There were two types of products discussed during Computex. The big one was AI and the insane builds required to run those workloads followed by CAMM2 memory modules. Just about every memory vendor had modules on display and just about every motherboard maker has boards to support them however, MSI was the only one sharing their vision.
When I established Ninjalane and later Hardware Asylum the goal was to feature high-end and hard to get computer hardware. Over the years this has served me well and allowed me the chance to deep dive into some of the best motherboard designs on the planet. However, that never made me rich which seems to be a trend with the products on display by Gigabyte during Computex
I remember when Cloud Computing was a popular subject at Computex there were cloud specific motherboards available from ASRock and the same was true during the Cryptomining craze. As a result it would seem out of character if ASRock was to skip AI and, you would be right.
SilverStone is hitting the Enterprise AI segment rather heavily during Computex 2024 with a number of new chassis designs to support multiple graphics cards which can be rack mounted in a data center or standalone as a private on-premise AI compute server.
Much like with CES there are a few companies that buck the trend and hold their presentations at alternative locations. Corsair was one of them opting to have a remote display showing off the latest in gaming gear, XLR audio interfaces, teleprompters, fans and keyboards.
EVGA hit it out of the park this year announcing an entire suite of products from a gaming laptop to a computer case.
HyperX had an interesting display this year showing off many of their new storage technologies and gaming peripherals designed for their esports team and Xbox gaming.
As you walked in the door to the right was this model star destroyer with a fully working watercooled computer.
Silverstone is one of the only companies that I have always visited at a trade show either it be CES or Computex Silverstone has always been there.
Thermaltake has been very bold in their marketing and appears to have focused squarely on the resurgence of casemodding.
This article will go over the modding process I used to create the Orange and Black stacker. Like before I used this old case to help promote Hardware Asylum and to introduce folks to what can be done with a computer case.
