Computex, hosted in Taipei’s every year around the same time, is back and once again brings back the focus on future of computing. One of the largest trade shows, Computex gives us a comprehensive preview of where the PC and computing industries are headed. For the next few days, this will be the home for technology enthusiasts and industry players alike, showcasing cutting-edge innovations and setting the tone for the year ahead.
This year, Computex 2025 kicks off earlier than usual, from May 19 to May 23. Monday’s “media day” promises a whirlwind of press conferences and previews, headlined by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at the Taipei Music Center. AMD’s eagerly anticipated presentation will follow mid-week, ensuring a packed agenda of announcements from leading players like Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Foxconn.
A Spotlight on AI-Driven Innovations
Artificial intelligence is once again at the forefront of the Computex agenda. Last year’s emphasis on AI’s transformative potential spanned data centers, chip innovations, and localised AI applications. This year, we can expect more breakthroughs, particularly when it comes to AI-powered chips and systems.
There could be announcement on a collaboration between Nvidia and MediaTek on an Arm-based system-on-a-chip (SoC) for next-generation laptops, potentially branded as the N1 and N1X. Speculation suggests Nvidia’s role focuses on advanced GPU capabilities, while MediaTek contributes CPU expertise. If true, this SoC could redefine integrated graphics performance, setting a new standard for efficiency and power. There are also suggestions of an early 2026 launch, with some brands unveiling prototypes at Computex.
The PC Evolution
While the industry has seen a deluge of new silicon over the past year, the shift towards AI-centric features is still in its infancy. Intel’s Lunar Lake and AMD’s Ryzen AI processors have started to make inroads, but many popular laptop lines are yet to embrace these advancements. Computex 2025 offers an opportunity for manufacturers to refresh their offerings, highlighting AI readiness, Copilot compatibility, and streamlined workflows.
We can also expect AI integration into other electronics: from TVs to AI-enhanced monitors. These products promise to improve user experiences, automate tasks, and integrate seamlessly with existing software. However, as always, separating genuine advancements from marketing hyperbole will be key.
Intel’s Pivotal Moment
Intel’s presence at Computex 2025 marks a period of transition. The company is navigating significant challenges, including lukewarm reception to its Arrow Lake-S processors and the turbulence has led to leadership changes, with Lip-Bu Tan stepping in as CEO to steer the company forward. The news of major layoff hasn’t helped company’s reputation.
Absent from this year’s keynote lineup, Intel’s focus appears to be on regrouping and planning its next moves. Updates on its Panther Lake processors are expected, offering a glimpse into the Core Ultra 300 series slated for release in late 2025 or early 2026. These processors promise enhanced performance cores, improved efficiency cores, and integrated NPUs.
