That’s what the test is, as it seems to be primarily designed for workstations that need rapid swappable GPUs, but the point of the article is that it’s a new port that could be included on things like laptops and provide the GPU at 97.7% bandwidth, basically yes a riser cable, but that’s a 50+% increase over the best available eGPU solutions for laptops, which does seem like a pretty good increase

Oh. I didn’t get that from a cursory look. I thought this is a final product. If it fits in smaller form factors that’s great.
