The event is expected to be AI-centric by observers as computing and AI goes hand in hand. Some observers are expecting that Huang will also focus on the AI PC boom that has reignited and many vendors are reporting better revenues from this segment.
Jensen Huangโs Keynote Will Stream Live
Nvidiaโs official YouTube channel will stream the keynote live. A Twitch cast hasnโt been announced for the session, so it is expected to be a YouTube exclusive. Obviously, there will be many third-party streams, maybe with a few seconds delay.
Over 20 sessions will cover different sectors during the Computex 2024 conference. Research, healthcare, and life science are just a few examples. Marc Hamilton, VP of solution architecture at Nvidia, will also speak at the Taitra forum, which is dedicated to technology discussions.
Hamiltonโs address titled โInfra Build Train Goโ will beย a part of โLetโs Talk Generative AIโ forum which will be a key focus of the event. Along with Hamilton, Jerry Chen, Nvidiaโs Director of Global Business Development will discuss improvement in productivity for designing modern semiconductors. He will talk at the Domain-Adapted Large Language Models for Chip Design Productivity forum.
Taiwan Is an Important Country
Jensen Huang was seen roaming the streets of Taipei recently. He arrived on May 26 for the Computex 2024 conference and his early arrival hints at the importance of Taiwan for the company. A reporter spotted him at a night market in Daโan District on Wednesday. Huang spoke briefly about the countryโs role in technological development. He said,
โTaiwan is one of the most important countries in the world. It is at the center of the electronics industry. The computer industry is built because of Taiwan, so itโs a very, very important country.โ Source.
Many officials from Nvidiaโs rivals, like AMD and Intel, will also participate. Intelโs Lunar Lake CPUs are to be released in quarter three this year, but observers are expecting to see Lunar Lake-embedded laptops at Computex 2024.

Qualcomm also has a keynote on Monday. The companyโs Snapdragon X processors are about to be launched on laptops in June of this year. Laptops embedded with AMDโs latest processors are also expected to be showcased.
AMD and Nvidia are planning to build their research and development facilities in Taiwan. The country has gained importance as it is home to many big brand names in PC manufacturing like Asus, Acer, and ASRock. Reporter asked Huang if he visits Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company during his visits, Huang said, โI have had many visits with TSMC. Iโm looking forward to seeing CC (TSMC CEO C.C. Wei).โ
