Innovative Solutions for Connecting Mini PCs with Desktop GPUs

Zero刻 is calling for the best solutions for connecting “mini PCs” with desktop GPUs globally. We welcome computer enthusiasts from around the world to submit their ideas and showcase your creativity!

Existing independent GPU connection solutions:

1. Integrated GPU in the host

Performance limitations: Although mobile integrated GPUs save power, they are far inferior in performance to desktop GPUs, especially when handling complex graphics and large games.

Cooling challenges: An integrated GPU increases the cooling burden on the host, requiring a more advanced cooling system for the MINI PC. This can lead to a larger size, which defeats the purpose of mini PCs, making them less convenient than traditional ITX systems.

2. Connecting external GPUs via USB4, Thunderbolt 4, and Oculink interfaces

Performance loss: While these technologies provide a way to connect external GPUs, bandwidth and latency limitations result in performance loss, preventing users from utilizing the full potential of the GPU.

Impact on portability: External solutions require additional devices and cables, contradicting the original intention of mini PCs being compact and portable.

Increased costs: External GPU solutions usually come with additional hardware costs, which may not be friendly for budget-conscious users.
