Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will deliver a 90-minute keynote at Computex trade show in Taiwan on May 20, 2025.

He will present Nvidia’s progress in AI server systems, cloud computing, and robotics.

Nvidia has shifted from gaming graphics chips to AI chips since ChatGPT’s rise in 2022.

The company is also developing central processing units (CPUs) for Microsoft Windows, utilizing technology from Arm Holdings.

Computex 2025 hosts 1,400 exhibitors and is the first major tech event in Asia post-pandemic.

🧠 Food for thought

1️⃣ NVIDIA’s strategic pivot from GPUs to AI accelerated computing

NVIDIA’s evolution from gaming graphics to AI dominance represents one of technology’s most successful strategic pivots.

The company’s transformation hinged on a crucial 2006 innovation: the CUDA architecture, which unlocked GPU parallel processing power for scientific research and AI development beyond gaming applications1.

This early bet on parallel computing positioned NVIDIA perfectly for the deep learning revolution, with its GPUs providing 10-100X performance gains over traditional CPUs for AI training2.

The financial impact has been extraordinary, with data center revenue (primarily AI) growing 524% to constitute over 20% of total revenue, demonstrating how effectively NVIDIA capitalized on emerging AI market opportunities2.

By 2016, over 3,000 AI startups were leveraging NVIDIA’s platform for applications ranging from medical imaging to stock trading, establishing an ecosystem that strengthened its market position3.

Jensen Huang’s vision extended beyond just selling chips to creating a comprehensive AI computing platform, similar to how Intel dominated personal computing in the 1990s. This long-term strategy is now paying massive dividends3.

2️⃣ The competitive landscape of AI chip manufacturing intensifies

While NVIDIA currently dominates AI chips with a valuation approaching $2.8 trillion, the competitive landscape is rapidly evolving with powerful challengers4.
