UGREEN LinkStation Pro eGPU Dock Packs Thunderbolt 5 And 850W Power
UGREEN has given its external graphics enclosure lineup a nice upgrade with the LinkStation Pro, an eGPU dock that now features Thunderbolt 5 over the older LinkStation's USB4, which equates to much faster connectivity, enhanced power delivery, and broader system expansion.
The major headliner for the LinkStation Pro is definitely the leap to Thunderbolt 5, replacing the older 40Gbps USB4 port with 80Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth. This expanded bandwidth provides up to 64Gbps of dedicated PCIe 4.0 x4 data throughput directly to the installed graphics card, effectively doubling the data pipeline to reduce performance bottlenecks on Thunderbolt 5 host systems.
For users seeking a native, lower-latency hardware link, the dock retains a dedicated OCuLink portoperating at up to 64Gbps. Benchmarks provided by the manufacturer indicate that Thunderbolt 5 implementation has noticeable performance gains over OCuLink in synthetic benchmarks such as Time Spy Extreme, while OCuLink holds a competitive edge...
