Kosin Demonstrates RTX 3090 Running Via Ryzen Laptop's M.2 Slot

I doubt those laptops are being used for mining as the only cable to them is a power cable.
Which is all you need on a RTX laptop. They have batteries. All you have in a desktop PC is a power cable as well. My point is more that these M.2 to PCIE x4 slots will ultimately be repurposed to repurpose laptops for mining rigs. Yeah they have uses outside of that, but I'd wager the bulk of the sales of these adapters will end up being used for mining for quite some time is the screwy part.

with that RTX logo they could be 3080s or 3060tis

you just gotta get your hands on a bunch through some dubious means, and mine away for a month to make some profit

Like hell, you could be in a factory meant to box them in a chinese factory earning cents a day and become rich in comparison with untraceable bitcoins on the companys electrical bill - and then pack them back up to ship them out pretending they were still new or just factory tested
 
NIfty, but it's really not all that different from using an eGPU enclosure over Thunderbolt 3. It's still 4 lanes worth of PCIe.

It's just bandwidth USB 3.2 SuperSpeed ++ should be on par with thunderbolt 2. That's plenty for mostly good results with a GTX960/GTX970/GTX980.

latency, latency, latency.

USB has never been super low latency, or we wouldnt have competing standards like thunderbolt.
Hopefully that changes with future gens merging the techs.
