Do NOT buy this for eGPU purposes. This cable is listed as Thunderbolt 2-compliant, which can very much be only half as performant (max 20Gbps) as a Thunderbolt 3 (max 40 Gbps) cable. You will want the TB 3 cable to maximize your eGPU performance.

I can’t find whether this is Thunderbolt 2 or 3.

We have an iMac with two Thunderbolt 2 (miniDisplay) ports. We’re using a Thunderbolt 2 cable into a Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter into a Razer eGPU (not the chroma version, but it’s essentially the same).

If you have a Mac computer with usb-c ports then this will work without an adapter. You just need the thunderbolt 3 (usb-c) cable. Technically mac’s without Th3 / USB-c aren’t compatible with eGPUs but there’s software to easily get around that.

Yes it can as here is the description from the product:

The unique dual-chip design of the Razer Core X Chroma effectively handles both graphic and peripheral data through a single Thunderbolt 3 cable to the laptop.

So if you get the Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable it will work.
