GIGABYTE has unveiled its expanded AI PC vision at CES 2026, through the release of new AI gaming laptops and a refreshed GiMATE interface.
The company also introduced new motherboards, graphics cards, and monitors, all tailored for this era of computing.
Bannering the new laptops is the flagship powerhouse, AORUS MASTER 16. This offering pairs an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor with up to a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU.
The NVIDIA Blackwell-powered graphics bring game-changing capabilities to both gamers and creators.
Together with NVIDIA DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Studio, users can expect image generation at unprecedented speeds.
For its cooling, the WINDFORCE Infinity EX design combines vapor chamber cooling and an asymmetric Frost Fan.
This monster of a gaming laptop also comes with up to 64GB of DDR5 memory and up to 4TB of SSD storage.
In front is a 16-inch OLED panel with up to 240Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3, and 1,000,000:1 contrast.
Features include an MUX Switch, AMD FreeSync, Dolby Vision, and more. This display is complemented by Dolby Atmos quad speakers.
Moreover, there is also an assortment of I/O ports for peripherals and an FHD webcam for streaming and other purposes. For connectivity, the AORUS MASTER 16 supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Other gaming laptop offerings include the GIGABYTE AERO X16, which comes with Ryzen AI 400 Series processors.
There’s also the GIGABYTE GAMING A18 PRO with up to RTX 5080 GPUs, delivering stable performance for gamers, creators, and more users who need ample AI laptop performance.
AORUS gaming motherboards, X3D Turbo Mode 2.0
GIGABYTE is also unlocking the potential of the AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors with AMD 3D V-Cache technology.
That’s through its exclusive, AI-powered X3D Turbo Mode 2.0, which is optimized and ready for the processors.
This enables GIGABYTE to deliver real-time adaptive performance that pushes X3D CPUs beyond traditional limits.
Highlighting the breakthrough is the flagship X870E AORUS XTREME X3D AI TOP. This motherboard is engineered for users seeking uncompromised performance.
It supports DDR5 speeds of up to 9000+ MT/s, enabling exceptional memory bandwidth and stability.

Updated GiMATE
Built for clearer navigation and faster decision-making, the updated GiMATE AI agent brings real-time system insights and intuitive, voice-driven control into one streamlined hub.
The newly introduced AI Power Gear III enhances efficiency and flexibility with direct MUX switching between Discreet and MSHybrid modes.
A new Auto Mode also disables the GPU on battery to maximize runtime, while Optimus Mode delivers a smoother and balanced performance. Moreover, Eco Mode provides extreme power saving on AC power and battery.
For creators and builders, GiMATE Creator expands its generative capabilities with the addition of Qwen-Image. This supports both English and Chinese prompts to bring powerful visual AI to users.
In addition, GiMATE Coder lowers the barrier to development by enabling natural-language code generation, correction, and optimization. This makes coding more accessible even for beginners while accelerating it for experienced users.
