TAIPEI, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GIGABYTE, the world's leading computer brand, today officially opened COMPUTEX 2026 under the theme "ENTER INFINITY," drawing strong visitor engagement across next-generation PC innovation, gaming, and intelligent computing showcases. Marking its 40th anniversary, GIGABYTE presents ENTER INFINITY not simply as a celebration of its history, but as a continuation of four decades of engineering innovation that shaped the evolution of performance computing.
GIGABYTE's premium gaming brand, AORUS, takes center stage with the INFINITY Series, a comprehensive lineup of motherboards, graphics cards, peripherals, and chassis. The lineup is led by the flagship X870E AORUS INFINITY NEXT, pushing limits further with aerospace-inspired engineering, featuring an industry-first 3D metal-printed cooling component and space-grade Quad OptiMOS power architecture built for next-generation AI and high-performance computing.
Together with AORUS GeForce RTX™ 50 Series INFINITY graphics cards, the AORUS C510 GLASS INFINITY chassis, and matching peripherals such as the AORUS K10 INFINITY gaming keyboard and AORUS M10 INFINITY gaming mouse, the series reflects GIGABYTE's continued focus on merging engineering performance with elevated PC craftsmanship.
Beyond gaming hardware, GIGABYTE is also showcasing how AI is increasingly becoming part of everyday computing workflows through its expanding AI ecosystem. Across AI TOP, AI BOX, and exclusive AI Agent, GiMATE, on AI gaming laptops, visitors can experience how hardware and software are being optimized together to simplify local AI development, which highlights GIGABYTE's broader vision of making AI more accessible across gaming, creation, and productivity scenarios.
The showcase further highlights how aesthetics is becoming an increasingly important part of PC builds, featuring STEALTH cableless design and the expanded AERO WOOD that brings cleaner builds and more lifestyle-oriented craftsmanship to high-performance PCs. Alongside these designs, a broader lineup of high-performance motherboards, graphics cards, and AORUS ELITE Series gaming monitors, delivering more immersive gaming and visual experiences across the show floor. Please visit ENTER INFINITY at the GIGABYTE Consumer Booth (4F, Booth No. M0520) and Enterprise Booth (1F, Booth No. K0802) during COMPUTEX 2026, and explore more at: COMPUTEX 2026: GIGABYTE & AORUS Press Kit.

Five-year investment spans research and development, manufacturing, M&A and ecosystem expansion as IBM extends its global lead in quantum computing and advances U.S. leadership
ARMONK, N.Y., June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) has announced plans to invest more than $10 billion in quantum computing over the next five years. The investment will span research and development, capital expenditure, manufacturing scaling, ecosystem partnerships, and M&A. Together, these areas are designed to accelerate IBM's quantum roadmap beyond delivering the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer in 2029, and advance quantum leadership anchored in the United States.
It builds on the broadest quantum foundation in the industry, including the largest fleet of quantum computers across the globe, the most widely used quantum software, and a client and partner network of more than 340 organizations running real workloads today. This investment funds the next stage of that foundation, carrying IBM's lead from today's commercial quantum computers towards fault-tolerant scale systems.
IBM's quantum leadership today
This investment reinforces IBM's mission to bring useful quantum computing to the world and builds on the most advanced quantum program in the industry:
- Expansive Global Quantum Fleet: IBM operates the world's largest and most powerful fleet of quantum computers. As of today, the company has deployed over 90 quantum systems across the globe via the cloud and dedicated on-site deployments – including more quantum computers than the rest of the industry combined. This fleet includes quantum computers operating at IBM quantum centers in New York and Germany; at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, PINQ in Quebec, The University of Tokyo and RIKEN in Japan, Yonsei University in South Korea, and BasQ in Spain, with additional systems coming soon in Chicago, and at Amaravati Quantum Valley in India.
- Roadmap to the World's First Large-Scale, Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer: IBM has a clear path to delivering IBM Quantum Starling in 2029 - the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer which will be capable of executing 20,000 times more operations than today's existing systems. Starling will lay the foundation for IBM Quantum Blue Jay, which will run one billion quantum operations across 2,000 qubits. These systems will deliver the transformative scale needed for quantum to take on the most challenging and currently intractable problems across science and industries.
- Expanding Adoption: Since 2017, IBM's quantum program has signed more than $1.1 billion in contracts with clients to advance their exploration and use of quantum computing. Today, a network of more than 340 IBM Quantum Network members spanning financial services, healthcare, materials science, academia and government are using IBM quantum computers to pursue real-world algorithmic discovery.
- America's First Quantum Foundry: With the support of the United States Department of Commerce, IBM recently announced plans to launch Anderon, the world's first pure-play quantum wafer foundry. IBM will contribute $1 billion of cash into Anderon, alongside significant intellectual property, assets, and a skilled workforce.
- Path to Quantum Advantage: IBM is confident that its partners using IBM quantum computers will demonstrate quantum advantage in 2026. The company is seeing accelerated progress on this path as evidenced by recent experiments that confirm quantum as a useful scientific tool, including work with the Cleveland Clinic and RIKEN to model a 12,635-atom protein; a collaboration with national laboratories and universities to accurately simulate magnetic materials; and research with universities to prove the nature of a never-before-seen molecule.
- The World's Most Popular Quantum Software: Developed by IBM, Qiskit is the world's preferred software stack for quantum computing and algorithms research, built to optimize and execute quantum workloads and used by nearly 70 percent of quantum developers today and have executed over 4 trillion quantum circuits on quantum computers.
