architectures for AI factory and data center deployments. Its lineup included
the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8, and Liquid-Cooled NVIDIA
RTX PRO AI GPU Server, supporting the high-performance computing, data
transmission, and system reliability requirements of AI factories and data
centers.
Inventec: Artemis III Targets
Large-Scale Generative AI
Inventec extended its expertise into advanced rack-scale solutions with Artemis
III, powered by NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72. Specifically engineered for
large-scale generative AI applications, the system is now in full production.
Wiwynn: NVIDIA and AMD
Platforms Expand Rack-Scale Infrastructure Options
Wiwynn showcased both NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and AMD Helios rack-scale
solutions. Based on the OCP ORv3 open standard, AMD Helios integrates AMD
Instinct MI400 Series GPUs with 6th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, demonstrating Wiwynn’s
capabilities from reference design to production.
From Infrastructure Integration to AI Factory Deployment
AI infrastructure is evolving
beyond standalone computing systems toward more comprehensive integration and
deployment. QCT focuses on the co-design of compute, networking, and storage,
while GIGABYTE approaches AI factory deployment through pre-deployment
validation and optimization—highlighting different stages in the journey from
infrastructure development to deployment readiness.
QCT: Extreme Co-Design Across
Compute, Networking, and Storage
QCT showcased extreme co-design across seven chips spanning compute,
networking, and storage, along with five purpose-built rack-scale systems for
Agentic AI workloads: NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Built by QCT, NVIDIA Vera CPU
Rack, NVIDIA Groq 3 LPX Inference Accelerator Racks, NVIDIA BlueField-4 STX
AI-Native Storage Rack, and NVIDIA Spectrum-6 SPX Networking Racks.
GIGABYTE: GAIFA Strengthens
Pre-Deployment Validation and Optimization
In addition to showcasing rack-scale AI infrastructure including NVIDIA Vera
Rubin NVL72, GIGABYTE presented GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator). By
integrating next-generation computing platforms, high-speed networking, and the
NVIDIA software ecosystem, GAIFA helps customers conduct system validation,
performance tuning, and workload optimization before full deployment.
High-Density AI Computing Meets Liquid Cooling
As AI computing density
continues to increase, thermal management and data center space are becoming
critical considerations in system design. From high-density liquid-cooled racks
to coolant distribution units, liquid cooling is becoming increasingly integrated
into AI server and rack-scale architectures.
MiTAC Computing: 52U
Liquid-Cooled Rack Increases GPU Density
MiTAC Computing debuted its 52U High-Density AI Liquid-Cooled Rack, integrating
96 AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs in a single rack. Compared with standard AI
configurations, the solution delivers 50% higher GPU density while reducing
data center floor space by 33%. It supports a range of AI workloads, including
model training, inference, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
ASRock Rack: Liquid-Cooling
CDU Supports Next-Generation AI Factories
ASRock Rack showcased AI server platforms integrated with advanced
liquid-cooling solutions from ecosystem partners. Its exhibit highlighted the
NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, cooled with a double-rack-width liquid-to-air coolant
distribution unit (CDU) to meet the requirements of next-generation AI factory
environments.
From next-generation
computing platforms and rack-scale systems such as NVIDIA Vera Rubin and AMD
Helios to high-speed networking, AI storage, deployment validation, and liquid
cooling, the technologies showcased by COMPUTEX 2026 exhibitors illustrate how
AI servers are evolving beyond individual systems toward complete AI
infrastructure and AI factory deployment.
