The annual computing showcase that is set to take over Taipei, Taiwan, June 2 through June 5, will bring us all new computing platforms we\u2019ve seen hinted at for months. While Nvidia will be busy hyping up its new homegrown ARM-based CPUs, we\u2019ll likely see refreshed laptops that hope to fight back against the budget-end king of the ring, the MacBook Neo. New single processors with CPU and GPU capabilities combined are reaching unbelievable performance, making at-home computing more accessible than ever.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the computing industry as a whole is threatened by dire tidings due to the skyrocketing cost of memory\u2014including SSDs and RAM. All the major players in silicon, including Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, and\u2014of course\u2014Nvidia, are set to showcase new computing platforms for PCs in all form factors. In the same breath, each company will want to promote processors designed for datacenters and AI hyperscalers, driving cloud-based compute that\u2019s exacerbating the RAM pricing apocalypse.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason you can still hold hope in your heart. Computex is renowned for allowing PC and peripheral makers to get weird with it. Computex 2026 may be the best showcase for why the era of \u201cpersonal computing\u201d is worth fighting for. Gizmodo will be in Taipei and live blogging it all.<\/p>\n

Let the APU (accelerated processing unit) battle commence. AMD\u2019s new Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 chip seems beefy since it\u2019s packing 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and a 40 CU (compute units) GPU. Despite that, the new chip doesn\u2019t seem like a major upgrade from the last-gen Strix Halo lineup. That\u2019s mostly because it\u2019s using the same RDNA 3.5 GPU microarchitecture on a slightly updated Radeon 8065S graphics chip.<\/p>\n

As if you couldn\u2019t get enough \u201cHalo,\u201d AMD is also producing its own mini PC using both last- and current-gen Halo chips called\u2014of course\u2014Ryzen AI Halo. As you can guess by the title, it\u2019s built for AI. Compared to Nvidia\u2019s DGX Spark \u201cAI supercomputer,\u201d AMD\u2019s version is running on good ol\u2019 x86 and supports Windows. By comparison, Nvidia\u2019s little AI box runs on ARM and only supports a customized Linux backend. \u2014Kyle Barr<\/em><\/p>\n
