The Mind Link interface stands out with its impressive data transfer capabilities. While it can theoretically support PCIe 5.0×8 specifications, offering up to 256GT/s, the version incorporated in Mind Graphics operates at PCIe 4.0×8, delivering a transfer rate of 128GT/s. When paired with the current generation of the Mind mini host, the connection bandwidth reaches 64GT/s, significantly surpassing the speed of Thunderbolt 4 and ensuring minimal to no performance loss during intensive tasks.
