NVIDIA unveiled on Monday (June 1) a new PC chip that will be available for laptops and desktop computers this fall, as the AI chip giant pushes to bring more AI computing directly onto personal devices.
Huang was outlining Nvidia's latest AI products ahead of the Computex conference in Taipei where leaders of some of the world's largest technology companies are gathering, and highlighted the island's central role in the global technology industry.
During an earnings call in May, Huang said Nvidia's new Vera central processors give it access to a new US$200 billion market, which Huang called it a “new major growth driver”.
The Vera CPU is designed for AI agents and its early adopters include OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX, according to the US$5 trillion chip company's boss.
Huang also dismissed concerns as "complete nonsense" that AI would reduce demand for software engineers, arguing instead that the technology would drive hiring by making workers more productive.
In the same presentation, Huang also unveiled a brand new RTX Spark PC chip, which is of Nvidia’s effort with Microsoft to "reinvent the PC" for the AI era, after three years of collaboration between the companies. The chip is designed to run AI agents locally rather than relying solely on cloud computing.
The speech at the Taipei Music Hall comes around two weeks after he accompanied U.S. President Donald Trump on a visit to Beijing, part of a high-powered corporate delegation, to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The Computex trade show runs June 2 to 5.
