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.
SilverStone is well known for their chassis designs and had a pretty amazing vertical chassis on display with tempered glass side panels that was very reminiscent of the Fortress FT03.
Wouldn’t you know it, Chaintech is back and happens to be one of the only vendors around that isn’t doing a black PCB. Well, that isn’t entirely true. While this iGame X299 Vulcan X does have a white PCB and supporting accessories they do offer a black version with identical specs.
One of the common topics over the past year was the lack of GPU availability. We have all heard about it and many of us had to deal with it in one way or another. Some of it good and some of it bad but, for who?
It is hard to believe that Thermaltake has been around for 20 years and over that time they have released some pretty amazing products. At the 10 year anniversary they worked in conjunction with BMW to bring use the Level 10 and now at the 20 year mark we have the Level 20.
It is not often that two of your favorite products are given CES innovation awards. Well it happened at the MSI ballroom with several products and some notables being the MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning and MSI Z370 Godlike Gaming.
Of course they had RGB mousepads on display along with a new RGB keyboard and RGB palm rest just to complete the package and ensure that your RGB game is taken to 11.
