In the past year, we have come into contact with the concept of AI more and more. It can be said that AI has become the most important trend at the moment. The rapid development of AI has also triggered a boom in AIGC (artificial intelligence generated content), bringing many new possibilities to areas such as advertising marketing, game creation and art design.

What is an RTX AI PC

PCs with powerful hardware support have become the most important carrier for the implementation of AIGC, which is the AI ​​PC that has been mentioned frequently recently. Compared with ordinary PCs, its biggest feature is that it can handle a large number of complex AI calculations locally. Different manufacturers have also launched their own AI PC products in the past year, which is dazzling.

But after a period of development, people gradually discovered that what determines the level of AI PC is AI computing power. Only when equipped with RTX GPU with strong enough computing power can AI PC truly have "AI" and be able to handle a large number of complex calculations. From this perspective, RTX AI PC is exactly the area where NVIDIA can play its advantages.

However, many people may still have doubts. Is this so-called AI PC just a fancy word with a different name? What use does it have for our production and life, and what can it bring to us?

Today I came to the first "RTX AI Creation Acceleration Experience Zone" that Colorful has just completed at the Beijing headquarters campus of Mars Era Education. Through the AI ​​technology and application scenarios demonstrated on site, we may be able to get answers to these questions.


Collaborating with NVIDIA: Colorful's RTX AI PC Exploration

As a brand in the entire IT hardware industry chain, Colorful has been deeply exploring the huge application value of AI. It has proposed the concept of "Play with AI and Be Creative" for the AIGC general track, and has jointly launched a series of iGame RTX AI PC high-computing power products with NVIDIA with different aesthetic design styles and technological innovation ideas.


In the newly built RTX AI Creation Acceleration Experience Area, Colorful showcased a number of RTX AI PCs equipped with NVIDIA RTX 40 series graphics cards. With dedicated AI Tensor Cores, the local AI computing power can reach up to 1177 TOPS (currently, lightweight AI PCs without independent GPUs have a computing power of only 10-45 TOPS), as well as the latest Stable Diffusion ComfyUI, WebUI, NVIDIA Canvas and other AI applications. Without exception, these applications have fully utilized the powerful capabilities of NVIDIA RTX AI PCs.

Education has always been an important field for the application of AI technology. Through cooperation with Mars Era Education, Colorful has also been exploring how to integrate AI into CG education.

Moreover, powerful hardware is also a guarantee of learning efficiency. Just imagine that it takes less than a minute for a teacher to produce a picture of a case using AI drawing software on an RTX 40 series graphics card. If the hardware performance is not enough, the students' learning process will take too long, and the teacher may have already moved on to the next knowledge point, which invisibly increases the difficulty of learning.

In fact, as early as 2022, Mars Era joined hands with NVIDIA to create the "GeForce RTX Creative Design Space" based on Colorful designer computers. This is also the first batch of RTX creative design education model rooms in China jointly created by NVIDIA Studio, Colorful and Mars Era.

Through the GeForce RTX Creative Design Space, students were able to experience the auxiliary role of AI technology in the design workflow.

The newly completed RTX AI Creation Acceleration Experience Area will further promote this process and provide students and teachers with a platform to practice AI technology and explore creative possibilities.

Colorful's new high-performance RTX AI PC——iGame Ultra Family

Among the computers on display in the acceleration experience area, the most eye-catching one is the new high-performance RTX AI PC launched by Colorful's high-end sub-brand iGame - iGame Ultra Family. Its POP trendy art design style is quite attractive.





This computer is designed for content creators and ultimate gamers. It is equipped with an iGame GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Ultra W OC 16GB graphics card with a local AI computing power of up to 836 AI TOPS.

The RTX AI platform provides unique performance and acceleration for more than 500 games and applications. With the help of a dedicated AI accelerator - Tensor RT, the AI ​​performance of this computer is further improved.


In the experience area, Colorful exhibited a total of three iGame Ultra Family AI PCs, which demonstrated SD (Stable Diffusion) ComfyUI+InstantID superman photo generation, SD WebUI+AI animation, SD WebUI+Blender to create game concept scenes, SD WebUI+Photoshop to make creative posters, and 2D to 3D style transfer effects in SD WebUI.


Stable Diffusion is a popular generative AI tool that allows users to generate images from simple text descriptions. By leveraging the locally deployed GeForce RTX GPU and TRT to accelerate SD, the Stable Diffusion Web UI can generate images up to twice as fast as before.

The popular Stable Diffusion user interface ComfyUI also supports TensorRT acceleration, and the speed of RTX user graphics can be increased by up to 60%.


When actually experiencing the generation of Superman photos based on the InstantID model, you only need to take a facial photo to generate your own Superman photo based on the preset actions, and the facial capture is quite accurate, so you won't feel like you can't tell it's yourself.

In actual testing, it takes about 10 seconds to generate 6 photos. According to the staff, this time will not exceed half a minute at most.


The creation and editing of video content can be a complex and time-consuming process, and Stable Diffusion can also innovate and accelerate animation production workflows.


The actual experience process is similar to generating pictures. It also uses the camera in Stable Diffusion ComfyUI to capture the face and make some movements and expressions. After setting the style you want, the generated animation can perfectly restore all the series of movements and expressions with almost no sense of disobedience. At the same time, it can also perform post-production processes such as scene replacement, special effects addition and color correction.


At the same time, with the help of NVIDIA DLSS3 and OptiX AI rendering technology, designers can achieve real-time window rendering, upsampling, light reconstruction and other functions in 3D creative applications such as Adobe Substance, Adobe Painter, Blender, D5 renderer and Unreal Engine.

All of the above improvements in performance, execution speed, and compatibility and scalability are actually based on the optimization and acceleration of the GeForce RTX GPU. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU equipped in the iGame Ultra Family AI PC uses TensorRT acceleration technology to accelerate the image generation process and improve efficiency and quality.

What's the point of this? Let's take a simple example. For example, in the original raw photo production time, only 30 works can be used as the basic screening for optimization and modification.

But with the support of NVIDIA RTX AI PC, more than 70 works may be obtained in the same time. In this way, there will be more creative options and sources of inspiration, thus improving the overall learning and creative efficiency.

Colorful's new Source series - Source N14 all-round AI PC

In the experience area, Colorful also displayed the latest Source series Source N14 all-round AI PC, equipped with the 13th generation Intel Core i9 processor and GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU with 321 TOPS local computing power.

Not only that, this notebook also launched the COLORFUL AI Assistant for the first time, which has functions such as AI service assistant, AI learning assistant, AI creative assistant and AI work assistant.



The NVIDIA Canvas application demonstrated on this laptop is also used to generate images, but unlike Stable Diffusion, NVIDIA Canvas is mainly aimed at novice users with zero basic knowledge.

The icons of different colors on the upper right side represent different elements. After selecting the corresponding element, you can paint and add it to any area of ​​the left picture. The right picture will show the generated effect in real time, which can be said to be almost zero delay. At the same time, you can also choose different filter styles at the bottom right. Even if you have no basic knowledge, you can get started quickly.




Colorful gaming laptop's pinnacle - Jiangxing X17 Pro Max

The pinnacle of the Colorful Jiangxing series of gaming laptops, the Jiangxing X17 Pro Max, was also unveiled in the experience area. This laptop is also equipped with the 13th generation Intel Core i9 processor.

In terms of graphics cards, there are two models to choose from: RTX 4080 laptop GPU 12GB with a full power consumption of 175W and RTX 4090 laptop GPU 16GB. In addition, it also has a 17.3-inch 2k 165Hz IPS gaming-level screen, dual Thunderbolt 4 interfaces, DDR5 high-performance memory, etc.



The SD Photo To Painting (SD WebUI) application demonstrated on this notebook allows users to generate pictures of different styles and parameters through the application after modeling, and can make detailed adjustments to these pictures to ultimately get satisfactory results. This can greatly reduce user time and allow users to spend more time on thinking and creativity.



Colorful flagship thin and light gaming laptop - Jiangxing X16 Pro

In addition, there is also a flagship thin and light gaming laptop based on the RTX 4070 laptop GPU on display - the Colorful General X16 Pro. As a pioneer product among Colorful's high-end flagship gaming thin and light laptops, the X16 Pro has a brand-new thin and light mold, which reduces the thickness of the gaming laptop to 19.9mm.

The laptop also has up to 64GB of DDR5 memory, and the 16-inch screen can also be equipped with the ultimate parameters of 2.5K QHD+ 240Hz.




What can NVIDIA RTX AI PC bring to us? Perhaps we already have the answer: it can not only provide powerful computing power to accelerate our creation and workflow, but also promote innovation and development in education and all walks of life.

With the continuous exploration and practice of pioneers such as Colorful, NVIDIA and Mars Era Education, we also look forward to AI technology bringing us more possibilities and surprises in the future.
