Staying in business for 40 years is no small feat in the fast-paced world of tech. GIGABYTE is celebrating this milestone anniversary at this year’s Computex 2026.
GIGABYTE celebrates its 40th anniversary at Computex!
Instead of just giving the usual speeches, GIGABYTE really made their trade show presence tangible this year. The message behind it was actually pretty simple, but appealing: They wanted to show that even after four decades, they’re still going strong and constantly working to bring us the best solutions. The highlight of the show, though, was that things weren’t just presented in a dry, formal way. The motto was clear: Come on in, make yourselves at home, and just try the stuff out for yourselves.
To give you a sense of what it was actually like there, let’s take you on a mental tour of the booth. Among other things, you could marvel at virtually complete PC systems in all their individual parts, including:
Right in the thick of it: The Consumer Booth
We’ll start where most gamers and PC builders spend the majority of their time anyway: right in the large consumer area. There was plenty going on here, and you could see the new hardware in action right away.
There’s a lot happening right now, especially with monitors. With the Aorus Elite Fo27Q28G, GIGABYTE tackles one of the most annoying issues with OLED screens. Thanks to the so-called 4th Gen Tandem Glossy OLED and an intelligent OLED protection system, burn-in should no longer be an issue. At the same time, the 4K panel delivers 280 Hz. For those who prefer higher resolution: The Aorus Elite FM275K16P is the first glossy Mini LED display to combine 5K with 165 Hz.
The new generation of graphics cards
There were also innovations in the GPUs. The RTX 5080 in the Infinity design was hard to miss at the booth. The card features 16 GB of VRAM and, of course, utilizes NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture as well as DLSS 4. Here’s a quick rundown of the facts, without all the fuss:
- Infinity Mirror design with three-zone SPECTRA 2.0 RGB lighting
- Advanced IceStorm 3.0 cooling (the vapor chamber is now 34% larger)
- BladeLink fans & FREEZE Fan Stop (active fan control, Dual BIOS)
- Die-cast metal backplate and an included bracket to prevent the graphics card from sagging
- 3-year warranty (register to get an additional 2 years)
Motherboards: Style matters too
Of course, motherboards are a must at GIGABYTE. The X870E AORUS INFINITY NEXT immediately stood out thanks to its white honeycomb design, which is also said to improve heat dissipation. Also on display at the booth were the X870 AORUS INFINITY, the D5 DUO X Series, and new boards from the STEALTH series.
One door over: The Enterprise Area and the AI Datacenter
Anyone who wanted to see where all the computing power for current AI applications actually comes from just had to head over to the Enterprise Area. Here, things got a bit bigger and more industrial. GIGABYTE had set up a vivid demonstration of what a modern AI data center actually looks like and how it works these days.
When you stand in front of the Power Rack / Vera Rubin AI Server, you really realize just how massive these cabinets are—they’re what keep the entire infrastructure for AI models running.
For people who don’t need an entire server cabinet right away but are developing AI models locally (such as students or data scientists), there was also the GIGABYTE AI TOP ATOM on display. This is an astonishingly small PC that, thanks to the NVIDIA® GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, delivers up to one petaflop of AI performance and 128 GB of “Coherent Unified Memory.”

Finally, we made a detour to the VIP Room. Away from the crowded aisles, we were able to check out a few very special concepts here.
For example, there was the Gigabyte Eagle 5. This is a pre-built PC that runs on a Ryzen 7 8700F and a compact RTX 5060 Low Profile. Ideal if you want a computer that takes up as little desk space as possible but still delivers solid performance.
And for the DIY enthusiasts, there were also the new mATX Stealth motherboards. The concept behind them is simple yet ingenious: the ports have been moved to the back. That means when you build the computer, you won’t see any more cable clutter in the front of the case.
Laptops: Hardware Power on the Go
In addition to all the desktop components, there was another surprise in the VIP corner: the latest laptops! Games and creative apps are demanding more and more power, while hardware feels increasingly unaffordable. Fortunately, the value segment is still reliable. As GIGABYTE impressively demonstrates, you’ll still be able to get your hands on damn good, affordable hardware in 2026.
Instead of overwhelming us with endless spec sheets, GIGABYTE has put together a truly strong and, above all, broad lineup. For competitive gamers who need every single frame in Battlefield 6, the high-performance Gigabyte Gaming A16 PRO (with RTX 5070 Ti) was available. Those looking to play the latest AAA titles on a slightly tighter budget could check out the value-for-money laptop GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CVH. And for all students or creatives looking for a mobile workstation for AI-powered workflows and video editing, theGIGABYTE AERO X16was the perfect fit.
Here’s to many more years of GIGABYTE
Four decades in the fast-paced tech industry are a massive milestone, but anyone who thinks GIGABYTE is now resting on its laurels was definitely proven wrong at this year’s Computex. The company’s trade show presence once again impressively underscored that the brand’s hunger for innovation is greater than ever.
From smart consumer products that noticeably enhance our everyday gaming experience, to clever stealth concepts for PC hobbyists, to massive enterprise solutions that lay the foundation for the AI revolution. If the developments of the last 40 years are any indication of what’s to come, then we hardware enthusiasts have a damn exciting journey ahead of us. GIGABYTE is clearly ready for the coming decades, and we can look forward to it!
