still just leave everything behind if you want ultimate portability. *You have options.*
@@BarelyAverageDude sorry that is with FG on. FG off 73fps internal monitor. Did you test it using external? External i got 87fps. I like that egpu btw, just worried about the cooling system when playing demanding games for hours.
@@YelNatSttocS performance it trades blows with the 7600m XT in the ONeX and both are better than the G1 v1 (not sure about v2). I used the CP 2077 benchmark and tested oculink vs TB. You get 41%, 39.2, 29% improvement at 1080p, 1200p, 1440p respectively on internal display. and 35, 31 and 21 % on external display. The sgwzone was 3-5% better on TB but 4-8% worse on oculink vs the OneXGPU. I ran both with resizable BAR/SAM enabled for oculink,perhaps that was an issue for Nvidia and CP 2077 benchmark. Haven't tested again with that disabled. This was done with the OneX X1 (intel one). But i've played High on lIfe, xdefiant and Halo infinite and get better performance with the SGwzone, 15%, 8-15% (depending on settings, not just in game but Nvidia or AMD as well), and 3-5%, respectively.
@@YelNatSttocS definitely a downgrade in the bandwidth department (63Gb/s vs 40) I always said that they should have had xgmobile AND thunderbolt. It shouldn't have to be one or the other. It's crazy to think that people spent $1,500 on the XG mobile and if they want to get the features of the Ally X they have to throw that all away. I would say keep the og Ally if you have an xg mobile
XG Mobile was only 2 lanes of bandwidth on the ROG Ally anyway so this is a side-upgrade since you are no longer vendor locked to a proprietary interface.
@@sonichedgehog36Directly from ASUS: “The ASUS exclusive ROG XG Mobile interface. Its direct PCIe® 3.0 x8 connection to the CPU dedicated 63Gb/s of bandwidth just to the graphics processor, beating Thunderbolt™ by 57.5%*.” So it’s definitely more than the 40Gb/s you get with USB 4/ TB3 Either way, I boycotted the xgmobile because I hate proprietary connections. Source: www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1045151/
i can't take their marketing seriously. Random no name brand, marketing images of the device plugged into the side of the screen of a macbook. like what kind of nonsense is this? I'll pass on that alone. I'd rather just grab an egpu enclosure second hand and throw a second hand 3070 or 4060 in it and call it a day. Hell I've seen second hand enclosures with gpu included for decent rates from people who setup egpus for the laptop but upgraded to a desktop with a better card and are just trying to recoup some cash.
@@RedMageGaming 😅 marketing budget was probably spent making the product. 🤷🏽♂️ But jokes aside it actually is a dope device. As for being "no name" you gotta start somewhere; can't come into existence being a household name. That's why it's my job to test these things. 👍🏾
If they put an xgmobile port on it for the original This would be cool man i dont suppose you know of any egpu docks for original with xg port do you please bro 😩🤣
@@skizecraft luckily it’s only $696 😅👍 DIY will definitely be cheaper, but this excels at being ultra portable. It’s not for everyone (or most people) but I’m glad it exists for those who find it useful.
Why don't these companies put something worth it in there? Who's actually thinking a 4060 is a decent upgrade? It's going to perform like a desktop 3050 at best.
@@genio5311 definitely! This is only for people who want more from there handheld or something like a mini PC that doesn’t have dedicated graphics. Compact will always come with a cost unfortunately.
@@BarelyAverageDude yep. also ppl can't take desktops on the go. Even a miniPC you can. You could a NUC but then how much do they have to pay. A laptop maybe but if you have already a handheld or MiniPC cuz you don't have a large desk or room or are more mobile/nomadic and don't feel like carry around a laptop then handheld and portable eGPU is the way. its more of a niche fix
@@ominousview definitely more niche. It's just weird that people think it's pointless just because it doesn't fit their needs. 🤷🏽♂️ I'm noticing that PC gamers are very particular. If you add more power to a handheld they say "just get a desktop," If you add a portable monitor to a handheld they say "just get a laptop." Sometimes it's good to have other options to fit other use cases. 😅
The manufacturer will bring upgraded GPU modules when the next generation is available. I’m not saying you can go out and buy any random GPU and put in there. But of course time will tell when the next generation arrives. There’s no RTX 5060 YET 🤷🏽♂️
I ordered it, it came within a 8 days, and it works just like it does in this video. It is evidently not a scam. I was a little skeptical, but I won by trusting. They also provide good information on how to install. and supply software to make use of the lcd on the device.

Hi, it depends on what game but you will need DLSS being a laptop GPU and if your using thunderbolt 4 or oculink (that is better) will help. I would recommend a app called "Lossless scaling" as well so you can play at a lower resolution and upscale it to your 4k monitor and get some fps boost.
Please compare this with one xgpu amd7600m xt.

Question! So for the Lenovo legion go, do you have to uninstall the official legion drivers to use this EGPU? I wanted to buy the onexegpu but it says you have to uninstall the legion drivers in order to use. I want an egpu that’s just plug and play, is this the one for me??
@@Gunzavage you don't have to uninstall the legion go drivers because this is using an Nvidia GPU which has totally separate drivers. The onexGPU is using AMD drivers so it can sometimes cause issues with compatibility. Once you install the Nvidia GPU it is plug and play and you have no issues with the built-in drivers.
@@BarelyAverageDude appreciate it boss, I’m definitely ordering this! The site to buy this one is safe right? I hear of slow shipping times (1-2 months) but I’ll definitely get the product eventually right lol?

How’s the fan noise on the EGPU under load? More than 45db?
The fan is definitely noticeable when pushing it to the max, but there is no whine or annoying high frequency. You will definitely hear it though.
@@BarelyAverageDude you hear it but don't notice it when playing. if you're worried about others in your residence, oh well

Whats the temp of the ally when you use de egpu?
@@lakdanan70 50⁰
Could you tell me how much noise it has in decibels? I mean, does it sound like a console or desktop PC playing or does it sound more? I want to put this eGPU with my Asus Rog Ally X on my PC monitor or on my TV but I don't want the noise to be excessive or annoying for me but something similar to what I have on my PC and PS5 or Xbox Series S
@@MundoHandheld fan is definitely less than a PC or PS5.
Not sure the exact decibels, but it is not an annoying fan noise or else I wouldn't use it.
@@BarelyAverageDude I find it hard to believe that it is quieter than a PS5, because it is very quiet and in another video of this eGPU the company puts a microphone nearby and it gives about 78 decibels, which is quite a bit louder than a PS5, I believe a little more that the sound is similar to a traditional PC, but not a PS5. I must also tell you that I asked on the TechTablets RUclips channel in a video of this eGPU but the V1 version with the RX 6600m, and it literally mentions this: It’s like a gaming laptop, so it’s pretty bad when going full tilt so gaming on it is LOUD. That’s why it seems quite contradictory to what you say, either it is loud or it is not, and I want reliable information to know that I buy a product that is not as loud as my game playing.
Hi, I'm interested in this eGPU, but I want to make sure it's not too noisy. Can you confirm if the noise level is bearable while gaming or if it's annoying?
The fan is definitely noticeable when pushing it to the max, but there is no whine or annoying frequency. You will definitely hear it though.
its more than bearable. even if you don't have earbuds/headphones on. not whiney
Can I get video output with the second USBC port so I can connect to xreal airs or the viture pro?
Yes it will out video from the second usb C port, but my test show that the performance is around 10% less then when outputting via HDMI. (about the same as just using the built in display)
@@BarelyAverageDude Awesome. I just want to clarify though. It will video out from the second usbc on the egpu, not just the second usbc on the ally x? Will that still cause a 10% performance drop?
@@RyanC-on8oi yes, I was talking about the second usb c (thunderbolt) port on the eGPU.
I plugged my Xreal glasses directly into the eGPU second port
@@BarelyAverageDude Perfect. Thank you so much
@@BarelyAverageDude Does it have pass through charging? Can I charge the ally without turning the gpu on?
There's a but on the upgradeability... It is modular, but you might need a new power supply for the newer gpus
Omg this sweets are modular broooo
I wish you showed the performance with the native display as that's what I and many others are interested in / intend to use the eGPU as. I primarily play in bed plugged in, I would like to use a 2m USB 4 cable from an eGPU on my nightstand as an alternative to the power cable while increasing the performance.
@@vulcantuminello1127 definitely a dope setup.
It still works great without an external monitor, just subtract around 10% performance.
Is this work only with the console screen? Or need a second screen?
It works without a second screen, but the performance will be slightly less.

Is it still holding up after 3 months?
It’s still going strong. I have it connected to my win max 2 full time right now. Use it every day in my bedroom setup
Is it better than my XG-Mobile 6850m?
It won’t work with the original Ally unfortunately
They should paint it black and redesign the layout and case to make it look flatter & more portable. Right now it looks kinda large and heavy.
Put it in the case and no one will know it’s not black 🤐😅
if they made it flatter it then has to be longer too, the layout is already maxed with literally no empty spaces
paint it black, ewww. it's double the thickness of OneX and G1 but shorter. They have the GPU on the bottom, then fan on top which is also replaceable. On the other side is the TB or Oculink slot, and the PSU is inside, Nvidia MXM GPU cards are a little larger than the AMD, and even the 3070/80 and 4070/80 are as well. so they made it larger for future proofing. You can swap out TB 4 for TB5 in the future as well as GPU and PSU
So can I order it now or it’s just available for pre order?
Order it now. It gets delivered in a week. I got mine a few days ago and ordered last week (US).
Can you please test the ally x with the razer core and do a comparison
I don’t have a 4060 to put in the Razer Core unfortunately.
But of course the Core is more flexible because you can put ANY card in it. This SWGzone eGPU is more about the compact size while still being modular to a Degree.
Overall this looks great I mean the fact that you can swap TB4 with oculink that’s the sell point. Imagine if handheld will start including Oculink on their device.

Took about 10 days to deliver once they shipped it out to me.
But it may be faster for backers
@@BarelyAverageDude Mine just arrived! Bought the eGPU+RTX4060 perk, however there is no OCuLink module. Did you buy the same perk from IndieGoGo or did I get scammed? :/
@@BarelyAverageDude Same for me.
this is nice this is the way to add power to devices that are not as powerful like nintendo switch this could come in the pro duck to up the performance.
company's can cut cost by not having to make powerful devices they con focus on battery and things like that.they will keep getting smaller and smaller.
I don't think that this is a good idea when modular egpu "enclosure" exists where you can decide which GPU to pair your main device with.
thanks for the video and review. TB5 will be good when there are devices that can run it and if it does compare to oculink bandwidth. one less cable and step.
@@ominousview definitely. We should be seeing some TB5 handhelds next year with the new AMD chip
They should remove the power components out of the unit and put them in an AC adapter. That would probably shrink its size considerably.
@@burnttoast4424 I'm not sure how much better that would be considering you would have to carry around a giant power adapter. 🤷🏽♂️

@@frankpatterson9682glad I didn’t disappoint 🫡
It doesn’t look like it would take much more space to fit in a desktop 4060 rather than the 4060m (as stated on their website) but still a great feat. It must be pretty hard for smaller companies to source GPU’s from Nvidia
they use a desktop 4060 in there, altough keep in mind the desktop and mobile use the same die/architecture which is why there isn't that much of difference between them performancewise.
@@ominousview Yeah you're correct. ~20% difference though. Their website has since been updated (although they still struggle with using 3070 vs 3070m in different places).
I wish this RUclipsr will help the company to grow more people to buy this product because I will think about it because I thought I would buy the AMD graphic card but now maybe I’ll think about the graphic card, Nvidia
Is this still the best the best egpu for rog ally X?

As much as i like the ROG ally x with the battery, I think I will wait until we have the new Zen5 mobile for handhelds. Or the steam deck updated with it and the kick ass battery life
“That’s what I call a pro gamer move.”
Ally X is an improvement, but I wouldn’t call it a full upgrade
It will take longer to get stability and battery on the new Zen chips the first ones will be test, that’s why probably Steam deck 2 isn’t out for at least 2 years, that’s why I bought my Ally X and I’ve been loving it
wish it was in the £300 range - its just a little bit too pricey for me as i will only use it when im away on trips, my main home pc is stronger than the rog ally x plus a egpu
@@Futura2500 that would be amazing if they could get the price down, but the parts alone are still quite expensive. Can't wait for a future where either handhelds are 4060 powerful or 4060 power is cheaper.

@@D2firetech you mean 120W. look at their own videos. ANd to get it to work with no issues on Go or Ally X you have to uninstall all AMD software and drivers and then sideload vanilla AMD software and drivers. ANd hope for the best that future BIOS or other Updates that Asus or Lenovo make don't mess with it. Booster is basically what you get if G1 and ONeX had a baby.

I just paid $720 for a 7900XTX, and now all I need to do is get the adapter for the dock.
Of course you can do that, but look at how big that would be. This is about being compact but still offering more power.
Also it’s not a 4060 mobile, it’s the desktop 4060 chip.
(only real difference is the base clock and boost clock)
That would be nice if that product I can return and ask them can I upgrade it without risking it to be damaged by asking the company to upgrade my EGPU by returning the product and then they’ll ship it directly to me

@@YelNatSttocS performance it trades blows with the 7600m XT in the ONeX and both are better than the G1 v1 (not sure about v2). I used the CP 2077 benchmark and tested oculink vs TB. You get 41%, 39.2, 29% improvement at 1080p, 1200p, 1440p respectively on internal display. and 35, 31 and 21 % on external display. The sgwzone was 3-5% better on TB but 4-8% worse on oculink vs the OneXGPU. I ran both with resizable BAR/SAM enabled for oculink,perhaps that was an issue for Nvidia and CP 2077 benchmark. Haven't tested again with that disabled. This was done with the OneX X1 (intel one). But i've played High on lIfe, xdefiant and Halo infinite and get better performance with the SGwzone, 15%, 8-15% (depending on settings, not just in game but Nvidia or AMD as well), and 3-5%, respectively.
For me TBH an upgrade but removing XGM is a downgrade in egpu perspective. XGM have more bandwidth than TBH.
@@YelNatSttocS definitely a downgrade in the bandwidth department (63Gb/s vs 40) I always said that they should have had xgmobile AND thunderbolt. It shouldn't have to be one or the other. It's crazy to think that people spent $1,500 on the XG mobile and if they want to get the features of the Ally X they have to throw that all away.
I would say keep the og Ally if you have an xg mobile
Facts. XG MOBILE
XG Mobile was only 2 lanes of bandwidth on the ROG Ally anyway so this is a side-upgrade since you are no longer vendor locked to a proprietary interface.
@@BarelyAverageDude Wrong. The ROG Ally's XG Mobile port was only 2 lanes of PCIe so it wasn't a downgrade in the slightest.

“The ASUS exclusive ROG XG Mobile interface. Its direct PCIe® 3.0 x8 connection to the CPU dedicated 63Gb/s of bandwidth just to the graphics processor, beating Thunderbolt™ by 57.5%*.”
