Cutting-edge ASUS AI technologies and limited editions steal the show at Computex 2026

All eyes were on the ASUS and Republic of Gamers (ROG) booths at this year’s Computex as crowds gathered to check out the latest computing and gaming innovations and be a part of the celebrations for ROG’s 20th anniversary.

Inside the ASUS Booth — AI Across Every Layer

At the ASUS booth, AI came to life across every zone — from enterprise systems and sustainability tools to Agentic AI, creative devices, gaming, healthcare, and robotics.

A key focus was the next steps in ASUS’s Ubiquitous AI. Incredible Possibilities strategy, which brings together cloud, edge, and on-device intelligence into one unified ecosystem. One of the standout areas was the Zenni Interactive Zone, where ASUS Zenni Claw made its debut. The personal agentic AI platform showcases how AI can understand intent, take action, and support everyday tasks through simple, intuitive interactions.

Adding to the atmosphere, Zenni — the official ASUS mascot — visited the booth and interacted with visitors, bringing a playful, lively energy to the space. Across the booth, visitors explored distinct zones that highlighted different layers of ASUS’ AI vision — showing how intelligence is no longer limited to a single device or category, but is embedded across work, life, and play. 

The standout highlights included:

ASUS AI POD with NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72

As you entered the ASUS booth, the AI Infrastructure zone was an immediate eyecatcher, showcasing rack-scale systems and enterprise AI platforms designed for high-performance workloads.

Taking pride of place was the ASUS AI POD built on NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 XA VR721-E3. This is a 100% liquid-cooled rack-scale platform purpose-built for trillion-parameter models and next-generation AI factories. Additionally, ASUS also introduced its XA P8A-E14AXL, a high-density 6U system supporting eight liquid-cooled NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, and the XA P4N-E2, a 2U AI server powered by NVIDIA Vera CPU processors for next-gen agentic AI systems.
