ASUS has unveiled 2 workstations built specifically for creative studios and local AI deployments at the IBC convention in Amsterdam. The flagship ExpertCenter Pro ET900A X9 packs an AMD Threadripper processor alongside 3 separate Blackwell workstation GPUs to generate video in real time. It is built for raw computing muscle. For enterprise teams needing private inference, the companion ET500I W8 model uses an Intel Arc Pro accelerator with 32GB of memory.
The ET900A X9 targets production studios handling visual effects, virtual film sets, and high resolution video editing. At its heart sits an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX processor carrying 96 cores. ASUS demonstrated the system running generative AI video streams live on the showroom floor to show how creators can iterate instantly on visual concepts without waiting on cloud queues.
Graphics hardware is equally heavy duty. The configuration runs a multi GPU array featuring 1 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max Q card alongside 2 NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell cards equipped with 72GB of memory each. This setup gives digital artists massive parallel computing headroom to render complex 3D scenes and process uncompressed media without system lag.
For corporate offices wary of sending proprietary files to external cloud platforms, ASUS introduced the ExpertCenter Pro ET500I W8. This workstation operates as a dedicated on premises system for running large language models and autonomous AI agents directly inside an office network.
The system relies on the ASUS UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 accelerator, which provides 32GB of dedicated VRAM. The hardware is tuned specifically for local model execution and creative automation software. By keeping calculations on local silicon, businesses can deploy generative tools while maintaining complete control over their internal data.
