Nvidia Computex 2025 keynote live — will Team Green announce its own CPU? Plus RTX 5060 and more
Join us, as we see the future of computing in Taiwan.
Computex 2025 is here, and we're covering every announcement as it happens live — starting with the Nvidia keynote. Jensen Huang is set to take the stage on May 19 at 11 a.m. in Taiwan time (May 18 at 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT).
As part of the company's own event happening alongside Computex, Nvidia is promising announcements that will "dive deeper into the breakthroughs shaping the future of AI."
That's all very vague, but it could mean a brand new CPU from the company (a first time ever for the company), more news on RTX 50-series and more.
But of course, this isn't just an Nvidia live blog — this is Computex as a whole! Keep it locked on here for all the latest news as it breaks, as well as updates on all the new cool tech we go hands-on with.
To keep you posted on the schedule, Nvidia is talking first, followed by Qualcomm later today, then AMD's keynote (we're expecting 9060 XT news) will happen later this week. Keep it locked on Tom's Guide.
How to watch Nvidia's Keynote

Computex 2025: Latest updates
Under construction
O
And it's over! We'll post a wrap up soon of everything announced.
Nvidia Constellation!! A new office is opening in Taipei, and no doubt this is a great choice to bring the company closer to its respective chipmakers. Huge cheers in the hometown crowd.
Nvidia is even using the simulation of Omniverse to effectively run cities in Taiwan!
Robots will be the next multi-trillion dollar industry, but it will take a lot. But Huang believes Nvidia's robotics division is the one that's able to do it, and that's simply due to scalability. So, little robots in our kitchens doing odd jobs soon? I'll wait and see.
We got a taste of Groot during GTC 2025, and now we're seeing what Groot Dreams can do for pre- and post-training for robots, along with 3D action trajectories for robots to learn human-like actions!
What I find interesting is how the Nvidia Isaac Groot platform is using simulations for robots to work, like walking through particles to simulate how it would walk in real life. Isaac Groot is also open source for anyone to use!
Now we're onto robots! And the ability to "learn to be a good robot." Huang talks about the Newton engine, which will be available in July. And we're getting a look at how it can "bring these robots to life."
Now Huang talks about its open AI models, with an example of Vast using the Nvidia blueprint to build its own AI
Here's a look at the RTX PRO enterprise server. This is a computer for AI agents, and it aims to power through IT infrastructures. And yes, Crysis works on here, too.
DGX Spark, that Project DIGITS Nvidia talked about during CES, will be available in the coming weeks. It's for those who want to have their own supercomputer, and companies will have their own prices for the PC. Everyone can have one for Christmas, Huang says (hoorah!).
Nvidia announces NV Link Fusion. It will aid in building AI infrastructure instead of just singular, specific super chips. It will be able to integrate all companies' custom CPUs and needs, fitting "right into an ecosystem" to incorporate Nvidia GPUs.
Nvidia is now building AI for Taiwan, the first giant AI supercomputer, for the AI infrastructure and ecosystem of Taiwan.
Now a little movie that Jensen (apparently) made for us about how Blackwell is made, from factory to finish, including at TSMC and Foxconn.
The internet as a whole shifts 900 terabits of information per second. In Jensen's words, this NV Link Spine, the backbone of what powers Nvidia's power, moves more traffic with 9 NV Link switches.
Here's a look at the Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip, which came up through the floor as Jensen summoned.
Forget agentic AI (not really), Nvidia is talking about Physical AI. The physical embodiment of this is through robots, using AI to navigate obstacles and using it for thinking. That all needs a lot of computing power, hence Nvidia's Grace Blackwell: (A Thinking Machine).
Those mentioned CUDA libraries can help bring AI to 5G, and even 6G networks, as well as computing, no less. But all through Nvidia!
That's the RTX 5060 in hand, and that background? That's all through graphics.
Now Huang is talking about accelerated computing with its CUDA-X libraries, with it being one of the "many children" under the CEO's wing. As, you know, it isn't all about GPUs, as he claims! This includes Earth-2 for weather analytics, Megatron Dynamo for deep learning and more.
Jensen has an RTX 5060 GPU in his hand and a new MSI laptop with a RTX 5060 in it! We heard it would arrive in May, but now it's looking like a fore-sure launch
What makes Nvidia special is the fusion of its AI and accelerated computing. And now we're getting a sneak peek at what's set to be announced, including graphics that are all artificially made (including a sweet Mercedes).
"We need AI EVERYWHERE!" says Jensen Huang, just like the internet and electricity. That'll be what we all say in 10 years time, he says.
Jensen talks about how Nvidia's roadmap so everyone in the world can go off to build data centers, saying Team Green is an essential for AI all around the globe. Even calling back to the industrial revolution and the makings of electricity. Well, Nvidia wants to be the same.
A GPU chip to AI infrastructure, and "new products that creates new markets" for Nvidia? Yeah, there's something big up Huang's sleeve
"We're going to talk about great partners...and we're at the center of the computer ecosystem." In better news, there are some surprises for us! Nvidia laptop CPU, by chance? Also expect AI and robotics, by the way
And there he is, CEO Jensen Huang on the stage (with some great music). In fact his parents are even in the audience. Nice shout out.
We're starting off with an inspirational speech from an AI face, all about what Nvidia can do with its AI and robotics. Including a special appearance from Blue at Disney!
And here way go!
Wait, is Nvidia using AMD Wi-Fi? Anyway, get ready for all things to kick off in under a minute!
That's our own Jason England at the keynote! And yes, we very much meant that this place was packed.
Get prepared
Only 15 minutes until Nvidia takes to the stage, and the room is piling up (as you can see below). Now's the time to get prepared and put on the livestream (it's currently treating us to some nice music and graphics on display).
Kicking off soon!
@tomsguide ♬ Hard News - DM Production
We're less than 5 minutes away from the livestream kicking off, and we're in clear view of everything that's coming. In the meantime, check out what else Nvidia has in store, including Nvidia Reflex 2, which cuts latency in half (and then some). We tried it out while playing The Finals, and seeing those single digits was a treat.
Bringing a new APU to laptops?
@tomsguide ♬ original sound - Tom’s Guide
We got a look at Nvidia's AI supercomputer, Project DIGITS (now known as DGX Spark), during CES, boasting the GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip. That's expected to set you back around $3,000, but if Nvidia makes its own chip for laptops, there could be a chip here that's far more affordable. That is, if Nvidia announces something along these lines.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spotted during the pregame!
The pregame is still going strong, but Jensen Huang popped up talking about how long it takes to seat everyone. Apparently, in the ballpark or two hours! And we can confirm considering we arrived their well beforehand just to get a good seat.
Now, Jensen, get prepped for the show — you've got less than an hour!
More on Nvidia robotics

Nvidia clearly has a lot to show off this year, and it's not all to do with RTX 50-series GPUs. During Nvidia GTC 2025, we got a taste of Nvidia Isaac Groot N1, a new model for robotics, and we even got to see this Galbot robot in action serving popcorn not too long ago.
Will Nvidia's robotics be serving more than just popcorn at the keynote? Hoepfully yes, but we'd still like the popcorn, please.
Check out Nvidia's GTC Live Pregame
While we wait for the keynote to kick off, Nvidia has a "Pregame" chat with Acer and Asus going on right now. It's all about AI, robotics and accelerated computing, and may even offer a sneak peek at what's to come. Plus, a little insight from leaders across Taiwan’s tech can go a long way!
Not long now...
We've now got a spot for the Nvidia keynote, and a great view of everything CEO Jensen Huang has to say for Nvidia's year ahead. Also, we're liking the GTC Taipei 2025 swag that comes with the seat.
We've played games on an RTX 5060
So, how does an RTX 5060 perform? Considering it's Nvidia's lower-end GPU with a $299 price tag and 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, it may not seem like much, but we've already put it to the test in 5 games at 1080p.
And games run buttery smooth! In our RTX 5060 impressions, we tried Avowed, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom: The Dark Ages, Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel Rivals. We saw triple-digit numbers in terms of FPS, even maintaining over 200 FPS with DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation 4x. And that was even at Ultra Nightmare settings in Doom: The Dark Ages at 1080p.
Of course, when playing games that support Nvidia's AI trickery, this is to be expected. It even achieved just over Nvidia's claimed 149 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077. For a more affordable GPU, this won't be a bad shout. Anyway, we're sure to hear more claims about Nvidia's latest graphics card at the keynote!
Nvidia's latest GPU is coming
We've seen the full suite of Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs, including everything from RTX 5090 and RTX 5060 Ti GPUs to RTX 5090 gaming laptops playing Doom: The Dark Ages. But there's still another GPU up Team Green's sleeve: The RTX 5060.
The entry-level GPU is already announced to be released sometime this May, and that sets it up quite nicely for Computex 2025. It will be priced from $299 and come with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, but DLSS 4 is expected to take on a lot of the legwork to boost those frame rates.
We're sure more will be revelaed once Jensen Huang takes the stage. We'll be keeping an eye on the latest!
Gearing up for Nvidia...
We're here bright and early for Nvidia's keynote at Computex 2025, and from the looks of things, among the first!
As a reminder, CEO Jensen Huang will be taking center stage on May 19 at 11 a.m. in Taiwan time (May 18 at 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT). There's still a while to wait, but we'll keep you posted on all the latest happenings.
Will Qualcomm respond with Snapdragon X2?
It isn't just Nvidia's big keynote that's happening today, as we're eagerly waiting for what Qualcomm has to say about its state of CPUs. And if we had to guess, a Snapdragon X2 chip would be a a great rival against a possible Nvidia laptop chip.
Not much is known about a next-gen Snapdragon CPU (a leaked shipping manifest states it could happen), but if it surfaces, it's likely to offer greater processing power driven by AI, even further compatibility with AI-driven apps, better battery efficiency and, possibly, better gaming performance.
That's just us being skeptical, but if it's in any way better than the first swoop of Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chips for Copilot+ PCs, Qualcomm will be bringing out a CPU to keep on your radar — and Nvidia will already have some competition if it releases its own CPU.
Will Nvidia launch a CPU?
While we're already expecting the launch of Nvidia's latest RTX 5060 GPU during the big keynote at Computex 2025, a big question is whether Team Green will have a hidden surprise up its sleeve. Namely, Nvidia's own laptop CPU.
Rumors of the Windows on Arm chip popped up recently, stating that it could come with a modified version of the GB10 Superchip in Nvidia's announced Project DIGITS AI supercomputer (now known as DGX Spark) for desktops.
In partnership with MediaTek, this chip could feature 8 or 12 CPU cores (instead of 20 in the GB10), along with possibly a quarter of the 128GB of RAM, so 32GB or even 16GB. There have been benchmark leaks, too, with speeds at 3.9 GHz, single-core performance reaching 2,960 and multicore at 10,682.
Either way, if Nvidia does deliver its own CPU for laptops, it could be a game-changer. Stay tuned until we find out!
Welcome to Computex 2025 - here's the latest!
It's Day minus-one of Computex 2025 and we're live from Taipei ahead of the Nvidia GTC keynote kicking off this morning at 11am. But before all of that, we're already seeing plenty of news come out.
- We've made out predictions about what to expect at Computex 2025
- MSI has announced pretty much everything it's bringing to the show
- Acer has done the same too
- And I've already gone hands-on with Nvidia's new cheap RTX 5060 GPU
You can expect much more news to come out today, alongside plenty of hands-on time with the latest announcements (and of course the Qualcomm keynote too). So keep it locked!
