Hi GT Cube offers external Radeon 7600M XT and up to 100W of power for the notebook

Chinese manufacturer Wiko has introduced a new external GPU solution with the Hi GT Cube dock. Like the OneXGPU, this dock features a Radeon RX 7600M XT to complement the performance of your notebook, but with a twist. The Hi GT Cube also provides power for your portable PC.

The complete dock measures 139 x 119 x 41mm, incorporating AMD’s GPU with RDNA 3 architecture. It draws 240W to run and can deliver up to 100W to the notebook, while also boosting gaming performance with a dedicated graphics card.

Wiko’s solution is particularly interesting for those looking for maximum portability. The Hi GT Cube is not much larger than many of the power supplies that come with notebooks, but it can be used in place of them.

The downside, compared to the OneXGPU, for example, is that the manufacturer has given up OCuLink for its product. The Hi GT Cube’s external Radeon RX 7600M XT only connects via USB 4, with bandwidth of up to 40Gbps. Users also have access to HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 connections for video.

As is customary for this type of launch, Wiko’s new dock is currently only available in China. The launch price, however, is quite attractive.

The Hi GT Cube with a Radeon 7600M XT was announced for 3,999 yuan. That’s roughly $3,222, making it more affordable than many of its competitors.

External GPU docks have become increasingly popular as connection speeds have improved to provide enough bandwidth for this type of solution. Integrated graphics, however, have also evolved rapidly.

The Radeon 890M, for example, is present in the top-of-the-line Ryzen AI 300 and has beaten important competitors in performance tests.
