WiCi has unveiled the WiCi One, an external graphics processing unit (eGPU) designed to provide high-end graphical power wirelessly. This innovative device bypasses the need for Thunderbolt or OCuLink cables, instead utilizing Wi-Fi 7 to connect to compatible devices, thus preserving laptop portability.
The WiCi One integrates a dedicated graphics card, a Wi-Fi 7 module, and a cooling system into a single unit. The initial offering includes an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU, an Intel Core 3 100U CPU, and 1TB of NVMe storage. WiCi also plans a premium version with an RTX 5090 32GB GPU, an Intel Core Ultra 7 225H CPU, and a 4TB NVMe 5 SSD.
Performance claims suggest the RTX 5060 Ti model can deliver 80 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K Ultra with DLSS 4, and 60 fps in Black Myth: Wukong at 4K Cinematic with DLSS 4. Beyond gaming, WiCi markets the One for intensive AI computations and local AI assistant operation.
Preorders for the base WiCi One model are priced at $1,999, with a future retail price of $2,599. Shipments are anticipated to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026. Pricing for the more advanced RTX 5090 variant will be announced closer to its launch.
