Computex

And throughout the year, we have numerous other events going to MWC, Embedded World.

We're going to go to Computex in Taipei.

So those are next time.

Fantastic.

Um, so this is the MEG Coreliquid E15 360.

I got a preview of this, I think, at CES and at Computex.

I mean, they've been working on this for a while.

Um, and this is a 360 millimeter based AIO.

But that said, I hadn't been able to see these devices.

So Zach saw them in Taipei during Computex in June.

So this is my first time seeing them.

The Asus ProArt 16 looks to be one of the more premium looking.

You know, the other thing I heard from a lot of the vendors on just, again, a point about OCP was maybe a little bit more.

I mean, I don't want to say this doesn't happen at Computex and probably the best way anybody should think about the show is kind of like a mini Computex.

Not quite as big, but a lot of the same kind of cool stuff thematically vendors.

But I heard from the vendors that there was a lot more deal making happening at this show.

that they were engaged with customers, having real engaged ordering types of decisions, like what do you need, that wasn't necessarily the same kind of case at Computex.

So I thought it was interesting on the back of the vendors actually got a ton of value from this.

And I thought, again, I heard, I won't say who, but I was at a booth for a very popular... technology doing cpo and i saw one of the largest oems data center uh uh rack oems basically say we need to talk let's let's have a conversation we need to do a deal

It is something really special.

And, you know, not everyone gets to come to Computex or Gamescom or those kinds of big events.

So it's nice to have some of these smaller events where people who are local can come and check it all out for themselves in person.

Well, listen, Winston, thanks so much for your time.

And I have to give them kudos for that because, you know, that's kind of what I think they need to do in Windows in general, like some optimizations, especially now that we have this RAM crisis, right? Where some people are going to buy eight gigabyte Windows laptops and suffer right now unless Microsoft starts optimizing, which they've promised they will do.

But I think we can start seeing a glimpse of that in this ROG Xbox Ally experience.

Now, I haven't used the 20 years out of it other than I touched it and played with it at Computex very briefly.

And by playing, I mean, I did not play a game.

Uh, NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra, yep.

The NVIDIA, uh, AI laptops that were announced at Computex, that's number three.

Uh, number four was the CEO stories.

Uh, the CEO layoffs blaming AI, that's number four.

And of course, we'll see their CPUs as well next year at some point as well.

Computex 2027... we've heard of this event it's normally held in the first week of June but Kepler himself doesn't appear to be sure of the if it will be launched around about that time or announced around about that time most likely going to be after that and the actual last part of 2027 There is, of course, the risk that it could go into 2028 with the way things are at the moment, because that's when NVIDIA's Rubin-based RTX 60 series would be coming out.

There'll be nothing for a while, which will break the tradition of every year and a half, two years, there being an update in GPUs coming out.

It's...

It's becoming a longer generation now because of costs of things.

I don't even know why they bother bringing...

And some of these shows like Computex and others, there's not a lot of people attending anymore.

There's not a lot of people bringing in to even rent the booths to show their wares that much anymore.
