Jensen Huang and Lisa Su in Taipei

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and AMD CEO Lisa Su arrived in Taipei on May 24 ahead of Computex 2026, putting two of the chip industry’s most closely watched executives in Taiwan more than a week before the show opens. Wccftech reported both executives had landed in the city as preparations accelerated for the annual PC and semiconductor gathering. Computex’s official site says the 2026 show will run from June 2 to June 5 across Taipei venues including Nangang Exhibition Center halls, TWTC and TICC. ### Why are Huang and Su in Taipei this early? May 24 matters because Computex does not begin until June 2, leaving more than a week for private meetings, partner events and keynote preparation. Wccftech said Huang’s arrival came with the countdown to Nvidia’s GTC Taipei activities, while Su’s presence puts AMD at the center of pre-show attention as rivals line up product announcements. (wccftech.com) Taipei is the natural staging ground because Computex remains one of the industry’s main venues for PC, AI and component launches. The official Computex description says 1,500 exhibitors and 6,000 booths are planned for 2026 under the theme “AI Together.” ### What is Computex 2026 expected to focus on? (wccftech.com) Computex 2026 is officially centered on AI and computing, robotics and mobility, and next-generation technology, according to the event organizer. That framing aligns with the companies expected to dominate coverage, including Nvidia, AMD and Intel. (computextaipei.com.tw) HotHardware reported that pre-show speculation has already focused on Intel’s Wildcat Lake chips, additional Intel Arc G3 details and Nvidia’s Vera CPU. The site said a June 1 keynote could be used by Nvidia to position Vera, citing a report from GF Securities via SeekingAlpha. ### Why is Nvidia’s Vera CPU drawing so much attention? (computextaipei.com.tw) Nvidia’s Vera CPU has become one of the main rumors surrounding this year’s event because it extends Nvidia’s push beyond GPUs into data-center processors. HotHardware said the chip is being discussed as an Arm-based design that could be pitched against x86 offerings from Intel and AMD. (hothardware.com) TweakTown reported that Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said on a recent earnings call that the company expects its Grace and Vera CPU lineup to generate around $20 billion in revenue this fiscal year. That figure, if met, would make the CPU business a major revenue contributor rather than a side project to Nvidia’s AI accelerator franchise.

Lisa Su’s arrival puts AMD into the same pre-Computex spotlight as Nvidia at a moment when both companies are competing across AI infrastructure, PCs and high-performance computing. Wccftech’s report did not detail AMD’s launch slate, but it framed Su’s arrival alongside Huang’s as part of a coming “showdown” over next-generation technologies. (tweaktown.com) Intel is also part of that lineup. Wccftech reported earlier that Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is among the executives confirmed for Computex-related appearances, adding another major chipmaker to the Taipei schedule. ### What should readers watch next? June 1 is the next key date because HotHardware said Nvidia could use a keynote then to discuss Vera. (wccftech.com) June 2 is when Computex 2026 officially opens in Taipei, with organizers listing four main venues and a June 2-5 schedule. Jensen Huang, Lisa Su and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan are the named executives most likely to shape the first days of coverage. (hothardware.com) (wccftech.com)
