BC Award Winners to be Announced on May 24 and Displayed On-Site at the BC Award Pavilion
COMPUTEX
2022 Officially Begins
Realtek
RTD2892NND Won the Best Choice of the Year of BC Award 2022
Asia’s
leading B2B ICT exhibition, COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2022 has officially begun on May 24
in Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1 (TaiNEX 1) 4F concurrently with the
startup focused exhibition, InnoVEX. This also marks the first ever hybrid
COMPUTEX where an online platform, COMPUTEX CYBERWORLD is used to complement
the physical exhibition, COMPUTEX TAIPEI. One of the organizers, Taipei
Computer Association (TCA) announced that the focusing on the global digital
transformation procurement demands, the main themes of COMPUTEX 2022 are: Innovative
Computing, Accelerating Intelligence, Digital Resilience, Connected
X-Experience, Sustainability, and Innovations and Startups.
COMPUTEX
2022 was joined by various industry leading companies including GIGABYTE, Delta
Electronics, KIOXIA, Innodisk, Jetway, Infineon, Voltronic Power, IONE, ATEN,
tsta, K-Best, Plustek, Silicon Labs, Artilux, Protech, Jorjin, Minpo, the
IDB-AI Pavilion and more. The products this year includes various innovative
products and key components for the ICT industry. The exhibitors of COMPUTEX
2022 will showcase their latest products and innovations in AI, 5G, HPC,
metaverse, gaming hardware, creator laptops, automotive electronics, edge computing,
smart factories, smart life, green energy, and more.
The
official award of COMPUTEX, the Best Choice Award (abbreviated as BC Award) has
continued to be a reliable product procurement guide. The winners of Best
Choice Award 2022 are announced today on May 24 and in total there are 29
winning products from industry leading companies including GIGABYTE, Realtek,
MSI, G.Skill, Trend Micro, PLANET Technology, AAEON, ASRock, Jorjin, Chenbro
Micom, MiTAC, E Ink, Kenmec, Beseye, Acer, Wincomm, ArmorX, PUFsecurity, CHT
Security, Openfind, Maxnerva Tech, Coolso, and more. The winning products cover
5 major digital transformation trends including metaverse, gaming &
entertainment, HPC, AI, and Cybersecurity. This year, the winner of BC Award’s
highest honor, the Best Choice of the Year is the Realtek RTD2892NND.
The
judges panel stated that as the market needs more and better high-quality
content, video content often needs to be compressed due to bandwidth
limitations or was originally in low resolution. This makes the videos
impossible to correct without upgrading equipment or using dedicated hardware/
software mix. The industry urgently needs an innovative and effective solution
to solve this problem especially as more materials recorded with legacy
equipment deteriorate without any means of preserving them.
Realtek’s
innovation with the RTD2892NND AI Super Resolution Fidelity Recovery IC won the
Best Choice of the Year Award because it “is a powerful AI-based super
resolution IC and is the only IC currently available in the market capable of
restoring the texture and resolution of original content. It can be paired with
existing display controllers and provides top-level picture quality. The
RTD2892NND uses various neural network models for different scenes and objects
to remove noise and enhance the picture quality adaptively. It also prevents
over-compression issues due to limited bandwidth.”
Metaverse & XR, Gaming & Entertainment, Smart AI
Applications are the Main Categories of Best Choice Award 2022
The
BC Award jury panel which consists of representatives from government,
academics, and research institutes, stated that the post pandemic era has
brought new needs for both enterprises and society. The current trend shows that the procurement
of digital transformation solutions has become a key issue for buyers. The main
categories of Best Choice Award 2022 focused on products, solutions, and
innovations in metaverse, gaming & creators, as well as smart AI
applications.
The
metaverse as proposed by Meta (formerly Facebook) is applicable for both
working from home (WFH) & learning from home (LFH), virtual socializing,
and more. However, the underlying technology required for its optimum
implementation will require cloud based HPC servers, 5G, XR, wearables, and the
appropriate hardware.
In
addition, many AI applications have also matured, so smart application devices
with AI functions are also among the key trends for this year’s award-winning
products. The products include edge AI processors, e-paper, image processing
chips, body temperature sensors, epidemic prevention robots, and more;
including AI powered digital mixers. The software-hardware integration combined
with AI will be beneficial for everyone across the board by enhancing the user
experience and providing a way for manufacturers to differentiate their
products; improving their product value and marketability.
BC Award – Cybersecurity
Award Showcases Taiwan’s Cybersecurity Products & Solutions
TCA
stated that under the current trends of digital transformation increases the
importance of cybersecurity. According to MarketsandMarkets,
the global cybersecurity market will grow from USD 217.9 Billion in 2021 to USD
345.4 Billion in 2026 with a CAGR of 9.7%. The main driving force of this
growth is the need to improve the existing cybersecurity infrastructure,
especially in terms of cyber-attack prevention and countermeasures in the
vertical market and cross-industry applications.
TCA
stated that the trends of digital transformation point to the increasing
importance of cybersecurity; even in a national, social, and enterprise level.
In addition, the Taiwanese government has also been promoting the
“Cybersecurity is National Security 2.0” strategy, which aims to further
strengthen Taiwan’s cybersecurity capabilities.
To
drive the development of cybersecurity products and services, TCA has expanded
the BC Award 2022 to include the BC Award – Cybersecurity awards. The goal is
also to explore Taiwan’s excellent cybersecurity products and services, then
promote them globally with the BC Award to further expand their reach and
market potential.
TCA
stated that in terms of cybersecurity development, Taiwan’s core advantage lies
in chip security and secured Netcom equipment. With Taiwan’s position as the
world’s key semiconductor manufacturer, Taiwan has become the main supplier and
foundry of Netcom infrastructure globally. After the US started the Clean
Network initiative, the proportion of Taiwan’s Netcom equipment OEM has
increased significantly. With Taiwan’s strength in secured Netcom equipment,
this has become one of the advantages for Taiwan manufacturers to develop their
own cybersecurity products and solutions.
In
terms of cybersecurity products and services, Taiwan’s cybersecurity industry
is currently still growing in both scale and applications. Taiwan’s
cybersecurity industry is currently dominated by small enterprises, with only a
few medium and large enterprises playing an active role in it. The main market
for cybersecurity in Taiwan is the financial industry.
The
Taiwan Stock Exchange recently issued the Cyber Security Guidelines for
TWSE/TPEx-Listed Companies on December 23, 2021 which stated that “listed
companies should assign adequate human resources and equipment to the planning
and monitoring of their cyber security systems and execution of cybersecurity
management procedures.” This will significantly affect the ongoing trends of
cybersecurity and create more room for growth and development. As cybersecurity
software products will further grow in the future, Taiwanese cybersecurity
companies can consider internationalizing and expanding their operations.
TCA
announced that the winner of the BC Award – Cyber Security Excellence Award is Trend
Micro Vision One. The jury panel stated that the product won the prestigious
award because it “provides centralized visibility and response from a single
console. It analyzes and correlates security telemetries from endpoints,
servers, cloud workloads, email, and networks. This enables the security
operations centers (SOCs) in organizations to prioritize and respond to threats
more easily and effectively by following the three stages of attack surface
risk management lifecycle: discover attack surface, assess risks, and mitigate
risks.”
