COMPUTEX 2026 is set to run from Tuesday, June 2, to Friday, June 5, local time at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taipei, Taiwan. (The dates generally correspond to June 1 to June 4 in the United States, with Eastern time lagging Taipei time by 12 hours.)
COMPUTEX is one of the world's largest annual trade shows focused on technology and computer hardware. Global industry giants unveil and launch innovative new products in artificial intelligence (AI) and computing, robotics and mobility, and next-generation technology.
Nvidia (NVDA 0.43%) CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to deliver a keynote ahead of COMPUTEX on Monday, June 1, at 11 a.m. local time (Sunday, May 31, at 11 p.m. ET). The AI chip and infrastructure leader is calling its pre- and extra-trade-show events "GTC Taipei." GTC (GPU Technology Conference) is the name of Nvidia's huge annual AI trade show held in Silicon Valley in March. The company also held a GTC in Washington, D.C., this year.
Will Nvidia stock get a lift from Huang's presentation or those of other Nvidia executives who are presenting throughout the week?

What products did Nvidia unveil, announce, or launch at COMPUTEX 2024?
Nvidia unveiled several new data center and gaming products during COMPUTEX 2024. I think Huang's biggest announcement -- and perhaps the one investors liked most -- was that the company was accelerating its release cadence for new data center graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture to once a year from every other year. Huang previewed the planned GPU architectures for the next couple of years.
Huang also announced the widespread adoption of the company's Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform, which the company touts as the world's first Ethernet fabric for AI. Huang also said that Nvidia planned to launch new Spectrum-X products every year.
