J5Create unveiled an upcoming Thunderbolt 5 dock at CES. This particular product stood apart by offering both an MXM graphics card built into it and an M.2 slot for an SSD, plus a good selection of high-speed I/O (via Tweakers).
The JTD5174 dock has two variants: one fitted with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 laptop card, and the other with an AMD Radeon RX 7600M. These GPUs use the MXM form factor, which was introduced just over a decade ago to provide laptops with a standard for modular graphics cards. MXM never really caught on, but hasn’t quite gone extinct the same way technologies like CrossFire and SLI did. In recent years, the RX 6600 and the Arc A380 made it to the MXM format.
