5 Things That Will Probably Appear at Computex 2017








1. One of the first and most important things to expect at Computex 2017 is Intel's HEDT Desktop CPU code-named Skylake X. The highest end chip is rumored to be a 12 Core, 24 Thread CPU (i9 7920X) with the lowest end being a 6 Core / 12 Thread CPU (i9 7800X). These are aimed at the Highest End Users, in no shape or form does the average person need such a chip for gaming. Only if you plan on running a server and if so the Xeon CPU would be cheaper despite the lower clocks on it.

2. The usual thing to see here would be new PCs from Asus, Acer, MSI and other system builders. Asus is certain to reveal it's new Ryzen laptops ranging from regular laptop users to gamers.  Zotac is going to try it's hand at the PC gaming computer industry and reveal it's new gaming computers with a new GTX 1080 Ti Hydro Watercooling GPU and a new external graphics enclosure that follows what Razer and Dell's Alienware has done in that niche market.

3. Nvidia is certain to preview it's new computer GPU following AMD's announcement earlier this month about it's Vega series GPUs.

4. Asus might be trying to bring it's robots into more countries besides Taiwan with it's ASUS Zembo robot.

5. Finally, G-Skill will be holding a overclocking tournament and Zotac will be holding a VR tournament (a definite first for the industry) while HTC decides to ditch Computex this year altogether.
