NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang And AMD’s Lisa Su Arrive In Taipei As Computex 2026 Prepares For A Major AI And Consumer Tech Showdown
Computex 2026 is now only days away, and the technology industry is already turning its attention to Taipei as two of the biggest names in semiconductors have arrived ahead of the event. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su have both landed in Taiwan, setting the stage for a major week of announcements focused on artificial intelligence, consumer hardware, next generation computing, and deeper ecosystem partnerships. Computex 2026 will begin on June 2, with events and conferences taking place across Taipei and the main exhibition activity centered around Nangang District. The show is expected to host hundreds of companies across major exhibition halls, giving global technology brands a platform to showcase their latest products, roadmaps, prototypes, and platform innovations.
NVIDIA confirmed Jensen Huang’s arrival through an official NVIDIA Newsroom post. Speaking with media after landing, Huang said he looks forward to meeting TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei, a key figure in NVIDIA’s advanced chip manufacturing strategy. With AI infrastructure demand still accelerating, NVIDIA’s relationship with TSMC remains one of the most important partnerships in the global semiconductor supply chain.
Touchdown, Taipei.

Huang also attended the Meet a Claw event in Taipei, where he met developers working on autonomous agents. NVIDIA later highlighted the visit through an official NVIDIA post, reinforcing the company’s growing focus on agentic AI, robotics, local AI, and the broader developer ecosystem. Over the coming days, Huang is expected to make several high profile visits across Taiwan’s technology supply chain. He is also expected to host his annual Trillion Dollar dinner with key supply chain partners, a gathering that has become closely watched as NVIDIA continues to command massive influence across AI accelerators, memory demand, server platforms, advanced packaging, and global manufacturing capacity.

NVIDIA’s Taiwan GTC event is scheduled for June 1 at 11 AM Taiwan Standard Time. The company is expected to focus heavily on AI, but Computex has also become an important venue for consumer technology announcements. That means the industry will be watching closely for updates related to RTX platforms, local AI devices, edge computing, workstation hardware, and future graphics technologies.
At the same time, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su has also arrived in Taiwan ahead of Computex. Su shared her arrival through an official Lisa Su post, saying she looks forward to spending time with customers, partners, and industry leaders while also enjoying Taiwan’s food culture. In a recent Taiwan interview, Su also stated that AMD wants to build deeper collaboration with TSMC.

That statement carries major strategic weight. AMD recently announced that its EPYC Venice CPU has entered volume production on TSMC’s 2 nm process, making it one of the most important next generation server products in the company’s roadmap. EPYC Venice is built around Zen 6 and is expected to play a major role in AMD’s push for AI data center growth, high performance computing, and agentic AI infrastructure.
AMD’s Computex presence is expected to lean strongly into AI, but the company traditionally brings consumer announcements as well. With rising CPU demand, stronger competition from Intel, and NVIDIA moving deeper into the CPU and AI platform conversation, AMD is entering Computex 2026 with a major opportunity to reinforce its position across servers, client systems, AI PCs, and consumer hardware. This year’s Computex could become one of the most important in recent memory because the industry is no longer focused on only one product category. AI infrastructure, gaming PCs, workstation platforms, local AI acceleration, advanced packaging, memory supply, edge computing, robotics, and autonomous systems are all converging. NVIDIA and AMD are both expected to use the show to define how they plan to compete in this new cycle.
For NVIDIA, the message will likely center on AI leadership, full stack computing, developer ecosystems, and the continued expansion of its RTX and data center platforms. For AMD, Computex provides a stage to push its CPU and AI momentum, highlight its TSMC partnership, and show how its product roadmap can compete across both enterprise and consumer markets.
With Jensen Huang and Lisa Su both in Taipei, Computex 2026 is already shaping up to be a strategic battleground for the next era of computing. The announcements from both companies could influence everything from AI servers and gaming hardware to next generation laptops, workstations, developer platforms, and the broader semiconductor supply chain.
Which Computex 2026 keynote are you more excited to follow this year, NVIDIA’s AI and RTX showcase or AMD’s next generation CPU and AI platform announcements?
