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.
a new generation of RGB LED fans called the T.B. RGB. These fans feature a familiar outer RGB ring of light that is now duplicated down the entire frame of the fan
For those of you who remember the X99 and the performance of the Haswell-E you will have undoubtedly heard of the Gigabyte Designare EX. If not, then shame on you because that motherboard is one of those fabled genesis boards that changes things.
Phanteks had a number of good products on display that all handle different aspects of the PC industry.
Unlike some companies EVGA is rather humble in what they show. Like most companies the majority of their product line is already available however, there were a couple of new items like their gaming keyboard experiment and a new version of their gaming laptop, now with more GPU.
One thing about Zotac, they aren’t afraid to try something new and given their track record for creating some pretty amazing small form factor computers it is only fair they continue.
On display they had a number of RGB LED enabled coolers and some pre-release multi port reservoirs but by far the most interesting item was the Alphacool Eiskoffer. This is a complete PETG bending kit with everything you need to bend PETG and Acrylic tubes.
