Externally, the Hi GT Cube looks like a large laptop charger. However, inside its aluminum case measuring 139 × 110 × 41 mm hides the mobile graphics card Radeon RX 7600M XT based on the Navi 33 GPU with 2048 stream processors and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with support for a 128-bit bus.
Although the device has an electrical power of 240 W, only part of this power is given to the integrated video card, and the rest is spent on recharging the laptop battery. The exact power consumption of the GPU is not specified, but it is typically between 100 and 120 W, similar to competing products.
Hi GT Cube uses USB4 port for connection. It does not have additional USB connectors, nor does it have the OCuLink interface, which manufacturers are increasingly equipping similar products with. The new product is also equipped with DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1 connectors.
The external Hi GT Cube video card is proposed to be used in conjunction with the new Huawei MateBook GT 14 laptop based on the Core Ultra 9 185H.
The Hi GT Cube costs 3,999 yuan (about $552), which makes the new product slightly cheaper than analogues from other manufacturers.
