Razer Core X (2018)

A Thunderbolt 3 external GPU enclosure that connects to a laptop over a single USB-C cable, turning a thin notebook into a desktop-class graphics machine. That one Thunderbolt 3 link carries the GPU data and delivers up to 100W of USB-C power back to the laptop to charge it while docked. Unlike the Core X Chroma, the plain Core X has no extra USB-A ports or Ethernet: its 650W internal PSU and PCIe x16 slot are devoted entirely to the graphics card.

Razer’s Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure: a single USB-C link with 100W laptop charging and a 650W PSU for full-size GPUs.
