Considering all the buzz around WiFi 7, there weren't many live demos at Computex, but Realtek had a demo running in its suite at the show. Realtek will offer both client and router/AP solutions, with their client product which goes under the RTL8922AE model name, coming in M.2 2230 and 1620 formats, where the latter is a solder down module. To simulate a real world scenario, Realtek was running a second radio to cause some additional interference, but the RTL8922AE test setup was still capable of delivering between 1,750 and 1,950 Mbps, which is almost twice as fast as WiFi 6, using a similar 2x2 antenna setup. This was obviously over a fairly short distance, so the question is how well WiFi 7 will work over longer distances.

The RTL8922AE has a claimed maximum sync speed of 2800 Mbps when connected to the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands simultaneously and combining the bandwidth of both bands. However, it is limited to a 160 MHz channel bandwidth, whereas WiFi 7 can go up to a 320 MHz wide channel, but it's unclear if competing first gen clients will support this. The RTL8922AE also incorporates support for Bluetooth 5.4 and is as far as we're aware one of the first WiFi chips to support the upcoming standard that mostly focuses on improving BLE Audio and Auracast support. The RTL8922AE should launch sometime in the fourth quarter this year to Realtek's customers, so it might not appear on the market until early 2024.

Cougar introduced several new gaming chair models at Computex 2023 including the Hotrod, NxSys Aero and Armor EVO. The NxSys Aero has been getting plenty of attention from attendees due to its mounted 200 mm aRGB cooling fan - this is positioned to provide cooling for the sweatiest of rears torsos. The advanced integrated cooling solution is apparently a first for the gaming chair market - Cougar thinks that this is a game changer - a power bank provides the necessary juice to run the fan and lighting system from a discreetly placed perch. The NxSys Aero features an innovative elastomeric mesh and ventilated back cover ensuring an airy yet cushioned seating experience. A physiotherapy-grade lumbar pillow and magnetic head cushion complete the package.

The Hotrod is a "motorsports-inspired" gaming chair designed to react to the intense maneuvers of fast-paced action. Cougar has studied real world racing seat in order to figure out the right balance of flexibility and resistance to body movements. The Hotrod's structure is formed out of synthetic PA fiberglass-reinforced plastic, yet the chair offers a high level of comfort thanks to multi-density cushioning along its backrest. An integrated height-adjustable head cushion adds comfy support for necks and heads - it is ergonomically engineered to prevent whiplash resulting from the most serious of high-octane gaming situations.

Fractal Design is taking the subtle route with its new Terra compact PC case, its sole new product on display at Computex - the small form factor Mini-ITX 10.4-liter enclosure has been "designed and engineered to reshape the small form factor gaming experience." Its creators have decided upon an unusual combination of materials and hues - the front panel features a wooden section where the power button and front ports are located, including USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C (offering 20 Gbps transfer speeds and fast charging). The overall aesthetic is fitting for a comfortable home environment, where RGB-laden gaming PCs can sometimes look out of place.

The Terra is offered up in three shades: Silver, Jade and Graphite - with its mostly aluminium construction sand blasted and anodized to give an intriguing textured look, with CNC-milled detailing. The front is comprised of an 8 mm-thick aluminium panel and a sliver of FSC-certified solid walnut. The case's truly dinky form factor (measuring 343 x 153 x 218 mm) can accommodate powerful GPUs up to 322 mm in length, as well as SFX and SFX-L format PSU models. A pair of SSDs can be installed internally via dedicated 2.5" drive mounts - there is only space for one storage unit if the user configures their Terra with a longer (SFX-L) power supply.

Realtek has decided to take consumer Ethernet speeds to a new level later this year with a family of 5 Gbps parts that are unlike anything its competitors have announced so far. The RTL8126-CG PCIe 3.0 x1 controller is a tiny QFN56 chip that measures 8 by 8 millimetres and consumes up to 1.7 Watt in use. This is unheard of when it comes to 5 Gbps solutions today, most of which are based on cut-down 10 Gbps chips. Realtek has verified the RTL8126-CG with stacked connectors for motherboards, as this was a requirement from the motherboard vendors. This solution should be available on most of the boards that were announced at Computex with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet support.

The company also has the RTL8251B-CG single port PHY which comes in the same packaging and same size as the PCIe controller. It's intended for use in 5 Gbps switches and should help bring down the cost, power consumption and thermals. Finally Realtek was showing off the RTL8157-CG, which is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) based 5 Gbps Ethernet bridge, which comes in a slightly different QFN68 package, but still apparently measures 8 by 8 millimetres. This one is expected to launch sometime in Q4 of this year. All three solutions are capable of delivering 5 Gbps Ethernet over Cat 5e cables of up to a 100 meter in length. We weren't given an exact price point of these solutions, but it sounded like the RTL8126-CG should end up at US$5 or less, which should be compared to at least US$20-30 for most similar solutions in the market today. It looks like the market for faster Ethernet is really getting interesting and Realtek is apparently planning a 10 Gbps solution for next year.

Chinese InnoGrit has proved to be something of a competent contender in the high-end SSD controller market and at Computex 2023 the company was displaying an early sample of its upcoming IG5666 consumer focused PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD controller. At the moment the company has taped out the controller, but aren't happy with the physical size of the chip and will be doing another tape out for a more optimised chip. Innogrit is using a 16 nm node for the controller, which might be part of the reason why they're having a hard time to get it the right size, but there's also cost reasons that have to be taken into consideration.

Based on the early samples, InnoGrit is expecting it to reach sequential speeds of up to 14 GB/s read and 11 GB/s write. Random performance is said to reach 3 million read and 2.5 million write IOPs. The controller should support up to 16 TB of NAND flash and it supports all common types of NAND up to a speed of 2400 MT/s. The IG5666 is based on the same Tacoma architecture as InnoGrit's IG5669, which is targeting enterprise use, yet delivers similar performance.

Antec at the 2023 Computex showed off the NeoECO line of performance-segment PSUs that offer ATX 3.0 spec readiness, and native 600 W 12VHPWR connectors. The series comes in 850 W, 1000 W, and 1300 W variants, each with full modular cabling, and a segment-best 10-year warranty. These feature a single +12 V rail design with 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency, active PFC, DC-to-DC switching, and most common electrical protections. All three models are 14 cm long (even the 1300 W), and use 120 mm FDB fans to keep cool. All three models offer one 12VHPWR connector, two 4+4 pin EPS, and while the 850 W model gives you six 6+2 pin PCIe power, the others give you eight.

At the 2023 Computex, FSP showed us their CUT592 ATX mid-tower case designed for easy cable routing. Its core design innovation sees the right-side wall of the bottom partition pushed to the edge, with openings into the crawl-space behind the motherboard tray, minimizing at least one tight bend from the PSU cables from pushing against the right side panel. Also, not the entire motherboard tray has a crawl space, it's been recessed toward the front portion such that two 120 mm fans fit in there (from a 240 mm AIO), better utilizing that space. The case has been extensively tested with custom-design GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards to ensure clearance. The top- and front panels of the case each support 360 mm radiators. The front panel can be switched between a finer mesh and a coarser one. Front panel connectivity includes a 10 Gbps-capable USB 3.2 type-C port, besides type-A.

FSP at Computex showed off a handful of its PC cooling products, besides a large selection of high-end PSUs that it specializes in. The MX09 is a high-end dual aluminium fin-stack CPU air cooler. Although a dual fin-stack (D-type) cooler, the two fin-stacks are designed differently. The one on the left (facing the rear end of your case) has a recess toward the bottom, so it doesn't get impeded by elaborate rear I/O shrouds of today's motherboards.

The fin-stack on the right is full length, but its intake fan is a 120 mm and located towards the top, for maximum clearance with the memory. The fan between the two fin-stacks is a 140 mm conveyor. The fins feature a honeycomb bend arrangement for maximum airflow. The cooler uses 7 copper heatpipes that draw heat from the base, spreading it across the two fin-stacks. With its fans in place, the cooler has a height of 160 mm, so it should be compatible with quite a few mid-tower cases. The AP-series of AIO liquid CPU coolers comes in three models based on radiator size—AP42 (420 mm x 140 mm), AP36 (360 mm x 120 mm), and AP24 (240 mm x 120 mm). These use FSP's in-house dual-chamber pump design. Both the MX09 and AP-series support modern CPU socket types, including LGA1700, LGA1200, AM5, and AM4.

A recurring trend at Computex has been to market flagship Gen 5 NVMe SSDs and the cooling solutions required for them to reach their potential, as separate products. MSI showed off its flagship Spatium M570 PRO Gen 5 NVMe SSD that's capable of sequential transfer speeds as high as 14 GB/s. The company demoed a single drive posting 14520 MB/s reads and 12409 MB/s writes on CDM, when paired with its FROZR+ active fan-heatsink. An add-on card with two M.2 Gen 5 slots, and two of these M570 PRO drives in RAID with FROZR passive heatsinks, posts 22024 MB/s reads with 23130 MB/s writes as measured by CDM.

The Spatium FROZR+ cooling solution uses an extruded aluminium monoblock heatsink to which a C-shaped heatpipe spreads heat drawn from the drive. This heatsink is ventilated by what looks like a 40 mm version of MSI's TorX 5.0 fan with a webbed impeller that's designed to guide all of its airflow axially. MSI claims that the FROZR+ cooler reduces controller temperatures by up to 30°C. The Spatium FROZR is a passive cooling solution that uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink to which heat drawn from the SSD is fed by two 6 mm heatpipes. MSI claims this thing can lower controller temperatures by up to 20°C. Look at the sizes of cooling solutions for Gen 5 NVMe SSDs in general (across brands), we wonder why AIC SSDs with VGA-grade cooling solutions aren't making a comeback.

MSI at the 2023 Computex showed off its upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming X graphics card. The RTX 4060 is already announced, which is why the company is putting the cards up for display. The RTX 4060 Gaming X debuts an all new compact generation Gaming X Twin Frozr 9 cooling solution, along with TorX Fan 5.0. The RTX 4060 has a TGP of just 109 W, which makes the cooler look plenty for the job. The RTX 4060 Ventus 2X is the company's cost-effective RTX 4060 custom design, and from the looks of it, the card's cooler uses an aluminium monoblock heatsink that's ventilated by a pair of TorX 4.0 fans. Again, plenty for this TGP class. You also get idle fan-stop.

At the 2023 Computex, DeepCool showed off the Morpheus, a highly flexible ATX full-tower case that can be internally re-configured between a spacious single-chamber layout and a dual-chamber that serves up room for additional liquid-cooling gear. The way this works, is that in single-chamber mode, the motherboard tray is pushed closer to the right-side panel, with just enough crawl-space for cable routing, and a spacious motherboard tray that serves up room for a tall and thick graphics card installed conventionally (horizontally). You also get plenty of room for tall air CPU coolers. In this configuration, the bottom portion is partitioned off, and it holds the PSU and some drive bays.

In the dual-chamber mode, the motherboard tray is pushed away from the right side panel, creating a large area for elaborate DIY liquid cooling setups, and a PSU tilted sideways, while the bottom portion is absorbed into the motherboard tray. You're supposed to orient your graphics card vertically, and use liquid cooling for your CPU. In practice, this involves two sets of motherboard trays that are included with the case, and quite a bit of tool-free remodeling of the case's insides. In both modes, you get plenty of fan spots, including at least two rows of 140 mm fans.

During Computex 2023, EK Water Blocks, a company known for making all kinds of liquid cooling solutions, showed off a concept case in partnership with InWin. Called 977EK, the concept case is a pre-production model that centers around the idea of a brushed aluminium shell combined with tempered glass panels. The case is made out of the internal structure, and for the outside, the two brushed aluminium sheets meet in the back and at the bottom of the case, removing the visible lines of the 4 mm thick aluminium sheets meeting, improving aesthetics. On the sides, the case carries two tempered glass panels held by thumb screws in the corners. An odd shape perforates the top part of the aluminium sheet.

The internal structure is interesting, as the case is built for water cooling of the system. While the motherboard tray can support any format from Mini-ITX to E-ATX, the tray itself can be rotated, reversed, and removed entirely based on user preference. For radiator setup, the 977EK concept case can accommodate up to 420 mm radiators with 45 mm thickness at both the top and bottom of the chassis. Additionally, the case has support for 350 mm GPU, 7 or 8 PCIe slots (depending on the configuration), a PSU of 160 mm length, and an option for either one 3.5-inch drive bay or two 2.5-inch bays. The final production case will see some changes, as EK notes; however, they won't be too significant.

Team Group unveiled its mighty Team Xtreem DDR5 memory for overclocking, at the 2023 Computex. These modules are designed such that their PCBs are shorter than their height, and instead of cramming RGB LEDs on top, the 2 mm-thick aluminium heat spreader turns into an extruded heatsink. Some of the higher speed versions of these run at DRAM voltages as high as 1.45 V, so the heatsink design should come in handy. The T-Force Xtreem comes in speeds ranging between DDR5-6400 and DDR5-8266, and in capacities ranging from 16 GB (2x 8 GB), going all the way up to 96 GB (2x 48 GB). The T-Force Xtreem RGB has an additional design element in the form of an acrylic RGB LED diffuser, although from the looks of it, this acrylic bit seems to be covering the fins of the heat spreader. It comes in the same speed-based and capacity based variants, as the regular Xtreem DDR5.

There has been no shortage of various SSD coolers to date, but none seems to have implemented a blower fan as yet. Well, Akasa decided that it was a product that was needed in the market and was showing off its Gecko Turbo Cooler at Computex. The heatsink part of the cooler is dwarfed by the blower fan that sits on top of it, making for a rather amusing looking device. As to the noise level, we can only guess, as it wasn't plugged in, but blower fans don't tend to be the quietest fans around. That said, it's likely to bring the best airflow of any M.2 SSD cooler to date, even though it might be a tad excessive, even for PCIe 5.0 SSDs.

Akasa might be the most well known third party housing manufacturer for Intel's NUC series of devices, most of which offer passive cooling and full aluminium construction. At Computex, Akasa was showing off its Cypher X133 which the company has been selling to system integrators for some time already, but there hasn't been a public announcement. The reason for keeping this product on the low is because it's using a low profile, server grade liquid cooling solution which takes some skill to install in the compact chassis. That said, the entire internals slide out on rails, which should make most parts much easier to access than in a typical chassis this size.

Even though it's a compact chassis, it can house an NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card, in addition to the NUC 13 Extreme, which is no small feat. That said, the width limit sits at 3.9 slots for the GPU, so some custom models with wider coolers might not work. The chassis is very much a premium product with a very nice finish that is easily comparable to high-end notebooks. Hopefully Akasa will figure out a way to make a more DIY friendly version of this chassis, although it's possible that the price tag will be too high for this to make sense as a DIY build.

Thermaltake has unveiled a whole new range of Toughpower SFX power supplies at the Computex 2023 show in Taipei. Since smaller SFF builds are becoming quite popular these days, it does not come as a surprise that Thermaltake is pushing this PSU form-factor to a whole new level. Thermaltake is not a stranger when it comes to SFX power supplies but its current Toughpower SFX Gold lineup will be expanded with new higher output models and given an ATX 3.0 specification, and it is introducing the new Toughpower SFX Platinum series.

The Thermaltake Toughpower SFX Gold lineup was already available in 450 W, 550 W, 650 W, and 750 W versions, but now, Thermaltake is bringing new 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, which are all compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature a native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. The Toughpower SFX Gold 750 W and 850 W models will use a standard SFX form-factor, while the 1000 W model will be based on a slightly longer SFX-L form factor. The star of the PSU show is the Toughpower SFX Platinum series, also coming in 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, and as the name suggests, these have 80 Plus Platinum efficiency. The Toughpower SFX Platinum will also be compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature the same native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. Both the Toughpower SFX Gold and the Toughpower SFX Platinum series are bundled with SFX to ATX adapter bracket. We expect them both in retail/e-tail soon.

During the Computex 2023 show, ASUS had some interesting designs to showcase. Specifically, ASUS has made a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU concept without an external power connector. With NVIDIA's reference 16-pin power connector melting due to an insufficient connection, ASUS has decided to experiment by removing the connector from its GPU and placing the power source as an extra bus connector on the motherboard. Called GeForce RTX 4070 Megalodon, ASUS has made a custom power connector that goes hand-in-hand with the ASUS TUF Gaming Z790 BTF motherboard that supports this connector, and the PSU cables go on the backside of the board.

Similarly to NVIDIA's 16-pin 12VHPWR connector, this custom design is also rated for up to 600 Watts of power delivery. This results in a design that facilities the user error of not correctly pushing the 16-pin connector and causing melting. For now, the connector is referred to as GC_HPWR, but there will be an official name at launch as the company plans mass production of this concept. You can see the design of the RTX 4070 Megalodon alongside the accompanying ASUS TUF Gaming Z790 BTF motherboard.

At the 2023 Computex, we caught CORSAIR's flagship PC memory line, the DOMINATOR Titanium DDR5 series. These are built to, well, dominate the overclocking and benchmark records scene, and come in several high-speed models, such as DDR5-8000 and DDR5-8266, and capacities as high as 192 GB (4x 48 GB kits). The company also has a limited batch of 500 "First Edition" kits, which feature a gold-on-white color scheme, and the company's highest grade of manual binning.

A defining feature about the DOMINATOR Titanium DDR5 series is their heat spreader design, which consists of 2 mm-thick aluminium making contact with the DRAM chips, which connect to an upper copper heatsink with RGB LEDs studded. The edges of the top have mount-holes, so a set of 2 or 4 of these DIMMs can be bolted onto the company's latest DHX cooling module. This is essentially a chunky slab of anodized aluminium that soaks up and dissipates heat from the DIMMs, and has slats that let the RGB lighting through. CORSAIR is backing these with lifetime warranties, and plans to launch them in July 2023.

At the 2023 Computex, ASRock special co-branded editions of GLORIOUS PC Gaming Race gaming peripherals, G.Skill memory, and FSP power supplies. This are essentially variants of popular GLORIOUS peripherals, such as the Model D mouse, GMMK 2 and GMMK PRO gaming keyboards; FSP Hydro PTM X Pro series power supplies, and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 memory, with ASRock Phantom Gaming co-branding. As part of the co-branding, these products get the distinctive red-on-black color scheme characteristic of the Phantom Gaming brand. The products will be marketed by their respective brands, but the PG co-branding allows boutique system-builders to build brand-purist gaming PC builds.

GIGABYTE is exhibiting cutting-edge technologies and solutions at COMPUTEX 2023, presenting the theme "Future of COMPUTING". From May 30th to June 2nd, GIGABYTE is showcasing over 110 products that are driving future industry transformation, demonstrating the emerging trends of AI technology and sustainability, on the 1st floor, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1.

L0401a from May 30th to June 2nd, 2023.

For those relying on their ISP for their router, Askey might have good news for you, as the company had a pair of WiFi 7 routers destined for ISPs on display at Computex. The first model might see some retail brand, as it's a bog standard WiFi 7 router based on Qualcomm hardware. It sports no less than three radios with a combined data rate of 18.6 Gbps, although broken down per radio, that's 1,376 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 5,765 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 11,530 Mbps on the 6 GHz band using a 320 MHz wide channel, all radios being 4x4. It also sports a pair of 10 Gbps, one for WAN and one for LAN and an additional three 2.5 Gbps ports. Other features include mesh support, Bluetooth/ZigBee support and remote management for ISPs.

The second model is for ISPs only and is based on a solution as it's using XGSPON to connect towards the internet. It too gets a 10 Gbps WAN side port, but the integrated switch is only Gigabit. The WiFi 7 radios are configured identically to the model above, but Askey has added support for DECT as well as two VoIP ports on this model, requirements that some ISPs have. It's unclear when either device would hit the market, but it's a first sign that WiFi 7 products shouldn't be too far away.

TPU managed to get an early sneak peek of MaxLinear's recently announced 8-port 2.5 Gbps switch IC, ahead of Computex official start tomorrow. The MXL86280 is going to bring some serious competition to the 2.5 Gbps switch market, as thanks to it being a single chip solution that integrates the Ethernet MAC and PHY, costs can be kept lower than competing two chip solutions that have a separate MAC and PHY. Although we weren't giving exact pricing, we were told that the MXL86280 should allow for more affordable 2.5 Gbps switches than those available in the market today, but not quite as affordable as the equivalent Gigabit switch.

MaxLinear also appears to have been fortunate with their chip design, as everything was working at the first tape-out, which is less common than you'd think when it comes to advanced chips The MXL86280 will be the first in what is expected to be a series of 2.5 Gbps switch solutions from MaxLinear, as the company is planning to release 5- and 6-port solutions in the future, which the company is hoping to win business in the router market space with. The test board that the company will have on display during Computex also features a pair of 2.5 Gbps SFP+ ports, which should be ideal for those with older 2.5 Gbps routers, cable modems or GPON equipment that only has fibre outputs. That said, the exact design of retail products might differ, so we'll have to wait and see what kind of products launch next year based on the MXL86280.

ASRock, a global leader in motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, and small form factor PCs, is excited to announce its participation in the upcoming COMPUTEX Taipei 2023 after years of anticipation. ASRock will showcase a range of breathtaking innovative products and highly anticipated technology demonstrations. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the ASRock latest products and solutions firsthand; also, get the immersive gaming experience at ASRock booth.

Unveiling the Next-Gen ASRock Monitors
ASRock is set to showcase an exciting lineup of monitors at COMPUTEX 2023, featuring six existing products along with new gaming and business models. The spotlight will be on the PG558KF and PG32UMF, two high-end monitors.

MaxLinear, Inc., a global leader in wired network solutions, today announced it is deepening its commitment to expanding its next-gen Ethernet portfolio with a new line of 2.5G Ethernet products. The family is comprised of new 2.5G Ethernet switches and eight port 2.5G Enterprise PHYs. The chipsets will anchor MaxLinear's already robust Ethernet portfolio - which includes 10/100, 1G, and 2.5G bridges, PHYs and switches. MaxLinear will demonstrate the new 2.5G solutions at Computex 2023, May 30 - June 2, 2023 in Taipei, Taiwan.

The demand for more robust Ethernet products is growing as 2.5G speeds expand into enterprise, retail, and industrial single and multiport applications, and more PCs offer 2.5G Ethernet ports. With new access technologies like xGPON and new Wi-Fi standards increasing the demand for higher LAN bandwidth, gigabit Ethernet is giving way to 2.5G Ethernet which can extend the bandwidth over existing CAT5e cable infrastructure by a factor of 2.5 comparatively. According to 2022 research by Allied Market Research, the global ethernet switch market was valued at $17.2 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $26.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2022 to 2031. The rising demand for effective network infrastructure for varied application requirements is expected to contribute to this growth.
