GIGABYTE unveiled its “Refine & Define” philosophy at CES 2026—delivering X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 for AMD Ryzen 9000 X3D processors, the AORUS RTX 5090 INFINITY with WINDFORCE HYPERBURST cooling, and GiMATE AI agent with natural “Press and Speak” control across its unified ecosystem.
X3D Turbo Mode 2.0: Hardware Meets AI Optimization
GIGABYTE’s exclusive software-hardware fusion optimizes the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 Series X3D processors through on-board hardware chips and Dynamic AI Overclocking for real-time performance maximization. The flagship X870E AORUS XTREME X3D AI TOP and lifestyle-focused X870E AERO X3D WOOD set new motherboard standards through this AI-driven approach.
X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 represents GIGABYTE’s commitment to extracting maximum potential from cutting-edge silicon—leveraging AI algorithms to analyze workload patterns and adjust voltages, frequencies, and power delivery dynamically rather than relying on static overclocking profiles.

AORUS RTX 5090 INFINITY: Separated PCB Cooling
The AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 INFINITY introduces WINDFORCE HYPERBURST Cooling—combining separated PCB design with penetrating airflow for unobstructed thermal management. This architecture unlocks full RTX AI computing potential by eliminating traditional cooling bottlenecks where dense component placement restricts airflow.
The separated PCB approach positions heat-generating elements strategically, allowing WINDFORCE fans to deliver direct cooling across critical GPU components without obstruction. This matters for sustained AI workloads like model training and generative AI tasks where thermal throttling traditionally limits performance.
AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX: Portable Power
GIGABYTE announced the AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX—a portable eGPU with 16GB VRAM instantly supercharging ultrabook performance. Combined with the new GPU Selector application, users can assign specific applications to designated GPUs, optimizing efficiency for demanding Generative AI workloads including ComfyUI and LM Studio.
This addresses a fundamental laptop limitation: integrated graphics excel at battery efficiency but struggle with AI model inference, image generation, and video editing. The AI BOX provides desktop-class GPU acceleration through external connectivity while maintaining laptop portability.
GiMATE AI Agent: Natural Control Interface
GiMATE, GIGABYTE’s exclusive AI agent, integrates an advanced LLM with intuitive “Press and Speak” control across laptops. The redesigned interface enables AI Power Gear III to perform direct MUX switching without BIOS entry—eliminating the traditional reboot requirement for switching between integrated and discrete graphics.
GiMATE Creator adds Qwen-image capabilities for visual AI tasks, while GiMATE Coder expands intuitive coding functionality with natural language-to-code generation. Hardware upgrades across the AORUS MASTER 16, AERO X16, and GAMING A18 PRO complement the software enhancements.
OLED Gaming Monitor Evolution
GIGABYTE introduces HyperNits technology to enhance HDR performance and AI Picture Mode to elevate SDR content, maximizing OLED visual quality across four new gaming monitors:
- MO34WQC36: Ultra-wide QD-OLED for immersive gaming
- MO32U24: 4K QD-OLED balancing resolution and responsiveness
- MO27Q28GR: Glossy 4th-gen WOLED with enhanced reflectivity control
- MO27Q2A ICE: White 27-inch QD-OLED breaking traditional black aesthetic
HyperNits addresses traditional OLED HDR challenges by intelligently boosting peak brightness in specific zones without compromising panel longevity. AI Picture Mode analyzes SDR content frame-by-frame, applying color grading and contrast adjustments that simulate HDR-like depth.
Unified AI Ecosystem Strategy
GIGABYTE’s “Refine & Define” philosophy emphasizes software-hardware integration across its entire product portfolio. Rather than treating AI as isolated features, the company positions Dynamic AI Overclocking, GPU Selector, GiMATE agents, and HyperNits/AI Picture Mode as interconnected ecosystem components.
This approach recognizes that AI computing demands extend beyond raw hardware specs—requiring intelligent software that adapts to workloads, optimizes resource allocation, and simplifies complex tasks through natural interfaces.
Experience: Live demonstrations available at GIGABYTE Booth #8519 (LVCC North Hall) and GIGABYTE Ballroom (The Venetian Convention and Expo Center) during CES 2026.
