At CES 2026, GIGABYTE showcased the next phase of its AI PC roadmap under the banner “Refine & Define,” signaling a clear shift toward deeper on-device intelligence. The company introduced a revamped AI assistant, GiMATE, alongside a new lineup of AI-powered gaming and creator laptops built for performance, efficiency, and intelligent control.
GiMATE Evolves into a Central AI Control System
GIGABYTE’s updated GiMATE is no longer just a utility—it now
functions as a unified AI command center for system management, creative tasks,
and productivity. Designed to simplify complex operations, the platform brings
multiple AI-driven tools together under a single interface.
Key GiMATE Enhancements
AI Power Gear III: Enables seamless switching between
Discrete GPU and hybrid graphics modes directly within the OS, removing the
need to enter BIOS. Users can choose Auto, Optimus, or Eco modes depending on
workload.
GiMATE Creator: Supports local AI image generation powered
by Qwen-Image, allowing users to create visuals offline using English or
Chinese text prompts.
GiMATE Coder: Provides AI-assisted programming support,
including code writing, debugging, and optimization through natural language,
with direct integration into Visual Studio Code.
Voice-Based Control: The new “Press and Speak” feature uses
a large language model to let users manage system functions hands-free through
voice commands.
2026 AI Gaming Laptop Portfolio
GIGABYTE’s latest laptops are built around NVIDIA GeForce
RTX 50 Series GPUs, paired with advanced cooling solutions to handle sustained
AI and gaming workloads. Each model targets a specific user segment, from
high-end gamers to professional creators.
Notable Models
AORUS MASTER 16: The flagship performance notebook, powered
by the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D and configurable up to an RTX 5090 GPU. Despite its
power, it maintains a slim 19mm profile, supported by the new WINDFORCE Infinity
EX thermal system.
GIGABYTE AERO X16: A creator-focused, Microsoft-certified
Copilot+ PC featuring AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series processors and up to an RTX 5070
GPU, all housed in a sleek 16.75mm chassis.
GIGABYTE GAMING A18 PRO: Designed for users seeking strong
performance without extreme bulk, this model delivers up to RTX 5080 graphics
within a 20mm form factor.
Display and Visual Intelligence Upgrades
GIGABYTE also introduced next-generation display
enhancements across its 2026 lineup. New OLED panels with HyperNits technology
improve brightness and HDR performance, while AI Picture Mode intelligently
enhances standard dynamic range content for better color accuracy and contrast.
A Clear Push Toward Smarter PCs
With tighter AI integration at both the hardware and
software levels, GIGABYTE’s CES 2026 announcements underline its intent to move
beyond raw performance. The focus is now on systems that can adapt, assist, and
optimize in real time—making AI a core part of the everyday PC experience.
