MSI IPC came to COMPUTEX 2025 ready to flex its industrial muscles. While the main MSI booth had its usual gaming and consumer flair, the industrial computing division took a more grounded approach with a full lineup of AI-driven embedded systems, compact edge PCs, and vertical solutions designed for real-world deployment, not just showroom flash.
EdgeXpert MS-C931: Desktop AI Supercomputer with NVIDIA Grace Blackwell
One of the biggest highlights is the EdgeXpert MS-C931, a desktop AI supercomputer built on the NVIDIA DGX Spark platform. Under the hood, it’s powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, capable of 1,000 AI TOPS FP4 performance. It also features 128GB of unified memory and ConnectX 7 high-speed networking.
This machine is built for AI researchers and developers working in education, finance, and healthcare. If you’re training or running large language models on-premise and need performance without going full rackmount, this setup looks like a promising middle ground.
Live Demos That Show Real Deployment Use Cases
MSI IPC wasn’t just showing off spec sheets — they had live demos set up across multiple industrial applications:
- Smart Retail: Demoed a digital signage solution with ScreenLink, featuring EDID lock for display stability.
- Remote Control: Using SysLink software, they showed off remote device management for industrial hardware.
- Edge AI Chatbots: With AI SmartLink, they showcased chatbot and LLM use cases that make edge devices smarter and more responsive.
- Fanless Palm Box: The MS-918S is a small, completely fanless system made for space-constrained environments.
New Embedded Systems with Intel’s Latest Chips
MSI IPC is also going all in on Intel’s latest platforms, offering embedded motherboards and compact systems based on Twin Lake, Raptor Lake Refresh, Bartlett Lake, and Arrow Lake.
Here are some standout models:
- MS-C926: A slim, fanless box PC built for digital signage and smart retail.
- MS-C927: A tiny but powerful unit using Intel Core Ultra, geared for high-performance edge computing.
- MS-CF20: A full-size ATX motherboard that supports Intel’s 15th Gen Arrow Lake-S, with legacy I/O for long-term industrial compatibility.
Smart Factory and Industrial AI Collabs
MSI IPC is working with multiple partners to build out fully integrated industrial AI systems:
- ACCORDANCE SYSTEMS: Their ARAID backup solution is now paired with MSI’s 4U rackmount platform (MS-C930) to create a unified, plug-and-play smart factory backbone.
- Memorence: Showcased its AI-powered automation suite for industrial inspection tasks, aimed at improving accuracy and reducing human error.
- DeepX: Partnered for a smart parking solution running real-time object detection using DeepX AI accelerator cards in the MS-C906 embedded box.
Final Thoughts
While the gaming world focuses on flashy GPUs and liquid cooling, MSI IPC’s COMPUTEX 2025 booth was all about real-world AI deployments. From on-site LLM training to rugged fanless PCs, and from compact edge AI boxes to high-performance Intel motherboards, MSI IPC is clearly aiming to build the backbone of tomorrow’s smart factories and cities.
If you’re building embedded systems or developing AI at the edge, MSI IPC’s lineup is one worth taking a serious look at.
