ADATA Redefines Computing with AI, Sustainability, and Power at CES 2026

TAIPEI, Taiwan – January 02, 2026 – As the tech world converges on Las Vegas for CES 2026, global memory and storage giant ADATA Technology is set to unveil a formidable lineup of innovations that signal a strategic push into the next era of computing. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the company is leveraging its strong market position and recent record-breaking financial performance to showcase advancements across artificial intelligence, sustainable technology, and high-performance gaming under the banner "Advancing Innovation." The exhibition will feature groundbreaking products from its enterprise brand TRUSTA, industrial arm ADATA Industrial, and enthusiast gaming division XPG.

The announcements paint a clear picture of a company not just participating in current trends, but actively shaping them. From democratizing on-premise AI for small businesses to embedding sustainability into the core of its highest-performing products, ADATA is presenting a holistic vision for a smarter, more efficient, and more responsible technological future.

Democratizing AI: From the Cloud to the Office

Perhaps the most significant strategic move from ADATA is its direct assault on the barriers to AI adoption. Through its enterprise brand TRUSTA, the company is debuting the "TRUSTA AI Scaler Toolkit," a software-defined architecture aimed at making on-premise AI a viable reality for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), schools, and other institutions that have been priced out of the AI hardware race or are wary of cloud dependency.

The toolkit intelligently offloads parts of Large Language Model (LLM) inference workloads, dynamically distributing tasks across a system's GPU, DRAM, and SSDs. This flexible resource allocation is designed to provide a cost-effective solution, allowing organizations to run powerful AI models locally without massive upfront investment in specialized accelerators. This addresses a critical market need for enhanced data privacy, reduced latency, and greater control over AI operations, moving beyond the often-prohibitive costs and data security concerns associated with purely cloud-based services.

Supporting this software innovation is a new wave of formidable hardware. TRUSTA is also unveiling the PCIe 5.0 T7P5 SSD, an enterprise-grade drive engineered specifically for the intense demands of AI data centers. Boasting staggering read/write speeds of up to 13,500/10,300 MB/s, its most impressive metric is its power efficiency, delivering 447 MB/s per watt—a figure approximately 1.6 times higher than comparable products. Paired with a durability rating of 3 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD), the T7P5 directly tackles the dual challenges of performance and the soaring energy consumption of modern data centers. This focus extends to its industrial solutions, where the new A+ IntelliManager platform offers cloud-based management for edge computing devices, further empowering the shift toward distributed intelligence.

Performance Meets Principle: A New Standard for Sustainable Tech

While pushing the performance envelope, ADATA is making a concurrent and equally bold statement on sustainability. The company is embedding eco-conscious design into some of its most powerful new products, challenging the notion that high performance must come at a high environmental cost.

Leading this charge is the XPG NOVAKEY RGB DDR5 memory, a dual award-winner that has already secured both a CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award and a 2026 Taiwan Excellence Award. While it delivers elite gaming performance with speeds up to 8,000 MT/s, its true innovation lies in its construction. The module's striking infinity mirror heatsink is fabricated from 50% recycled aluminum and 85% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic. This commitment extends to the packaging, which is FSC-certified.

This green philosophy is also evident in two new portable SSD concepts. "Project BulletX" is a high-speed external drive featuring a USB4 interface capable of 4,000 MB/s transfers, housed in a shell made from the same 50% recycled aluminum and 85% PCR material blend. Meanwhile, "Project TapSafe" focuses on security with NFC unlocking, while also utilizing 50% PCR materials in its casing. These products demonstrate a tangible effort to reduce virgin material consumption and build a more circular economy within the consumer electronics space, a move that aligns with growing consumer demand and regulatory pressures for greener technology.

A Breakthrough in Memory Capacity for the Prosumer Desktop

In a significant engineering feat, ADATA, in collaboration with MSI and Intel, is set to reveal the industry's first 4-RANK DDR5 CUDIMM high-capacity memory module. This breakthrough effectively doubles the density of conventional 2-RANK designs, allowing for a single module to reach a massive 128GB capacity. This means a standard dual-channel motherboard could support 256GB of RAM, a capacity previously reserved for high-end desktop (HEDT) or server platforms.

The new modules have already been validated for stable operation on prototype Intel Z890 motherboards, signaling their readiness for the next generation of consumer and professional PCs. This leap in capacity is a game-changer for content creators working with 8K video, 3D artists rendering complex scenes, and AI developers training models on their local machines. It enables more complex and data-intensive tasks to be handled without the performance bottlenecks of slower storage, empowering a new level of productivity and creativity on the desktop. Alongside this flagship product, ADATA is also presenting a full lineup of CUDIMM and CSODIMM DDR5 modules with speeds reaching 7,200 MT/s, catering to a wide range of professional AI and big data workloads.

XPG Forges a Complete Ecosystem for Gamers and Creators

ADATA's gaming brand, XPG, is moving beyond individual components to curate a comprehensive and aesthetically unified PC-building ecosystem. Under the theme "Design Aesthetics × Thermal Engineering," XPG is launching a full suite of products designed to work in harmony, delivering both top-tier performance and a striking visual identity.

The centerpiece is the new INVADER X ELITE chassis, a panoramic case featuring bezel-less tempered glass and elegant walnut wood accents. It’s engineered for modern builds, with support for back-connect motherboards and massive 410mm GPUs, while five pre-installed fans ensure optimized airflow. For those seeking a more radical design, the DOCK chassis uses XPG's signature triangular exoskeleton structure in an open-frame format built with recycled materials.

Cooling is also getting a major upgrade. The LEVANTE VIEW PRO 360 is a liquid cooler capable of taming 340W TDP processors, but its standout feature is a 6.7-inch curved display that can be used for monitoring or customization. To handle the immense power draw of next-generation GPUs, XPG is expanding its power supply lineup with the PYMCORE SFX Platinum 1000W for small form factor builds and the semi-digital CYBERCORE III 1200W, which incorporates GPU overload monitoring to handle transient power spikes. This cohesive lineup demonstrates XPG's ambition to provide a complete, high-performance foundation for the most demanding gamers and creative professionals.
