MSI presented multiple pre-built AI gaming desktop PCs at CES—their showroom tables were laden with offerings from the MEG, Aegis, Vision and Codex families. A lot of high-end components were mentioned on neighboring spec sheet placards—MSI has picked up the latest processor technology from Intel and AMD. Most of the showcased systems are not cutting-edge enough to feature NVIDIA's RTX 50 "Blackwell" series. A big exception is their second generation MEG VISION X AI gaming desktop—a specific GPU model was not mentioned, but it would be safe to assume that a custom MSI GeForce RTX 5090 card would be worthy enough for such a fancy system. Certain press outlets have reported that MSI organized a preview event last October—a lucky few inspected the MEG VISION X AI 2nd during a factory tour.

Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K "Arrow Lake-S" processor is reportedly a constant across all MEG VISION X AI 2nd build configurations. MSI has not revealed pricing, but industry experts reckon that the most expensive variant could be configured with the market's top-tier GPU, memory and storage options. Customers are encouraged to update hardware in the future—a product placard states that internals are easily accessed and simple to upgrade. A TechPowerUp staffer felt the need to examine the MEG VISION X AI 2nd's "AI HMI" touch screen interface. This unique selling point—with AI functionality—absolutely dominates the case's front panel.It would not be polite to ignore the other "AI Gaming" desktops. MSI's Aegis RS AI 2 is high-end system—it can be configured with a Core Ultra 9 285K CPU. A placard states outlines a selection of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 "Ada Lovelace" GPUs—going up to the RTX 4090. A "Vision RS White 2nd" model was placed nearby—placard information states that its best configuration maxes out with the Core Ultra 7 265K CPU and GeForce RTX 4080 GPU.TechPowerUp spotted a smaller pre-build at the table's edge—MSI's "Codex Z2D AI Gaming Desktop" is based around AMD's latest Ryzen 8000F processor series (featuring AI NPUs). MSI's best configuration maxes out with the Ryzen 7 8700F and a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. Several product sheets mention that MSI is assembling their Vision and Aegis AI desktop PCs in the USA.
