MPX

MPX (Mac Pro eXpansion) is an expansion module configuration and proprietary connector introduced by Apple in December 2019 for their 3rd-generation Mac Pro.
==Description==
An MPX module can fit one of two MPX bays in the 3rd-generation Mac Pro. The bays provide more power than is typically available through a standard PCIe slot in combination with a proprietary connector. A module can occupy 1 or 2 double-wide slots in each bay. Two matching quad-wide modules can be interconnected through a high-speed Infinity Fabric Link. 3rd-party MPX modules have also been developed for use as high-performance GPUs and internal storage solutions.Here’s why the Mac Pro’s expansion modules are such a big deal by Alex Blake, Digital Trends. 2019-12-18.
