Get a quick glimpse of the latest drops from multiple brands on our YouTube Shorts!
Head over to our playlist section for an easy way to catch up on all the newest arrivals in one go.


My first visit to COMPUTEX dates back to 2004—hard to believe it’s been 22 years since then.
Over the years, the tech industry has seen its ups and downs, from quieter periods to the explosive growth of the gaming era, and now the resurgence brought on by AI.
Through it all, COMPUTEX has stood as a witness to the ongoing evolution of technology and innovation.


Ever since NVIDIA sparked the AI trend during COMPUTEX 2023, the buzz around AI has remained strong.
Over the past two years, most brands have been working hard to align their new hardware and software with AI capabilities.
This year’s COMPUTEX 2025 carries the theme "AI NEXT", continuing the momentum from last year.
Once again, tech giants NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel are taking the stage in Taipei, with global media coverage driving excitement to new heights.

Even before the official opening of the show, many brands had already held their own product launch events.
In addition, there are numerous keynotes and technical forums happening throughout COMPUTEX.
Due to overlapping schedules, I was only able to attend a few of them.
One of the first highlights was Intel’s announcement of two new ARC Pro GPUs designed for workstations.
The ARC PRO B50 comes with 16GB of memory and is priced at $299 USD.
The higher-end ARC PRO B60 features 24GB of memory, and based on partner estimates, is expected to be priced between $500 and $1,000 USD.


On-site, Intel showcased a performance comparison between the ARC Pro B50 GPU and the NVIDIA RTX A1000.
Also on display was a sample of Panther Lake, which is currently expected to launch in early 2026. It may first debut in the laptop market.


At the Intel booth, several zones were dedicated to showcasing AI applications. One notable demo featured a 200HX series laptop running an interactive AI Game Play Coach developed by GGQ.
This tool provides real-time suggestions on gameplay strategy and player performance, offering helpful guidance during in-game scenarios.


A sofa design demo showcased how Adobe Substance 3D Sampler can convert real-world object images into realistic 3D PBR materials.
This approach significantly reduces the time and effort required compared to traditional material creation workflows.


The Face of Innovation AI photo booth allowed visitors to experiment with various appearance transformations and background styles.
After customizing their look, users could print their final image on the spot.
This year, software integration with AI is more widespread than ever, offering practical benefits for users with specific creative or functional needs.


This year, COMPUTEX attracted over 1,400 exhibitors for the first time.
With so many brands and new products showcased across the Nangang Exhibition Center, both visiting time and article length were limited.
Below, I’m sharing highlights from a few brands that personally caught my interest or took extra time to introduce their latest offerings during my visit.

First up is GIGABYTE & AORUS. Under the theme “LEADING EDGE”, GIGABYTE showcased a range of new AI solutions for gaming and content creation, aiming to accelerate AI adoption through upgraded hardware and software.

In the Ducky and sub-brand exhibition area, a wide range of products were showcased, including keyboards, mice, gaming chairs, PC cases, liquid cooling systems, and power supplies.
Each year, Ducky releases a unique, limited-edition keyboard inspired by the Chinese zodiac.
Last year’s model featured a lavish dragon-themed design.
This year, the spotlight is on the snake, incorporating totems of the Paiwan people—an Indigenous group in Taiwan—alongside the hundred-pacer viper motif, giving the keyboard’s appearance and backplate a strong cultural identity.


Additionally, Ducky also showcased a collaboration keyboard with Japanese VTuber group hololive.

The HAVN BF 360 case supports up to two 180mm fans on the front and top panels, suggesting significantly enhanced cooling potential within the chassis.


COMPUTEX 2025 saw a significant increase in the number of exhibitors compared to previous years, with booth spaces fully occupied even on the 4th floor of Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 2.
Due to a limited two-day visit, much of the exhibition could only be briefly explored, and some already-launched products are not covered in this article due to space constraints.
Key hardware highlights included motherboards and graphics cards featuring white color schemes, rear-connector designs, and new high-end AMD products.
Case designs emphasized rear-connector layouts, wider-angle glass panels, workstation applications, and creative aesthetics.
Gaming monitors focused on QD-OLED technology and ultra-high refresh rates between 500Hz and 600Hz, offering enhanced visual experiences.


Riding on the AI momentum of the past two years, COMPUTEX 2025 remained vibrant both inside and outside the venue.
Tech giants rallied behind their partners and fueled excitement with high-profile product launches and signings.
As in previous years, the exhibition featured a variety of debut products and upcoming releases set for later this year.
AI servers were a major highlight, including previews of models like the upcoming GB300.
The integration of hardware with AI software was showcased across a range of applications—robotics, healthcare, design, and gaming—demonstrating the expanding potential of AI technologies.
For the second consecutive year, COMPUTEX adopted AI as a sub-theme, reflecting its vast potential and wide-ranging applications.
We look forward to seeing even more advanced and user-friendly AI innovations in the near future.

In addition, I’m sharing a two-day visual recap of COMPUTEX through photos and short videos.
A great deal of time went into filming and editing, resulting in multiple Shorts videos that highlight a wide range of new product showcases.
There’s also a fun “Easter egg” clip titled "Here’s What I Actually Looked At", offering a behind-the-scenes look at the event.
Compared to photos, these videos bring the exhibition to life and offer a quicker, more immersive way to experience the excitement of COMPUTEX.

Computex, see you next year.

 

Fantastic write up again.

The cases while still batshit, can't touch last year's shark though...
But between the robot, the Inwin Dyson vacuum cleaner and the covalent Superchonky modern Corsair Carbide Spec 03, Its a pretty good showing...

I just hope that inwin Deee-Lite has a slide whistle when you turn it on!
And slides the other way when you hit the power button to turn it off.

 

Really liking the hidden GPU power connector that is starting to show up, with such short PCB's it seems such a logical move and helps reduce case clutter.

I will look at Montech fans next time I'm looking for some

 

Thank you for doing this every year.

I just always prefer this kind of summary and insight over watching the usual techtubers. Great read.

 

I know what I'm looking at

 

Some pretty hot cases there!
