Artificial Intelligence at Computex 2023
NVIDIA recently hit a $1 trillion market cap thanks to its aggressive stance on acquiring the growing AI space. And while regulators and companies ponder the ethics, cybersecurity, and survival issues of AI development, NVIDIA is rapidly building hardware to meet AI’s advanced computing needs.
Moreover, AI is still far from commercialization, leaving organizations without a clear business strategy. Semiconductor companies may still need to evolve their AI hardware portfolios, but they already have viable and profitable offerings. And for now, NVIDIA seems to be ahead.
At Computex 2023, NVIDIA demoed the intersection of AI and gaming. The company has added its AI rendering engine for games, Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE), to its AI product portfolio. It is a tool designed to enhance gamers’ interactive experiences with non-playable characters (NPCs).
In his keynote, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang spoke about enterprise applications for the company’s AI hardware. This includes GPUs based on the Hopper architecture (announced at NVIDIA GTC 2022), Ampere architecture (which inherits NVIDIA’s Volta and Turing architectures and will be introduced in 2021), and RTX GPUs optimized for generative AI workloads. included.
NVIDIA partnered with advertising firm WPP to develop AI-generated branding content on the American chipmaker’s Omniverse Cloud suite. The company also introduced the NVIDIA Isaac Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) platform and announced a partnership with SoftBank to deploy generative AI applications on the Japanese investment firm’s servers.

Gaming at Computex 2023
In addition to ACE, NVIDIA has introduced Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) 2, the next version of the technology of the same name that was first announced in 2015. NVIDIA claims ULMB 2 can deliver 1,000Hz motion clarity for a smoother gaming experience.
The ULMB 2 features new backlight strobe technology, is based on G-Sync and is currently only available on 360Hz G-Sync monitors at 1440p. If your monitor meets the criteria, update it with the latest NVIDIA ULMB 2 firmware.
On the hardware side, multiple OEMs have launched their own devices. These include:
- ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD curved gaming monitor. This monitor features a 49-inch ultra-wide display with 120 x 1440 (5K) resolution, 144Hz refresh rate for smooth motion, 1800R curvature, 1000 nits and more.
MSI’s Project 491C QD OLED, ASRock’s 55-inch 8K UHD PG558KF, and Asus’ ROG PG38UQ were honorable mentions.
- ROG Matrix RTX 4090: Asus offered a water-cooled ROG Matrix RTX 4090 GPU built on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. The stylish new GPU is housed in an aluminum case with a clear outer panel. The powerful new 450W GPU is internally cooled by liquid metal as thermal interface material and a 360mm all-in-one cooler.
- Acer Predator Triton 16: This 16″ gaming laptop features a 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, NVIDIA G-Sync, 2560 x 1600 IPS display at 500 nits and 240Hz, 32GB memory and up to 2TB SSD storage It has been. The aluminum alloy metal chassis is cooled by 5th generation AeroBlade 3D fans and Vortex Flow optimization. Acer’s new flagship gaming laptop also features two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, one Thunderbolt 4 port and a micro SD card reader.
Asus has also added devices to its ROG Zephyrus, ROG Strik, and ROG Flow gaming laptop series. It’s no exaggeration to say that the company’s presence at Computex 2023 was significant.
Mobile Computing at Computex 2023
British semiconductor design firm Arm took center stage at Computex 2023 to deliver next-generation mobile chip designs. Nearly all smartphones today have a System-on-Chip (SoC), and the company is already a leader in mobile chip IP design today.
When NVIDIA bid to buy Arm for $40 billion in 2020, it’s no wonder chip makers around the world expressed concern to regulators. Agreement will fail in 2022.attempt of Qualcomm Led Consortium The Arm acquisition didn’t come to fruition either.
The SoftBank-owned company has now announced Total Compute Solutions 2023 (TSC23), a complete IP solutions offering that includes:
- Cortex-X4
- Cortex A720
- Cortex A520
- DynamicIQ shared unit or DSU-120 cluster
- Immortalis-G720
- Mali-G720
- Mali-G620
In particular, Arm didn’t have many PC-specific innovations to show off at Computex 2023.
What did Computex 2023 have in store for PC enthusiasts?
1. XSLAB V-raptor SQ nano workstation
South Korea’s XSLAB, which specializes in Arm-based servers, has developed a new hexagonal workstation with Arm chips. The XSLAB V-raptor SQ nano is a 64-bit, 1GHz workstation with 24 Arm Cortex A-52 cores.
32 GB (16×2) DDR4 RAM, NVMe SSD, 1 Gbit/s Ethernet port, 3 USB ports and a 2.08 inch display are housed in a 193 x 169 x 33 mm purple case.
