Redefining AI Technology To Upgrade Your Life

GIGABYTE’s AI-powered innovations empower users and businesses to thrive in a digital world.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a specialized technology into a disruptive force that’s reshaping businesses and industries. By 2027, the global market for AI-related products, including hardware and services, is set to balloon to nearly US$1 trillion, according to Bain & Co. The report predicts annual growth between 40% and 55%, driven by the expanding applications of AI across sectors.

In parallel, the AI-powered personal computer (PC) market is transforming, with Gartner estimating that by the end of 2025, 43% of all PCs shipped will have AI capabilities, up from just 17% in 2024.

Pioneering The Future Of AI-Driven Consumer PCs

Recognizing the transformative power of AI, GIGABYTE is strategically positioning itself as the pioneer in the field. In October 2023, GIGABYTE, as part of its broader mission to “Upgrade Your Life,” unveiled its strategic framework for AI. The framework outlines a blueprint for GIGABYTE’s direction in the AI-driven future of the consumer PC market. This framework is built on three fundamental pillars: providing a comprehensive AI operating platform that supports all-end computing applications; enhancing product performance through AI-based design that optimizes key parameters; and building a seamless AI experience by engaging with industry leaders in the AI ecosystem.

Based on these concepts, GIGABYTE keeps expanding its AI technology across the end-user market, along with new offerings. These include the GIGABYTE AI Gaming Laptop, which is ahead of the market trend by adopting Microsoft Copilot Hotkey and exclusive AI Nexus technology, as well as AI TOP, a game-changing desktop-based local AI training solution launched this year.

GIGABYTE started 2024 on a strong note by showcasing its AI gaming laptops at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, allowing gamers to explore the new world of AI-powered gaming. Besides the Copilot Hotkey, GIGABYTE AI Gaming Laptops also come with AI Nexus Technology, featuring AI Power Gear, which automatically extends the PC’s battery life through its dynamic dGPU switch. The dynamic dGPU switch works similarly to the typical “Eco/Sports mode” button in a car—whereby one mode allows the driver to save fuel while the other allows the driver to achieve maximum speed.

It also has AI Boost, which automatically adjusts the GPU and processors to maximize response and deliver unparalleled efficiency, a feature that is suitable for gamers who want the best gaming experience. The AI Generator includes various generative AI apps such as Stable Diffusion (an app that produces photorealistic images from text) and ComfyUI (an app that creates images, videos and audio) for quick startup.

Groundbreaking Local AI Training Solution: AI TOP

While the adoption of AI has reached critical mass, there are still a few pressing issues that need to be solved so that AI can be adopted by all businesses and consumers. Understanding these demands, GIGABYTE launched AI TOP at Computex in June 2024, a groundbreaking desktop-based local AI training solution, comprising both hardware and software to “Train Your Own AI On Your Desk,” providing small to medium businesses, research institutions and even regular consumers with a low-entry barrier to access AI training.

AI TOP combines data privacy through on-premises training with powerful AI computing capabilities. AI TOP delivers 7.7 times better power efficiency than regular desktops while operating standard household power. Its intuitive setup makes installation a breeze while offering exceptional flexibility and upgradability to adapt to evolving needs. Built with a focus on privacy and security, AI TOP keeps all sensitive data within your machines. Combining a suite of AI-ready hardware and GIGABYTE’s AI TOP Utility software makes GIGABYTE AI TOP an ideal solution for home use, where both performance and peace of mind are essential.

To address the rapidly evolving demands of the AI market, GIGABYTE quickly launched its upgraded AI TOP in October, giving a user-friendly interface, reinvented workflows, real-time progress dashboard monitoring and the ability to schedule training experiments to run at any time. It supports top open-source AI models, allowing beginners to start their own AI projects without programming skills.

And, to pair with the software, AI TOP Hardware lineup—including the motherboards, SSD, PSU and even chassis—are all built on AI technology to perfectly match the AI TOP system and handle the heavy workloads during AI training. Furthermore, the AI TOP clustering feature allows for the connection of multiple AI TOP machines, delivering scalable power for intensive AI tasks to meet the growing needs for high-performance computing.

Power Of The GIGABYTE AI Ecosystem

GIGABYTE understands that its success in the launch of its AI Gaming Laptops and AI TOP solution is further empowered by its collaborations with key AI ecosystem partners, such as Intel, AMD, Microsoft and NVIDIA. These partnerships enable GIGABYTE to access leading-edge technology, seamlessly integrate it into its products, and enhance compatibility with the tools and platforms that enterprises and consumers rely on daily.

Through strategic innovation, partnerships and an unwavering commitment to user experience, GIGABYTE is helping to shape a future where AI seamlessly integrates into everyday life, improving the quality of life for people around the world, says GIGABYTE CEO Eddie Lin. The mission to “Upgrade Your Life” reflects GIGABYTE’s belief in AI as a transformative technology that can open up new possibilities and elevate human potential across all areas of life.
