WORLDTECHNew wireless Wi-Fi 7 external GPU box comes with a built-in 4TB SSD for local AI
Single source: this development was reported by Tom's Hardware. What WORLDTECH can establish is that the report was made, and by whom. It has not been matched against a second independent organisation and has not been officially confirmed by the organisations involved.
What happened
External GPUs (eGPU) have been tried time and again, and while they have found their niche among laptop users, they're not commonplace. The WiCi One is designed with that specific scenario in mind, but adds wireless connectivity, multi-device support, and onboard storage.
WiCi wireless external GPU with onboard storage puts AI workloads reach of local machines via WiFi 7. Now that the AI craze is in full swing, more people are looking into owning a graphics card of some sort for the single purpose of running LLMs locally.
That list of words usually doesn't belong in the same sentence as GPUs, so it merits close inspection. First and foremost, the WiCi One leverages the WiFi 7 protocol to transmit data to and from the card.
