Sorry for the stupid question, what is the advantage of your new connection for gpu? why not oculink or pcie riser or thunderbolt?

PCIe is too physically large, Oculink is too thick and doesn't have enough pins for power, and Thunderbolt has protocol overhead and throughput limitations.

It seems to me that oculink port is still a good option for side module, although it's unrealistic. I hope ltt lab create custom gpu module from the desktop 4090: built-in power, water cooling and of course rgb :)

Yeah, sorry, no. Thunderbolt does have overhead and limitations, but imo those limitations don't justify making a new standard, even if it's more open than the others. Maybe you could say more about those limitations and convince me?
