From ComputerWorld: AMD has issued a driver update that will allow ultrathin notebooks or 2-in-1 laptops to connect via Thunderbolt 3 to external GPU enclosures using its Radeon graphics cards.
AMD said it is the first time Thunderbolt 3 has been enabled to connect to an external GPU enclosure.
Mobile PC gamers have always faced a tough choice when buying a notebook -- do they buy a heavy, thick gaming computer or an ultrathin that's easy to carry, but not really the best device for gaming?
The driver update is for AMD's new XConnect technology that enables computers to run external video cards via Thunderbolt 3.
Gamers have "dreamed of buying the best of both worlds" with a lightweight laptop that also supports a powerful external graphics card, Robert Hallock, AMD's head of global technical marketing, wrote in a blog post.
