GiMATE AI Agent, new monitors, AI Box: Gigabyte at Computex 2025

All in on AI

Published

on

Going through the Gigabyte Computex 2025 tour felt like a boss rush of information. There were the usual components, moving AI forward, some brand spanking new monitors, and so much more. 

We were particularly impressed with the GiMATE AI Agent, the new set of gaming monitors, and their AI Box machines.

Here’s a quick rundown.

GiMATE AI Agent

This was personally the most fascinating thing for me during the entire tour. The GiMATE AI Agent is a one-stop shop for everything AI on Gigabyte machines. 

It is an AI agent that is deeply embedded, learns your habits, and anticipates your needs. With it you can control nearly everything on your laptop or PC. Everything from tuning performance to securing privacy. 

It also has image generators embedded – ones that you can tweak and refine to your liking. Yes. GeneratorS. Flux, Stable Diffusion, it’s all right there. 

I’m not sure I fully grasped everything that it is and can do. We’re looking to spend an extended time with one of their laptops to test GiMATE even further. 

New Monitors

The new monitors on display were fascinating, each one with a trick of its own.

AI Box 

Going all in on AI, Gigabyte also introduced a couple of interesting AI boxes during the tour. These are the AI Top Atom and the AORUS RTX 5090 AI Box. 

Both were designed so that those who really want to train AI can have dedicated machines to do so. Training AI requires plenty of computing power and these products from Gigabyte are especially optimized for that task. 

AI Top Atom

  • Powered by NVIDIA DGX Spark
  • Fine-tune Al models up to 70 billion parameters
  • Run Al development and testing workloads 
  • Al models up to 200 billion parameters

Everything else on display 

There were so much more to see and that most of which kind of flew over my head. 

The part about how they achieve the low reflective, smooth matte-finish on their laptops was fascinating. 

The actual laptops, too, most of which have GiMATE AI Agent equipped, are equally just as fascinating. They looked sleeked, felt strong, and are obviously built with specs and parts you’d want and need from a gaming laptop in 2025. 

Naturally, there was also an array of GeFORCE RTX 50 and Radeon RX 9000 GPUs. 

And if you’re finally planning on building your own PC, they have a bunch of motherboards with AI-accelerated DDR5 memory overclocking, AI tuning for you to choose from.

China-based brand Bambu Lab makes an effort to move closer to everyday consumers in the Philippines with a new retail partner by holding a media and creators roundtable in the Philippines. This was a bid to reshape how consumers perceive and use 3D printing technology.

Established in Shenzhen, China in 2020, Bambu Lab aims to make 3D printing more accessible, practical, and relevant to daily life through printers and other supplies.

The goal is to support practical home use, creative hobbies, product design, and even specialized tools, while putting emphasis on ease of use.

With such optics, Bambu Lab is trying to make consumers feel that there is less deep technical knowledge required and that they can actually create physical objects with 3D printing.

One of their products is the entry-level Bambu Lab A1 mini, which is compact enough to fit on a small desk.

The brand also has more advanced models which are capable of printing multiple colors and materials on a single run.

To complement the hardware ecosystem, Bambu Lab’s open platform MakerWorld lets users browse, select, and print from an extensive library of shared 3D designs directly from their own desktops.

The platform features a wide variety of objects across multiple categories. There’s household items, DIY tools, children’s toys, props, and educational materials.

In the Philippines, Bambu Lab will open its first concept store at One Ayala, Makati City. The concept corner will give mallgoers the opportunity to see the range of 3D printers and consumables firsthand.

Next-gen AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D desktop processor out soon

Built for the most demanding titles

Published

on

The next-generation AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D desktop processor will be available for sale starting January 29. It has a standard pricing of US$ 499.

Built for enthusiasts, the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 series processor features a +400MHz improvement to the boost clock, building on the legacy of the 9800X3D.

This makes the “world’s fastest gaming processor” even faster. AMD says their offering boasts of an average 27% gaming performance improvement over the Intel Core Ultra 9 285k.

On paper, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D has a maximum boost clock speed of up to 5.6GHz, and a base clock speed of 4.7GHz.

The new 8-core, 16-thread processor is aided by 2nd Gen 3D V-Cache technology, so a high-frequency memory is not required.

Across an average of more than 30 games played, the FPS difference between a DDR5-4800 and a  DDR5-6000 was below 1%.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D is ideal for running demanding titles, i.e. AAA games, at maximum FPS. Initial checks also suggest the processor stays efficient in spite of higher speeds.

For connectivity, the processor has two memory channels for a maximum 192GB of DDR5 memory. It can also support four USB 3.2 Gen 2s and a USB 2.0.
