The world’s biggest heavyweights in chipmaking and artificial intelligence will converge this week for Taiwan’s premier tech expo, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expected to get a rockstar reception at his keynote speech today.
“This is the beginning of our company’s business because we build our wafers here, and build our systems here,” Huang told reporters last week.Huang, who was born in Taiwan, has high celebrity status on the island, with feverish media attention and fans stopping him for autographs and selfies wherever he goes.
Su is expected to outline AMD’s plans to compete in cutting-edge AI, while Amon will “showcase the AI-accelerated experiences users can expect from their next-generation PCs”, according to the organisers. Suppliers such as Foxconn, traditionally focused on contract electronics for the likes of Apple, have also pivoted in recent years into producing AI hardware.
