Below we see a 32Gbps-NGFF.M2 and a 32Gbps-TB3 eGPU implementation. The NGFF.M2 interface directly attaches the video card to the southbridge giving better performance at the cost of inconvenient under keyboard access. The Thunderbolt controller adding dragging latency but provided a convenient single cable solution using the external TB3 port.
