In contrast to a few years ago when the exhibition venue was still centered around gaming, stepping into the venue this year, what caught my eyes were far more server brands and the appearance of more server racks than in previous years, presenting a completely different exhibition scenery.
The exhibition this year is positioned as AI Together, which will undoubtedly showcase more brand-new products closely related to the AI industry.
topic of AI has become hotter and hotter in recent years.
Most brands continue to work hard to connect their new products with AI in terms of both hardware and software.
Before the exhibition, many brands had already held new product launch events first.
In addition, there were many technical activities such as KEYNOTEs and forums.
Because the times sometimes overlapped and I couldn’t cooperate, I only participated in part of the activities.
