MAXSUN has demonstrated a compact workstation built around a Z890 Mini-ITX motherboard that connects a discrete GPU by routing its PCIe 5.0 link through MCIO cabling rather than a conventional PCIe x16 slot. The system was shown at Intel Connection 2026 in China, highlighting how the high-density connector standard can provide greater flexibility for small-form-factor workstation designs.
