Which part is industry first?
the title is sensationaliat, as the gpu part has been done before (mxm gpus)
the only industry first off the top of my head is the 240w usb c epr charger for a laptop
Only argument I could make is that this is the first gpu module that has a self contained cooling system. Older mxm cards were just the PCB.
thr frameworks AMD 7700s came before it, so it wouldn't be the first.
Industry first Nvidia card? Like it's a bit thin but that's the closest I can get to "erm actually"
hence why Mention the titles a bit sensationalist.
its using a gpu company that rarely does it, for the first time in awhile in a very specific way, as that's not the title of the thread that OP links.
the idea of a laptop dgpu isnt new
the idea of a removable laptop dgpu(mxm)
the idea of a removable nvidia laptop dgpu isnt new(same as above, also asus rog flow attachable gpus)
the idea of a slottable gpu isnt new (frameworks 7700s came before it)
its the combination of the above which is pigeonholing the definition hard enough that it really doesnt have any real merit.
