NVIDIA Computex 2026 Venue
Kicking off today is the annual Computex tradeshow in Taiwan. Home to countless system and device manufacturers, Computex is a cornucopia of consumer electronics, and these days is also the biggest PC-centric show of the year. And even though it takes place in June, barely half-way through the year, the show routinely sets the stage for the consumer and server products set to launch later in the year, in the tech industry’s critical third and fourth quarters.
There are several major keynotes during this year’s show. While AMD has passed on hosting a keynote this year – they are essentially smack-dab in the middle of their product cycles – Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm and are all at the show. And, as the largest of the major tech companies at the show, it is perhaps only fitting that NVIDIA gets to kick things off with the first major keynote.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Preview
As is typically the case, NVIDIA CEO (and home-grown Taiwanese rockstar) Jensen Huang will be headlining the company’s Computex-adjacent 2026 keynote. Technically part of the company’s coincidentally-timed GTC Taipei trade show, this is none the less the first major keynote of the Computex season – and with no rival programming, it is effectively the show’s opening keynote.
NVIDIA’s predominant business interest these days continues to be everything AI – backed by the explosion in demand for hardware for AI training and inference – and as you would expect, AI will be a big part of this year’s keynote.
In terms of products, NVIDIA just unloaded a number of major product announcements two months ago at the company’s exclusive conference, GTC 2026, so do not expect NVIDIA to have a ton of hardware announcements for Computex. Still, the company did not come to Taiwan empty-handed – and they are not being coy about it, either. On Friday the company posted a tweet to their account promising “A new era of PC.” and coordinates for the keynote venue in Taiwan.
A new era of PC.

And to remove all doubt that we are talking about Windows PCs here, Microsoft’s Windows account posted the same message at the same time, while Arm also posted the same a few hours later.
Among the worst-kept secrets in the industry right now is that NVIDIA has been working on an SoC for consumer Windows-on-Arm devices, codenamed N1X. We will not read into the tea leaves too much ahead of the keynote, but NVIDIA has already laid the groundwork for such a chip with GB10 – the heart of the DGX Spark and other small form factor PCs – so it would seem that they intend to extend their reach. Just where they are reaching (and how much money they are reaching for) we will no doubt find out this evening.
Consumer PC ambitions aside, we are also expecting this year’s keynote to be heavy on robotics from NVIDIA, which has made it one of their pillars of their Taiwan efforts to help the island nation become a leader in robotics, as well. So we would not be surprised to see some robotics-related revelations from the company to go with this.
Taiwan in general is expected to be a major focal point of this year’s keynote, even more than usual. From a business standpoint, the company is heavily reliant on partners in Taiwan to supply parts for, build, and ship systems integrating NVIDIA’s GPUs, CPUs, and networking gear. So a key part of NVIDIA’s Computex keynotes in recent years has been recognizing those partners, and helping to promote them. Adding to that, construction is about to begin on NVIDIA’s local Constellation campus, and Jensen went on the record last week during GTC Taipei as stating that he expected the company to spend 150 billion dollars a year in Taiwan. In short, NVIDIA’s ties to Taiwan run deep, and they are going to get deeper.
Finally, no NVIDIA keynote would be complete without some kind of data center AI tie-in. NVIDIA is not yet shipping Vera Rubin in volume, so Computex would be a prime opportunity to promote the hardware a bit more ahead of its launch later this year.
NVIDIA’s keynote is scheduled to run for 120 minutes, and will kick off at 8pm PT/11pm ET/11am CST/03:00 UTC.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Coverage Live
It’s now a few minutes before 8pm Pacific, and we are just waiting on NVIDIA’s keynote to kick off. These normally never start quite on time, so we’ll see how things go.
And the moment I say that, NVIDIA has started rolling the pre-keynote disclaimers. So here we go!
Starting as always with an introductory video. The theme: tokens and AI.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Intro Video
There’s also a heavy emphasis on robotics, particularly with how AI enables it.
“And here in Taipei is where it all begins”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Intro Video Taipei
Here’s Jensen!
“Welcome to GTC Taiwan”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Jensen
Jensen apparently brought his parents.
There are apparently 70 watch parties for the keynote in Taiwan.
Jensen says that he has a lot of partners in Taiwan to thank.
“NVIDIA’s ecosystem spans all the way upstream to all of our supply chain” and “downstream to data centers and end-users”
NVIDIA is going to talk about almost all of the ecosystem tonight.
And to start things off, Jensen is leading with agentic AI.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Agentic AI
The number of commits to GitHub has been growing by leaps and bounds. It has nearly tripled in 2026, thanks to AI coding tools improving the productivity of software engineers.
Jensen also argues that this will spur hiring more software engineers since the output per engineer is increasing. “This will show up in our economy somehow soon.”
“Tokens are now profitable units of revenue”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Agent Hardness
Jensen is now recapping the execution flow for for agenetic AI and individual agents.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Agent Example
And showing examples of simple AI coding prompts/projects.
“This is now the new computing pattern.” “For two years we have been building towards this, and now it has arrived.”
And to bring things back to NVIDIA, Jensen is talking about how thee company’s CUDA-X libraries have helped to bring this all about.
Rolling a video on the subject.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote CUDA X Promo Video
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote CUDA X Promo Video 2
“The computing pattern of software is going to change”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Agent Harness Changes
Tomorrow’s agents are going to be very sophisticated users of tools. Which is going to make the CUDA-X libraries very important for agents.
The CUDA-X libraries will come with skills to help agents understand how to do tasks.
And all of this is going to require a large collection of hardware: GPU for LLM, CPU for orchestration, memory, DPUs, etc.
This is why NVIDIA built its complete Vera Rubin ecosystem. The full stack.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Rubin Full Stack
Ultimately NVIDIA’s partners don’t want to just buy computers, but they want to build AI factories. Which is why NVIDIA has started to transform itself again.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote DSX AI Factory Platform
Now rolling another video, this time on AI factory infrastructure build-outs.
NVIDIA DSX is the blueprint for building this factories
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote DSX Factory Video
All of this starts with simulations before anything is even built.
Once the physical infrastructure is built, then NVIDIA’s software is the next step. DSX MaxLPS helps data center operators manage power consumption and run more hardware at a given power budget.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote DSX Factory 2
And DSX Flex to cooperate with energy providers to scale back data center power consumption when energy availability is low.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote DSX Factory Ecosystem
Apparently the cost of a gigawatt of AI infrastructure is going to reach 100 billion dollars. Which is why simulations are so critical; there’s no room for error.
Jensen is now talking about the various companies who provide hardware and cloud services built from NVIDIA’s hardware and software.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote DSX Providers
“Compute is revenue now. Compute is profit”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Compute Is Revenue
And recapping how NVIDIA has built all of this, allowing them to produce an ecosystem of hardware and software that is faster to setup and higher performing than anything else. Extreme co-design in practice.
“1 gigawatt means 1 gigawatt. That is all the power generation you can do.”
Throughput per Watt is revenue.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote TTW
Cheaper chips don’t help if the cost of running them is going to be higher.
“The more you buy, the more you make.”
Meanwhile the software for these systems is changing all the time. AI has completely changed since Hopper, never mind Ampere. LLMs to MoE to agentic.
“You cannot predict how long your system will last. I can.”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Useful Life
Jensen is promising a longer useful life for NVIDIA hardware.
“Useful AI is here. Profitable AI is here.”
And to help with that, Jensen is announcing that Vera Rubin is now in full production.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Rubin Full Production
Meanwhile assembly times have gone down. A single Grace Blackwell rack can now apparently be assembled in 5 minutes.
Jensen is thanking everyone for getting Vera Rubin in full production.
Now rolling another video, this time on Vera Rubin.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Rubin TSMC
The video includes quick clips of the various Taiwanese suppliers who are part of the Vera Rubin ecosystem, such as TSMC and Foxconn.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Rubin Partners
“Thank you Taiwan.”
Vera Rubin wasn’t just built to run AI, but it was built to run agents.
The computer that can run agents will be the most advanced in the world.
Now bringing out a Vera Rubin rack.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Rubin Racks
NVL72. Groq. Vera CPU racks. Networking racks.
“NVIDIA’s token cost is the lowest in the world” thanks to extreme co-design and NVIDIA’s understanding of inference, leading to NVL72.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Rubin Tray
There are no cables in a Vera Rubin compute tray.

NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote NVLink Switch Tray
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Ethernet Switches
NVIDIA is now the largest networking company in the world.
Now shifting gears to the next major industry that NVIDIA is going to be a part of.
“Let’s talk about CPUs”
Vera CPUs built for the age of AI.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera CPUs
“Agents are impatient.”
“It is vital that we make the CPUs as low-latency as possible”
Jensen is now outlining how Vera CPUs are used in NVIDIA’s various tray types. Vera Rubin compute racks, CPU racks, and then storage racks.
“NVIDIA is already one of the largest CPU makers in the world.”
CPUs are now part of the critical path of the most expensive part of the data center.
Now recapping the hardware specs for Vera that NVIDIA has previously disclosed.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Specs
Single-threaded performance has to be world-class. “Highest in the world” IPC.
Bandwidth per core and bandwidth overall are also critical.
Vera is at reticle limits. “No chiplet tax.”
Jensen is again emphasizing how much bandwidth the chip offers, both for the internal fabric and externally.
It is a CPU created for agentic users, rather than for human users.
These CPUs need to be performant, but also energy-efficient. (Power spent on CPUs takes away from power that could be used for token generation)
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Perf Comparison
Suffice it to say, NVIDIA believes they will have the lead here.
Now rolling another video, this time on Vera.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera CPU Video
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera CPU Specs 2
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera C2C
NVIDIA is claiming that Vera will deliver 1.8x the agentic performance of x86 CPUs.
“Vera is the CPU for the age of agents.”
“This is going to be our new major growth driver.”
“Vera will be the most optimized agentic CPU in the world” thanks to all of the optimization work that already went in to bringing current workloads to Grace.
Jensen is now talking a bit about early Vera benchmarks.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Benchmarks
3x faster SQL processing.
“Vera is completely revolutionary.”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Vera Early Adopters
The major AI/agentic firms – OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX – will be early adopters for Vera.
“This market will surely be larger than the last” because there will be more agents than people.
And that is Vera.
Now going back to the application pattern for agentic AI.
Announcing the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit for Enterprise AI.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote NVIDIA Agent Toolkit
AI needs models, harnesses, tools & skills, and a runtime. NVIDIA provides all of that with their toolkit.
Open models. And OpenShell to run them while providing privacy and security.
How will these agents be used? Chip design, for a start.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Cadence Super Agent
Now rolling a video about the Cadence announcement and more broadly on the the chip design and verification process.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Cadence Video
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Cadence Video 2
NVIDIA is doing this in part for themselves; they need good chip design tools for their own future products. Tools that can bring weeks of work in chip design down to minutes.
Announcing today the Nemotron 3 Ultra, NVIDIA’s next open model.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Nemotron 3 Ultra
Nemotron 3 Ultra is 5 times faster (than what is unclear). And 30% lower cost to run in terms of FLOPS and inference time.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Nemotron Cost
And NVIDIA is currently working on Nemotron 4.
And that seems to be a wrap on agentic AI, at least in the data center. Now it seems we’re pivoting to personal computing.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote 40 Years Of PC
The PC is where NVIDIA got its start.
Jensen is recapping the history of the PC and of Windows.
Windows was (and is) abstracted from the hardware. BIOSes, drivers, abstraction layers, multimedia APIs, etc.
“40 years later, MS and NVIDIA are going to reinvent the PC.”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote MS + NVIDIA
Apparently Jensen is going to be at another presentation tomorrow night alongside Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella where they will talk more about this.
The new operating system is the old operating system plus large language models.
The modern application will be replaced by agentic runtimes.
Now running another video, this time on the PC. What becomes of the PC in the age of agents.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark GPU
Introducing RTX Spark.
TSMC 3nm process. 70B transistors. 20 CPU cores. 6144 CUDA cores.
“We’re reinventing the personal computer.”
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark
So this is N1X.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark Laptops
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote N1X Chip
Built in partnership with Mediatek.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark Specs
It is unclear off the bat how this is different from the GB10 chip used in the DGX Spark (if it is different at all).
Thanks to Windows’ compatibility layer as well as all the software already ported to Windows-on-Arm, RTX Spark can run the entire Windows ecosystem. Plus the NVIDIA ecosystem.
Rolling another video, this time about agentic AI workloads running on RTX Spark.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark Agentic Video
In this video a house is being designed using agentic AI, with the human operator fine-tuning the design.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark Agentic Video 2
Also announcing that Adobe Premiere and Photoshop are getting an update for RTX Spark to make it twice as fast.

RTX Spark laptops.
RTX Spark desktops.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark Desktop MSI
A home machine for running agentic AI locally, without running up cloud computing bills.
(This MSI system looks like a repaint of their GB10 system)
And finally, a DGX Station for Windows.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote DGX Station For Windows
This is for developers who are inside the Windows ecosystem instead of the Linux ecosystem, which the DGX Station already covers.
Jensen is comparing the evolution of the PC to the phone. People don’t actually do much calling on smartphones these days. So how will PCs change?
AI agentic computers will be running in your house. Jensen is going heavily on the idea of agenetic AIs and MS’s Copilot vision of machines that do tasks for the owner.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote RTX Spark Roadmap
And here’s a roadmap for the RTX Spark. There will be Vera Rubin and Rosa Feynman Spark processors down the line in 2028 and 2030 respectively.
And that is RTX Spark.
Now shifting gears again, this time to robotics.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Robotics Compute Is Data
Jensen is outlining the process to getting to world foundation models. Bootstrapping from teleoperation and simulations to synthetic data, and finally a world model.
Announcing NVIDIA Cosmos 3 for robotics.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Cosmos 3
Jensen believes that NVIDIA has the best AI model for robotics.
Now rolling a video on Cosmos 3.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Cosmos 3 Promo Video
In short, Cosmos is all about understanding the physical world, and being able to accurately simulate the phsyical world.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Cosmos Promo Video 2
“Now that we have AI, compute is data.”
Cosmos is an open model, just like Nemotron. The data is open as well.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Cosmos Coalition
One place that Cosmos will be used: robotaxis. Particularly with NVIDIA’s Drive Hyperion platform.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Drive Hyperion
Rolling another video. This time it’s Alpamayo and Drive Hyperion.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Drive Promo Video
“Alpamayo: the world’s first reasoning autonomous vehicle.”
Shifting gears quickly again to Isaac GROOT platform.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Isaac Groot
Cars are just a specialized application of robotics.
And for everything else, there is NVIDIA’s robotics platform.
Announcing today: the NVIDIA Isaac GROOT Reference Humanoid Robot. A Jetson Thor-based robot with NVIDIA’s software stack and a highly articulated body and hands from Unitree.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Isaac Groot Reference Robot
Now rolling a video about the Isaac GROOT reference robot.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Isaac Groot Promo Video
“So many robots”
And that is robotics. It looks like it’s time to start wrapping things up.
NVIDIA Computex 2026 Keynote Wrapup
Whether it’s the data center, PCs, or robotics, all of it is tied together by the use of agentic AIs. Vera Rubin is in full production, Vera is going to change the CPU world, NVIDIA-powered Windows PCs, and the future of AI-powered robotics.
“I have one more thing for you.”
NVIDIA put together an AI-generated recap video, like they did for GTC a few months ago.
