Asus showcases Expertcenter Pro ET900N G3 deskside artificial intelligence supercomputer

Asus is using CES 2026 to highlight the Expertcenter Pro ET900N G3, a deskside system built to bring data center class artificial intelligence performance into standard workstation environments. The machine is based on Nvidia’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Platform and targets researchers and developers who need powerful local compute for large models.

Asus is showcasing the Expertcenter Pro ET900N G3 at CES 2026 as part of its push to deliver enterprise grade artificial intelligence infrastructure in accessible deskside systems. The new machine is built around the Nvidia GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Platform and is positioned as a deskside artificial intelligence supercomputer that pairs extreme performance with a unified memory architecture and data center class connectivity.

The company frames the system as a response to what it calls the last mile challenge in modern artificial intelligence development. While massive cloud and data center infrastructure has enabled artificial intelligence development to reach extraordinary heights, Asus argues that many researchers, developers, and data scientists still struggle with workloads that are poorly served by remote resources. These users often need compute that is local, private, and immediately available to support time sensitive experimentation and production work.

Asus says the Expertcenter Pro ET900N G3 is designed for training, fine tuning, or running large artificial intelligence models that exceed the limits of traditional workstations. The goal is to offer data center class performance in a familiar deskside form factor that can be easily deployed in offices and labs. By combining the Grace Blackwell platform with unified memory and robust connectivity, Asus aims to bridge the gap between cloud scale infrastructure and the practical needs of professionals who must run demanding artificial intelligence workloads on site.

Apple plans Intel 18A-P for M7 and 14A for A21

Apple is expected to use Intel’s 18A-P process for M7 chips in MacBook models and Intel’s 14A process for A21 chips in iPhones. The shift points to a broader supplier strategy as Apple moves beyond TSMC for parts of its future silicon roadmap.

Google and other chatbots surface real phone numbers

Generative Artificial Intelligence chatbots are surfacing real phone numbers and other personal details, sometimes by pulling from obscure public sources and sometimes by inventing plausible but wrong contact information. Privacy experts say users have few reliable ways to find out whether their data is in model training sets or to force its removal.

U.S. and China revisit Artificial Intelligence emergency talks

Washington and Beijing are exploring renewed talks on an emergency communication channel for Artificial Intelligence as fears grow over the capabilities of Anthropic’s Mythos model. The shift reflects rising concern in both capitals that competitive pressure is outpacing safeguards.

Artificial Intelligence divides employers as hiring and headcount shift

U.S. hiring beat expectations in April, but employers remain split on whether Artificial Intelligence should drive layoffs, productivity gains, or internal redeployment. At the same time, candidate use of Artificial Intelligence is outpacing employer adoption in hiring, adding new pressure to screening and entry-level recruiting.
