ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the latest version of its critically acclaimed Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop, now featuring an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. With a built-in NPU for AI-accelerated tasks and a dedicated NVIDIA GPU, the latest Zephyrus G16 stands ready for any scenario, from gaming to productivity and more—all in an ultra-sleek thin-and-light package.

Zephyrus enters the era of AI computing
We're entering a new era of computing, with artificial intelligence at its center—and ROG is charging ahead with the new Zephyrus G16, now a true AI PC thanks to its AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. With 12 cores, 24 threads, a built-in AMD Ryzen AI XDNA 2 NPU capable of 50 TOPS of AI performance, along with 31 TOPS from the CPU and its integrated Radeon 890M graphics, the new Zephyrus G16 stands ready for enhancing productivity in AI-enabled applications, including powerful Windows Copilot tools.

In addition to the new Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs and Ryzen AI 300 series mobile CPUs, as well as the new Ryzen 5000XT series AM4 socket desktop CPUs and updates to the AMD Instinct AI GPU roadmap, AMD rather silently announced the new Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot workstation graphics card at the Computex 2024. While not a completely new product, as it is just a model update of the currently available flagship Radeon PRO W7900 workstation graphics card, it is still a rather important update since AMD managed to squeeze it into a dual-slot design, which gives it support for multi-GPU setups.

As said, the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot still uses the same Navi 31 GPU with 96 Compute Units (CUs), 96 Ray Accelerators, 192 AI Accelerators, and 6144 Stream Processors, as well as 48 GB of GDDR6 ECC memory on a 384-bit memory interface, giving it maximum memory bandwidth of 864 GB/s. It still needs 2x8-pin PCIe power connectors and has a Total Board Power (TBP) of 295 W. The card still comes with three DisplayPort 2.1 and one Enhanced Mini DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. What makes the new Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot special is the fact that AMD managed to get it down to a dual-slot design, even with the same blower-fan cooler. Unfortunately, it is not clear if the fan or its profiles are different, but it does make it suitable to be used in multi-GPU configurations.

In addition to new PC cases, Phanteks brought several new cooling products to the Computex 2024 show, including a whole new NEXLINQ cooling system, Glacier EZ-Fit series of liquid cooling components and kits, as well as a rather interesting fan prototype that will hopefully find its way to the market.

The big part of the Phanteks showcase was the NEXLINQ, a set of cooling components, or an ecosystem as Phanteks likes to describe it, which includes the M25 G2 fans, Glacier One M25 G2 AIO, and a NEXLINQ Hub. The NEXLINQ and components will feature support for the whole new LINQ-6 connector that will be able to provide both power and D-RGB lighting to the fans.

NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction maximizes frame rates on GeForce RTX GPUs, and renders more immersive and realistic ray-traced effects and lighting in games using AI.

Phanteks took the Computex 2024 show by force, showing off several new and improved cases, including the new Evolv X², the Eclipse G400A and G400N, which are successors to the P400 line, upgraded NV5 MKII and NV9 MKII cases, and the new Enthoo Pro II Server Edition XL case for the server market.

The star of the show is definitely the new Evolv X², a case that Phanteks says is redefined to fit modern consumer needs. It certainly has the modern and refined aesthetic to appeal to the wider audience, with brushed aluminium interior panels and full front to side glass panel. Some of the key features include integrated cable management, key fan positions to cool down and show off most hardware components, as well as support for rear-connector mainboard, something that most modern motherboards will have.

While wandering through the Computex showrooms, our little spies spotted something interesting at the ASRock stand: an extensive lineup of motherboards built around the AMD X870 and X870E chipsets. The six models from the ASRock, Pro, Steel, Phantom Gaming, and the legendary Taichi families support the latest AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors. We had the opportunity to see them live on display and rushed to present them one by one, complete with pictures and main specifications.Now we're going to look further in detail:

At Computex 2024, ASUS unveiled major updates to its popular laptop lineups, designed for the "Copilot+" era of AI computing. The first is the Zenbook S16 is a premium 16-inch laptop series powered by AMD's latest Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processors with dedicated AI acceleration. Remarkably, ASUS has managed to pack this high-performance silicon into an ultra-portable 1.1 cm thin chassis weighing just 1.5 kg. The Zenbook S16 integrates AMD's new NPU capable of a 50 TOPS of AI compute for accelerating AI/ML workloads. The centerpiece is the laptop's stunning 16-inch 3K OLED display made with ASUS Lumina technology. It offers 100% vibrant DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, a blazing-fast 120 Hz refresh rate with 0.2 ms response time, and up to 600 nits brightness. ASUS paired this premium visual experience with a six-speaker audio system for an immersive multimedia experience.

Two new ASUS TUF series laptop models (TUF A14 and TUF A16) come out of the dark at Computex, making use of AMD Ryzen AI 9 CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 4000 GPUs. The ultraslim chassis of ASUS TUF Gaming A14 weighs merely 1.46 kg with a thickness of 1.69 cm, and features a 14" 16:10 up to 2.5K 165 Hz @ 3 ms 400 nits display with NVIDIA G-Sync support. Powered by the latest AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor with 50 TOPS NPU, and with another hefty helping hand from NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU with 233 TOP of AI performance, dual-channel LPDDR5X RAM, a 73 Whr battery, and 2x M2.2280 SSD slots makes it an interesting option for gamers looking after a light and thin laptop.

The bigger brother, TUF A16 have the same AMD Ryzen 9 CPU but comes with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 321 TOPS, a 16" 100% sRGB display with 90% screen-to-body ratio, dual-channel LPDDR5X 7500 MHz memory, USB 4.0 ports, and dual 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans with full-width heatsink (170 W combined max wattage).

ASUS presented updated versions of its Vivobook S super slim laptops, the highest specs for each of them featuring the latest AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Intel Core Ultra 9, and Snapdragon X Elite processors making sure it covers all possible user preferences. Of course, as now the trend is AI, all Vivobook S 14, S 15, and S16 models have a Copilot key while keeping the same sleek, light, and thin design. Vivobook S 14 is up to 1.3 kg light and 13.9 mm thin, the S 15 starts at 1.42 kg and 14.7 mm thin, while the bigger Vivobook S 16 starts with 1.5 kg weight and 13.9 mm height.

The display is a 3K (3.2K for S 16) 120 Hz 16:10 OLED offering vivid and accurate colors. The battery is rated at 75 Wh with a side note on the Vivobook S 15 model powered by Snapdragon that offers over 18 hours of battery life. Worth mentioning the use of ASUS IceCool Thermal Technology with dual fans (S 16 sporting also dual vents). These newly launched Vivobook S models come with Windows 11 Home, feature RGB ErgoSense keyboard and touchpad with ASUS Smart Gesture control, up to 32 GB RAM (up to 16 GB RAM for S 14 with Intel Core Ultra 9), up to 1 TB PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD internal storage, full I/O ports, an audio jack, and MicroSD card reader.

The new ASUS ROG Delta II gaming headset was easily spotted on display at Computex since it features "almost" the same design that gamers worldwide know from the popular ROG Delta series. However, things look exciting if we go into details because ASUS promises that this new gaming headset will offer us "incredible audio immersion" via its 50 mm titanium-plated diaphragm drivers, and refined wireless sound with powerful deep bass and clear, crisp highs.

Connectivity-wise, it offers anything we need, Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz (ROG SpeedNova wireless technology with ultra-low latency), and 3.5 mm wired, while the battery life tops at 110 hours (with RGB lightning off). A more than useful addition to ROG Delta II gaming headset is the DualFlow Audio technology that allows users to simultaneously listen to audio sources from two connected 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth devices, or switch between in-game conversation and mobile calls. ROG Delta II weights 315 grams, features a detachable 10 mm super-wideband microphone, and comes with two types of ear cushions. ASUS ROG Delta II will be available from Q3 2024.

ASUS seems to tease gamers with "extremes", this being the case for its new ROG Azoth Extreme gaming keyboard that will hit the shelves later this year. Featuring, under an aluminium alloy compact-size chassis with a metal frame a full-color OLED touchscreen, a carbon fiber positioning plate (better typing feel, acoustics and reduced keystroke vibrations), extended silicone wrist rest, magnetic feet, an adjustable gasket mount, this new addition to the ROG Azoth series possesses interesting qualities for gamers looking to get the best action.

The OLED touchscreen should not fool anyone, it is tiny but still perfectly capable to display system info or let gamers customize keyboard settings with the built-in three-way knob for instant adjustments. ASUS ROG Azoth Extreme gaming keyboard makes use of proprietary ASUS SpeedNova technology offering tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz RF, Bluetooth, Wired). The product will be available from Q3 2024 to complement the ASUS ROG Extreme family.

The new addition to the ASUS Republic Of Gamers Harpe Ace gaming mouse series, namely, ROG Harpe Ace Extreme has been showcased by ASUS at Computex 2024 and it fits rather well with the extreme naming. It uses a top shell made of carbon fiber composite, currently the strongest material of all gaming mice on the market. This makes the mouse more durable and less heavy, weighing only 47 grams. Underneath the carbon fiber shell, it sports a 42K DPI ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor, ROG Optical Micro Switches, and ROG SpeedNova wireless technology.

Moreover, ASUS claims that ROG Harpe Ace Extreme gaming mouse sets new click latency records thanks to ROG Polling Rate Booster technology being able to impressive rates such as 0.86 ms @ 1000 Hz, 0.7 ms @ 2000 Hz, 0.6 ms @ 4000 Hz, and 0.45 ms @ 8000 Hz. To improve movements we have two large mouse feet that are made out of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. A switch to select connectivity mode (Bluetooth, USB, Wireless), DPI, and pairing button are found on the mouse base. ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Extreme is expected to hit the markets in Q3 2024, no words about retail price yet.

German PC OEM Schenker, along with its two brands—XMG targeted at high-performance mobile workstations and gaming notebooks; and Tuxedo, targeting Linux-friendly notebooks; made a splash at the 2024 Computex. We visited their pullout booth. The EVO 14 is a 14-inch class performance notebook powered by choices of Intel Core Ultra 7 155H "Meteor Lake" or AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS "Hawk Point" mobile processors; an innovative new dual-fan cooling solution, with 65 W sustained power delivery, and an 80 Wh battery pack. The 14-inch display features a 16:10 aspect ratio, 400 nits brightness, and 3K resolution. Memory options go all the way up to 96 GB, and I/O includes either USB4 or Thunderbolt 4, depending on the hardware platform. The EVO 15 is almost identical in terms of specs, but with a larger 99.8 Wh battery, and a 15.3-inch 500 nits display, and a full-sized edge-to-edge keyboard.Update 07:03 UTC: We have some pricing and availability details from Schenker.

On Sunday, NVIDIA announced Project G-Assist, the AI chatbot for gamers that can be pulled up in the middle of the gameplay, and sought help from. You could just pause your game and Google for help, but G-Assist can be activated in game, and is situationally aware of your game (e.g.: it knows where you're stuck and how to help you out). It won't play the game for you, but give you actionable info on how to play, or improve. For example, you could ask it how to craft a particular weapon, and where to find the items needed in game, and get concise guidance. G-Assist also knows about your graphics card, framerates and other telemetry data.

We went hands-on with G-Assist, and found that it's very capable of doing the things NVIDIA claims it can, short of playing the game for you. They are showing a demo of ARK Survival, but the impressive part is that there's no integration of G-Assist in Ark—rather is runs as an injected overlay that can capture user input. This means that G-Assist can work in ANY game, even without official support. We also learned how G-Assist works under-the-hood, particularly how the chatbot is situationally aware of your game, and it's fascinating.

At NVIDIA's Computex 2024 booth, we got a quick look at the enthusiast-segment GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards and third-party PC cases that qualify for the company's new SFF-Ready market, which aims to incentivize building smaller enthusiast-segment graphics cards for the SFF crowd, and to try and arrest the runaway growth in the sizes of custom-design graphics cards. To qualify, a graphics card must be no larger than 304 mm x 151 mm x 50 mm (length x height x thickness), and for an SFF case to support such a card. Most of these cards and cases are already launched, and we're sure the standard will have some influence on the graphics card partners and case designers as NVIDIA heads towards its future GeForce RTX "Blackwell" generation.

GIGABYTE at the 2024 Computex announced the AI TOP ecosystem, a collection of first-party software services and hardware for consumer AI applications. On the software side of things, GIGABYTE announced sets of generative AI tools, and an AI chat assistant. The AI Top Utility is a local AI training utility that supports a wide range of generative AI models, while giving you a bird's eye view of the AI models being trained, and lets you control the system resources being allocated to them. It also provides real-time hardware monitoring of the whole DNN building and training operation.

The GIGABYTE AI TOP Tutor is an AI assistant trained by the company to provide real-time assistance on your hardware and software. New to configuring your hardware or fine-tuning the various software settings, ask the AI TOP Tutor in plain language, and it will assist you. The third piece of the AI puzzle for GIGABYTE is the AI TOP Hardware. This is a collection of PC hardware spanning motherboards, graphics cards, power supplies, chassis, and SSDs, which are certified by GIGABYTE to take on the rigors of AI acceleration.

GIGABYTE debuted its LCD Edge View display for showcasing real-time system information. Designed as a small and compact LCD display, it acts as a desktop-standing box capable of displaying critical system information like CPU and GPU temperatures, fan speeds of GPUs and CPU coolers, PC fans, as well as everything else happening inside of a PC. Interestingly, it isn't just a fixed-function display. It can show custom images/videos and display custom text, serving as a small display companion to the main monitor for users to look at occasionally or just monitor system health. The design of the LCD Edge View is to be a plug-and-play white box that could easily be positioned on any desktop, blending seamlessly with the user's setup.

It requires external power connection, and can be driven by any GPU/video output. It also features a USB port.

GIGABYTE at the 2024 Computex debuted its own standard of motherboards with backside I/O (i.e. ports and connectors located on the reverse side of the PCB). GIGABYTE is calling this brand extension "Stealth." It rivals ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero. One of the first products to implement it is an AMD Socket AM5 motherboard, the B650E AORUS Stealth Ice. Besides backside connectors, a large shroud dominates the board in such a way that only the CPU cooler, memory, and the graphics card stick out. GIGABYTE is claiming bragging rights to this being the world's first white PCB motherboard with backside connectivity (BSC). Given that most case manufacturers are getting friendly with BSC, and are carving out huge cutouts in their motherboard trays for broad compatibility with all proprietary BSC standards, the GIGABYTE Stealth should be generally compatible with these cases.

During Computex 2024, GIGABYTE unveiled its new "AI TOP" series designed to empower users to develop and run AI applications locally on their systems. The AI TOP lineup includes AI-optimized motherboards, graphics cards, and complete system solutions. The flagship motherboard is called TRX50 AI TOP, which boasts support for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 PRO and a regular series of CPUs. The flagship TRX50 AI TOP motherboard features a special VRM design with beefy heatsinks, four PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for quad-GPU setup, eight-channel DDR5 memory with room for eight DIMMs, and a few M.2 PCIe Gen 5 slots. Next in the AI TOP line is the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AI TOP edition. Formed as a blower-style cooler, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AI TOP is envisioned for tight spaces and parallel installation with other GPUs to accelerate local AI development and inference.

Supposedly, there will be more AI TOP motherboards and GPUs than what is showcased. GIGABYTE may have an AI TOP makeover for Intel's upcoming Z890 AORUS Xtreme, and there could be more GPUs in the future with the blower-style AI TOP design. The goal of AI TOP series is optimization for AI workloads, which require lots of GPUs and lots of memory, like the TRX50 AI TOP motherboard shows.

GIGABYTE in its Computex 2027 booth showcased a huge lineup of next-generation Socket LGA1851 motherboards based on the top Intel Z890 chipset, which are ready for Intel's Core Ultra "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors. GIGABYTE has taped out the motherboard model names, so all mentions of Z890 in this article are based on our assumption that it's the name of the next-gen Intel chipset. These chips are expected to bring generational IPC increases from their "Lion Cove" P-cores, "Skymont" E-cores, a more complete PCIe Gen 5 I/O (including for the CPU-attached NVMe slots), and other innovations. If the socket looks similar to the LGA1700, it's because it's identical in physical dimensions, and you can use your LGA1700 cooler on the LGA1851, but the processors are not inter-compatible. The company also showcased a few AMD Socket AM5 motherboards based on the new AMD X870E chipset.

The first motherboard to catch our eye is the Z890 AORUS Tachyon. This board is geared for record-seeking CPU overclocking. The processor is wired to just two DDR5 memory slots (1 DIMM per channel, the best configuration for memory OC); and the CPU-attached NVMe slots being close to the socket, with a combined heatsink. The only expansion slots are a PCI-Express 5.0 x16, and what could be a Gen 4 x8. There are plenty of overclocker-friendly controls, voltage measurement points, diagnostic LEDs, and status displays, scattered all over the board.

GIGABYTE showed off a trio of new or recently announced graphics cards based on the GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs. The lineup is led by the RTX 4080 SUPER AORUS Xtreme Ice, a limited edition, bleeding edge product that the company has serial numbered each card with. The card features some very premium materials in its board design that both look good and are very sturdy. The card also features GIGABYTE's highest factory overclock for the RTX 4080 SUPER.

Next up, is the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AI TOP. The company just announced the new AI TOP ecosystem of first-party generative AI tools, AI assistants, and hardware certified to accelerate AI, and this graphics card is one of them. It features a lateral-blower cooling solution. The idea behind this is so you could install many of these cards in a desktop or workstation to build a rendering or acceleration farm. The company also unveiled an AI TOP branded AMD TRX50 workstation motherboard, which should be a perfect pairing for this card. Lastly, there are a few recently announced cards, the RTX 4070 SUPER Eagle OC Ice, and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Gaming OC.
