MAXSUN shows Z890 Mini-ITX workstation with an MCIO-connected GPU
The compact Intel system routes PCIe lanes through cables so its motherboard and graphics card can sit back-to-back.
TLDR
MAXSUN demonstrated a compact Z890 Mini-ITX workstation that routes PCIe Gen5 lanes through MCIO cables, letting its motherboard and discrete GPU sit back-to-back inside a Cooler Master i100 Air chassis. VideoCardz reports that the arrangement gives small-system builders more freedom than a conventional motherboard slot, although standard graphics cards still need an adapter or riser because they do not have native MCIO connectors. MAXSUN has not announced pricing or a retail date, and the machine appears to be a platform demonstration.
