WiCi One Debuts Wireless eGPU Using Wi-Fi 7 to Stream RTX 5090 Performance

California-based WiCi has launched the WiCi One, an external graphics processing unit (eGPU) that connects to laptops and tablets via Wi-Fi 7 rather than traditional cables like Thunderbolt or OCuLink. The device aims to provide desktop-class GPU power for gaming and local AI inference without physical tethering. Two models are planned: a base version with an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and a premium variant with an RTX 5090 32GB. While the base model is available for pre-order at $1,999, the higher-end version lacks a confirmed price. WiCi claims the system can run Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with 80 fps on the 5060 Ti and 110 fps on the 5090, though critics question the latency and bandwidth limitations of wireless connections for real-time gaming.
