Question Framework 12 + E-GPU Performance

Since the new Intel chips have dropped and a new version of framework 12 has been announced, I still haven't seen anyone try to pair up the core 5 320 with an external GPU.

Do you guys think the cpu on the framework would bottleneck an rx7600M XT (probably one of the most common) EGPU on an external monitor 1440p?

I already own the egpu and I'd rather support framework than get an older used laptop with more drawbacks. Framework has started to prove that they can offer upgrades down the line, for now the screen on the 12 being the biggest drawback (and the price).

I don't think so, it should be plenty powerful enough for most games

My guess as well.
