Graphics & Compute Platforms ASRock unveiled the Radeon RX 9070 XT Phantom Gaming card, pairing the new GPU with a dual‑6‑pin 12 V power connector to meet the 250 W TDP of the chipset. At the same show, the company introduced the Taichi 360 Holo AIO, a 360 mm liquid cooler that integrates a 3‑D holographic fan for real‑time visual feedback, signaling ASRock’s push beyond motherboards into premium cooling solutions. Complementing the graphics push, FSP displayed a 3.3 kW “CANNON” PSU designed for AI workstations, featuring a 98% efficiency rating and modular cable set, underscoring the rising power demands of AI‑centric builds.

Power Delivery Across Segments Beyond high‑end workstations, Channel Well Technology launched 1.5 kW and 2 kW Platinum‑rated units aimed at inference PCs, marking its first foray into consumer‑facing power supplies after years as an OEM. Meanwhile, HAVN’s XR series offered 1 000 W and 1 200 W Platinum models with a 10‑year warranty, targeting enthusiasts who combine multiple GPUs and overclocked CPUs. Wentai’s AiBARZA Aldan‑D1515 achieved the inaugural Cybenetics Diamond certification by maintaining 95% continuous efficiency at 1 200 W, positioning it as the most efficient retail PSU on the market.

Cooling Innovations Cryorig presented a semi‑passive case with 13 HDD bays and an integrated low‑noise pump, while its new H6 CPU cooler expanded the brand’s active air lineup with a 150 mm dual‑fan design that claims a 30% noise reduction over the previous model. Deep Cool added several 240 mm and 360 mm AIOs featuring a new micro‑fin radiator that delivers a 12% thermal improvement without increasing pump speed, catering to builders seeking higher overclock headroom. Akasa’s fanless chassis line showcased aluminum‑alloy frames with passive heat‑pipe arrays, targeting silent‑PC markets where airflow noise is a primary concern.

Memory & Storage Advances GeIL introduced CAMM2 and LPCAMM2 modules, delivering up to 64 GB per stick with DDR5‑5600 speeds and a 1.2 TB/s bandwidth, aimed at compact workstations and edge AI devices. V‑Color’s Xfinity+ OLED Manta combined DDR5‑6000 performance with an on‑module OLED matrix that can display system stats in real time, blurring the line between hardware and user interface. Team Group’s T‑Force Liquid II M.2 Gen 5 SSD incorporated a self‑contained liquid loop, achieving 9 800 MB/s sequential reads while keeping junction temperature below 45 °C under load.

Case & AIO Ecosystems Raidmax’s LA360 Digital and LA240 Digital AIOs featured 1.8 inch LCD panels that show CPU temperature, fan curves, and clock speeds, providing a visual telemetry hub directly on the radiator. FPMAX revealed its Apex series cases with modular front panels and upgraded AIO mounting brackets that support 420 mm radiators, reflecting a trend toward larger cooling footprints in mid‑tower designs. Gamdias emphasized an “augmented immersion” theme, unveiling PSUs up to 1 500 W with RGB‑sync cables and a new line of tempered‑glass cases with integrated cable routing channels.

eGPU & External Graphics Sparkle’s eGPU Studio‑G Ultra 850 arrived with a 850 W internal PSU and a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot capable of housing up to an RTX 5090, targeting creators who need workstation‑class GPU power on laptops. The enclosure’s dual‑fan vapor‑chamber cooling system claims a 15% reduction in GPU temperature compared with competing models, making it viable for sustained 4K rendering sessions.

Display Technology HKC’s Shield C83U60 monitor measured 83.4 inches with a 4K @ 120 Hz panel and a built-in USB‑C hub delivering 90 W power delivery, positioning it as a one‑stop solution for large‑format workstations and digital signage. The display also supports HDR 400 and a 1 ms gray‑to‑gray response, appealing to both gamers and professional editors seeking low latency on a massive screen.

Edge AI & Storage Longsys showcased its AIDIMM and AILPBGA products, integrating AI inference accelerators directly onto DDR5 DIMMs, promising up to 2 TFLOPs of on‑memory compute for real‑time analytics at the edge. The company’s edge AI storage platform combined NVMe‑tiered flash with built‑in Tensor cores, reducing data movement latency by 40% for AI workloads in autonomous vehicles and smart factories.

Quantum Computing Updates Microsoft, Atom Computing, and Eero Q each released progress reports: Microsoft highlighted a 512‑qubit superconducting processor with a 0.8% error rate, Atom announced a photonic chip achieving 1.2 GHz entanglement rates, and Eero Q demonstrated a room‑temperature quantum annealer with 256 qubits, indicating accelerated diversification of quantum hardware approaches.

Automotive Battery Repurposing Used Waymo robotaxi battery packs, originally rated at 70 kWh each, are being refurbished for grid‑scale storage, adding roughly 1.5 GWh of capacity to projects in California and Texas, a move that extends the economic life of autonomous‑vehicle batteries while supporting renewable integration.

Streaming & Capture Solutions AVer Media introduced the Multi Studio Core GC750, a 4‑channel HDMI capture device with built‑in hardware encoding that supports 8‑K @ 30 fps recording and live streaming to multiple platforms simultaneously, aiming at professional broadcasters expanding into multi‑stream content.
