It is estimated that this years event will attract nearly 150,000 local and overseas professionals, including 30,000 overseas buyers. This years exhibit will boast a complete IT product line, that provides buyers with a one-stop purchasing center.

International giants and potential partners are all gathered together to provide the most comprehensive solutions. Products that are available in the exhibition include computer components, peripherals, storage equipment, software and audio/video digital products to name a few. The venue also features many of the best all-star IT companies, including Intel, AMD, ATI, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, Marvell, nVIDIA, VIA Technologies, Transcend, Kingston Technology and many others.

In recent years, digital entertainments have become more and more popular and relevant products have become this year's spotlight. With the rise and popularity of digital music, many vendors will be demonstrating their hottest-selling portable music players such as MP3 and MP4.
Another important product for digital entertainment is the new generation of DVD namely Blu-Ray and High Definition (HD) format. These new technologies will be entering mass production and should be available in the second half of this year. Domestic optical disc makers such as RiTEK and CMC will be displaying a series of Blu-Ray CD-ROM and HD disks in the exhibition.

Also, Intel and AMD, two CPU incumbents and rivalry companies, have recently launched the new generation dual-core processor. Intel will display a series of dual-core and even multi-core for desktop computer, notebook computers and server processors. AMD will put the entire line of 64-byte processors on parade, including dual-core Turion64x2 and desk-top AM2-architecture processors.
