PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The EVO-X3 stuffs 128GB of unified memory and OCuLink into a mini PC, aiming squarely at local AI inference. OCuLink's bandwidth is respectable, but the external GPU ecosystem is far less mature than Thunderbolt's, so real-world experience remains doubtful. For developers, the large memory is a genuine need, but the port's practicality still needs to be proven.
