hound1013 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I am a freelancer designer, and I am currently searching the market for a workstation. A DIY desktop will definitely give me a batter performance with less money, but I am more of a laptop guy, and for the first time in history, w are expecting mobile workstations with actual Xeon CPUs inside.now the problem is this. My main rendering software is Keyshot, and it really give you an insane performance boost when you have a Xeon Phi coprocessor in your computer. It uses 8x PCIE interface, so it's a desktop device, like the egpus we have been using here. I came to think that a mobile workstation with a Xeon Phi plugged into e4h just might be be viable solution.This is a multiple grands of spending, so I thought I'd just at least ask here before I shell out on anything. Did anyone here try an eGPU like configuration with Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Since it is a PCIe device it should work. With a propper PCIe <-> Thunderbolt device it could work in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
