Summary
$1,999 preorders have opened for WiCi One, a wireless external GPU that offloads gaming and AI workloads over Wi-Fi 7 to compatible devices.
The base unit bundles an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Intel Core 3 100U and 1TB NVMe storage inside its own cooled enclosure, replacing the Thunderbolt or OCuLink cables used by typical eGPUs.
WiCi says that model can run Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K Ultra with DLSS 4 at 80 fps and Black Myth: Wukong at 4K Cinematic with DLSS 4 at 60 fps.
Q4 shipments are planned, and the preorder price is set to rise to $2,599 at release; WiCi also plans a higher-end version with an RTX 5090 32GB, Core Ultra 7 225H and 4TB SSD.
