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.
Cooler Master was showing a wide variety of different things from cases, cooler to input devices and some of their OEM cooling solutions.
Overclocking has many limitations, some are set by the chip manufacture while others are usually a problem between the chair and the PC. EVGA likes to remove those barriers and give users the tools to get the most from their hardware.
EK Waterblocks has been one of the driving forces when it comes to what is available in the watercooling world and they are now pushing to help builders personalize their systems.
Everyone needs a little RGB in their life and Viper Gaming from Patriot has you covered with 7.1 Surround Sound headphones and a really cool M.2 SSD.
Ryze 3 is clearly the cheapest way to get 12 cores / 24 threads into a desktop gaming machine and with performance that is on par with the Intel solution it might be time to recommend AMD again.
ASUS has finally answered the age old question of limited screen real estate when using a laptop computer that doesn’t require a docking station and is completely portable. They just added another screen to the laptop itself.
