The WiCi One is a wireless GPU that can handle AI tasks and even gaming graphics rendering for your Mac over a network. We have questions.
The graphics processing unit (GPU) is an important part of everyday computing, handling everything from graphics for games to processing AI tasks locally. For users of small computers incapable of holding a full-size graphics card, such as a thin notebook or a compact computer, an option is an external GPU enclosure. However, that brings with it a bunch of other issues.
The WiCi One is trying something different. While it is an external GPU, it's one that is instead designed to work over a wireless network. Inside is one of two configurations: a base Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of DDR7, or an upper-tier Nvidia RTX 5090 with 32GB of GDDR7. The company claims high performance, including 420 FP16 TFLOPS for the 5090 edition. Networking is handled by a Wi-Fi 7 radio with 4x4 MIMO.
