OneXPlayer has unveiled its latest eGPU solution, the OneXGPU 2, which features AMD’s Radeon RX 7800M “RDNA 3” GPU.
Previously, OneXPlayer featured the OneXGPU, which showcased AMD’s Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU. This previous eGPU stood out for its sleek design, which featured active fan cooling and RGB LEDs. It also supported M.2 PCIe SSDs and offered a variety of I/O options, such as OCULINK, HDMI, DP, USB (Type-A and Type-C), and a LAN port.
OneXPlayer is now showing off its upcoming eGPU, the OneXGPU 2, which will feature AMD’s Radeon RX 7800M “RDNA 3” GPU. While there are no specific details available on the eGPU yet, it appears to be the first Navi 32-based solution aimed at the mobile market. Currently, AMD’s RDNA 3 mobile offerings include several Navi 33 models and one Navi 31 model, such as the Radeon RX 7900M, RX 7600M XT, RX 7600M, RX 7700S, and RX 7600S.
The Radeon RX 7900M is the entry-level GPU in the Navi 31 series, featuring 4,608 cores. This is more than the desktop Radeon RX 7800 XT, but less than the RX 7900 GRE. The Radeon RX 7700 XT represents the lowest configuration seen so far for the Navi 32 GPU, so the RX 7800M could have a similar core count. Additionally, the RX 7900M retains the 6 MCDs of the top Navi 31 dies, suggesting that the AMD Radeon RX 7800M could also feature a 256-bit, quad-MCD memory interface.
The introduction of the Radeon RX 7800M “RDNA 3” GPUs will be a long-awaited and welcome step, as AMD has had a limited presence in the laptop market. Currently, only a few PCs feature AMD’s Radeon RX 7000M chips, while the majority of laptops are equipped with NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs.
The AMD Radeon RX 7800M could be an effective mid-range option for gaming laptops, offering great performance if offered at a competitive price. While OneXPlayer has not yet revealed the price or release date of the OneXGPU 2 eGPU, it is expected to launch later this quarter.
