Thunderbolt 5 eGPU dock arriving soon enables attachment of a complete mini-PC on the side, boasts additional support for aftermarket ATX and SFX power supplies.

Aoostar, a leading technology company, has unveiled its latest innovation - the EG01, an upcoming Thunderbolt 5 eGPU dock that offers a unique feature: a mini-PC mounting solution. This dock is one of the first to feature both Thunderbolt 5 and OCuLink connectivity, making it a versatile choice for users seeking to enhance their computing experience.

The EG01 takes advantage of the Thunderbolt 5 interface and is compatible with OCuLink, providing a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface from the host system to the graphics card. This interface ensures smooth and efficient data transfer, promising a significant boost to your graphics performance.

Unlike past iterations of Aoostar docks, the EG01 does not have an embedded power supply. Instead, it comes equipped with a mount for aftermarket units, providing users with the flexibility to choose the power supply that best suits their needs. This feature may offer more power supply options compared to past Aoostar docks, allowing users to build a GPU setup that only requires enough power for current needs, with an upgrade path down the road.

The power supply bracket of the EG01 is designed with mini-PCs in mind, making it particularly useful for those who plan to daily drive it with a mini-PC or NUC-like device. The optional mini-PC holder on top may provide a more integrated setup for mini-PC users, offering a more compact setup compared to using a separate mini-PC and eGPU dock.

However, the EG01 may not be ideal for use with laptops or handheld gaming PCs due to its size and power requirements. The EG01 dock is designed to support full-size desktop graphics cards, expanding the range of GPU options available to users.

The EG01 eGPU dock can be used with Thunderbolt and OCuLink capable devices, making it a versatile solution for enhancing the graphics performance of a wide range of devices. With the EG01, users can look forward to a more powerful and flexible computing experience.

While the exact release date for the EG01 is not specified, it is expected to be a highly anticipated product in the world of eGPU docks. Stay tuned for more updates on the Aoostar EG01!
