COMPUTEX 2025 is yet to kick-off, and GIGABYTE didn’t just show up—it brought the whole kitchen sink, repainted it white, packed it with AI, and called it LEADING EDGE. From desktop-class supercomputers in shoebox-sized enclosures to AI assistants that help you write code, GIGABYTE’s announcements this year weren’t just incremental—they signalled a full-blown pivot into the AI-powered future. Here’s everything GIGABYTE had on display.
AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX and AI TOP ATOM
Kicking things off was the AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX, an external GPU enclosure built for those who want desktop-class GPU muscle on a laptop. Powered by NVIDIA’s top-tier RTX 5090 and connected via Thunderbolt 5, this eGPU isn’t just for gaming. GIGABYTE is pitching it as an AI companion, ready to chew through creation workflows and machine learning inference tasks. Compared to the previous-gen RTX 4090 Gaming Box, GIGABYTE claims up to 3.1x performance gains.
Then there’s the AI TOP ATOM—essentially a miniaturised AI supercomputer for your desk. It runs on the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GB10 Superchip (also known as DGX SPARK), and it’s designed to locally run large AI models, even those with hundreds of billions of parameters. You can fine-tune models with 70B or 200B parameters out of the box, and if you’re feeling ambitious, cluster them together to hit 405B. All that, and you still get to keep your data local—no sending sensitive stuff to the cloud.
GiMATE: Your New Best Friend
Hardware’s only half the story. GIGABYTE also rolled out AI TOP Utility 4.0, a software suite that makes it easy to run machine learning models on your own devices. It supports image classification, object detection, segmentation, and OCR, and it can handle inference tasks for models with up to 685 billion parameters. There’s also a Model Converter, which simplifies deploying those models across different devices—ideal if you’re juggling edge and cloud infrastructure.
But perhaps the more accessible innovation is GiMATE. Think of it as your built-in AI assistant on GIGABYTE laptops—specifically, on the AORUS MASTER, AERO, and GAMING series machines. You can talk to it using “press and speak,” use it to enhance your productivity, or lean on the GiMATE Creator to help with content workflows.
This year, GiMATE also learned to code. Literally. GiMATE Coder is a new feature designed to help beginners write code using prompt-based commands—very much in the style of GitHub Copilot, but local and tuned for the GIGABYTE ecosystem. It made its debut on the new GAMING A16 PRO, GAMING A18, and the all-purpose AERO X16 laptops.
AI-Enhanced Gaming Monitors
It’s not just PCs getting the AI treatment—GIGABYTE’s new monitor lineup is full of features aimed at giving gamers a tactical edge. These include:
- M27UP and M27UP ICE: Both offer 4K resolution at 160 Hz, with an option to switch down to Full HD at 320 Hz using Tactical Dual Mode.
- MO27Q28G: A 280 Hz Meta 3.0 WOLED panel that promises high contrast and silky motion clarity.
- M27QS: A smart monitor with AI-tuned visuals.
There are also other models boasting refresh rates from 200 Hz all the way up to 500 Hz. Whether you’re playing competitive shooters or just want everything to feel buttery smooth, GIGABYTE’s got something lined up.
What’s new is how GIGABYTE’s AI features are being baked directly into the monitors: things like AI Tactical Features (enhanced visibility), AI-Optimised Visuals (adaptive image tuning), and AI Protection (eye care tech and beyond). It goes without saying that most of these features have existed in monitors for quite some time without any AI involvement.
Motherboards: X3D Turbo Mode 2 and Ultra Turbo Mode
GIGABYTE’s X870 X3D motherboards (including MASTER, PRO, and ELITE X3D ICE models) are designed to make overclocking and performance tuning a thing of the past—because now, AI does it for you. The new X3D Turbo Mode 2 automatically pushes your system up to 35% faster, adapting on the fly depending on what you’re doing. No BIOS tweaks, no stress.
Over on the Intel side, the Z890 motherboards bring Ultra Turbo Mode, offering up to 38% performance gains. These improvements aren’t just theoretical—they’re meant to translate into real-world gains in memory bandwidth, AI workloads, and heavy multitasking.
For enthusiasts, the Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE stood out. It set a world record in memory speed, thanks to AI-assisted overclocking features that tweak everything in real time. For those who enjoy tinkering but also want results, this board delivers both.
The STEALTH ICE Series
A big part of GIGABYTE’s design push this year comes under the STEALTH ICE branding. This includes:
- X870 AORUS STEALTH ICE and B850 AORUS STEALTH ICE motherboards
- AORUS RTX 5090 STEALTH ICE GPU
- C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH ICE chassis
These are aimed at builders who want ultra-clean setups. The reverse-connector layout shifts all the cables to the back of the motherboard tray, helping eliminate visual clutter. Combined with a minimalist white aesthetic, this makes for a very sleek build—something creators and modders alike will appreciate.
GIGABYTE Is All-In on AI
What’s clear from COMPUTEX 2025 is that GIGABYTE isn’t treating AI as a tacked-on feature. It’s now core to the design philosophy across its entire portfolio—from laptops and desktops to software and peripherals. This year’s theme, LEADING EDGE, wasn’t just marketing fluff. The company is betting big on a future where AI is local, responsive, and integral to how we use our PCs.
Whether you’re building a gaming rig, deploying edge inference models, or just want a laptop that can help you code, GIGABYTE now has a product that fits the brief—and does it with style.
Computex 2025 is running from Tuesday, May 20 to Friday, May 23, 2025 and Digit will be on ground covering COMPUTEX 2025. Head to Digit’s Computex 2025 Hub to see the latest announcements from COMPUTEX as they happen.
