• Back in Taiwan to Attend Computex 2026

  

  By: Dennis Garcia | Published: Monday, June 1, 2026

  One of the great parts of running a tech related website is attending trade shows to learn about new trends and see what hardware may soon be available.  If you happen to follow my travels I afford myself two trips a year, CES or the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and Computex in Taiwan.  CES is great because it is close to where I live and may of the vendors I work with are there or around the event in area hotels.  Sadly, CES has very little to do with what I cover on Hardware Asylum and is where Computex tends to do much better.

  

  Computex started as a sales related trade show to attract international visitors looking to buy electronics hardware and services.  The show was opened up to media to help promote the event and is where I got involved in the early 2000’s.  Computex back then was a very different show, it felt small due to the location but was always packed with people.  Since then the show has moved to larger facilities allowing vendors to expand the sizes of their booths and is when the show changed from a vendor and sales focus to marketing and presentation.  The items are still there but, the purpose to attend is more about networking and making contacts over something a media person would report on.

  
  

  This year for Computex 2026 the show has expanded once again to encompass the two Nangang Exhibition buildings with additional exhibits at the World Trade Center.  The Taiwan World Trade Center has been the host of Computex since I first started attending and brings back fond memories of shoulder to shoulder crowds and how you can quickly lose people when attempting to migrate the sea of people.

  

  Sadly, the additional “halls” that were part of Computex have since been demolished to make way for new shopping centers and whatever this round skyscraper will eventually become.  This location is one of the last buildings associated with Computex from when I first started visiting and is a reminder of how fast things change in the world of technology.

• CORSAIR PRO launches AI Workstations and Servers, Complete AI Compute Stack Built for Every Scale

  

  By: Dennis Garcia | Published: Sunday, May 24, 2026

  MILPITAS, CA, May 21, 2026 - CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) today introduced CORSAIR PRO, a new portfolio of AI systems built for organizations deploying and scaling modern AI workloads. Designed to support multiple workloads from model development and fine-tuning to inference and production deployment, CORSAIR PRO brings together purpose-built workstations and servers in a single platform family.

  

  With AI teams facing very different infrastructure requirements depending on workload, model size, and deployment stage, CORSAIR PRO is built to offer a more practical approach. Some users need a workstation for development, experimentation, validation, and local inference. Others need server-class infrastructure for denser compute, shared environments, and production-scale deployment. CORSAIR PRO is designed to support both.

  “We’re introducing CORSAIR PRO to address a real shift in the market,” said Matthew Hsu, SVP and GM of CORSAIR Components and Systems. “AI teams need infrastructure that matches how they actually work, whether that starts with a local workstation or goes straight into the data center. With CORSAIR PRO, we’re offering both.”

  The new CORSAIR PRO portfolio includes AI Workstations built for development, prototyping, fine-tuning, and local AI execution. This lineup includes the FlexPrime V20R, FlexPrime V50R, FlexPrime V80T, and FlexPrime R80T, giving customers a range of platforms suited to individual developers, research labs, and engineering teams running shared training and inference workloads.

  CORSAIR PRO also introduces a family of AI Servers built for larger-scale training, inference, and deployment. The server lineup includes the FlexGrid G2E2, FlexGrid MG4E2, FlexGrid HG8E2, and FlexGrid MI8E2, covering a broad set of requirements across entry AI infrastructure, balanced multi-GPU compute, high-density training, and large-memory accelerator environments.

  Together, these systems are designed to give customers the flexibility to choose infrastructure based on where they are in the AI workflow today, while also giving them room to scale as requirements grow.

  Among the systems being highlighted is the FlexPrime V80B, a new CORSAIR PRO workstation designed for demanding AI training, fine-tuning, inference, and simulation workloads. Powered by the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, the FlexPrime V80B brings advanced shared-memory architecture to a deskside platform, helping users work more effectively with large models and memory-intensive datasets.

  CORSAIR PRO is built around more than raw hardware performance. The portfolio is designed to support real-world AI workflows, including training, fine-tuning, inference, RAG pipelines, AI assistants, agentic workflows, and computer vision. By offering both workstation and server platforms, CORSAIR PRO gives customers options for the full AI lifecycle, from early development through deployment.

  CORSAIR PRO AI systems can be configured with a validated software stack tuned to the hardware in each build. PyTorch and TensorFlow are pre-installed and validated against the selected GPUs. Docker and Kubernetes are configured for reproducible environments and multi-node deployment. GPU drivers, CUDA, and ROCm versions are matched to the hardware before the system ships. Customers who select the stack spend their first day training models, not configuring environments.

  This approach is especially relevant for organizations operating across multiple verticals, where infrastructure requirements can vary significantly between teams and use cases. Whether supporting engineering, research, enterprise AI initiatives, or specialized industry deployments, CORSAIR PRO is designed to provide the right form factor and performance profile for the job.

  With CORSAIR PRO, customers can start with a workstation for local development and move to server infrastructure as projects mature, or deploy directly into server environments where scale and shared access are priorities from day one. The goal is straightforward: deliver AI platforms that are easier to evaluate, easier to deploy, and better aligned with how AI workloads are actually built and run.
