Nvidia LIVE at Computex 2026 — 'a new era of pc,' as rumored N1X chip set to be announced

We've got our seats

Jason is now inside the Taipei Music Center and just like the rest of us, he's eagerly awaiting to hear what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is about to reveal. I spoke with him just now and he had this to say:

"There's a different energy this year. Everyone came to Nvidia's keynote last year expecting a run of the mill GTC, and that's exactly what we got. But something's changed, The vibe has shifted — almost as if we're about to see the biggest computing announcement of the past few years."

So stay tuned as we have less than an hour to go until Jensen takes the stage.

Don't forget the displays

New chips from Nvidia, Intel and Qualcomm are dominating the Computex 2026 news so far but there are plenty of exciting new accessories and peripherals be unveiled too. For instance, both Dell and Alienware are showing off plenty of devices and last week, our own Tony Polanco went hands-on with Alienware AW3426DW ultrawide gaming monitor.

Tony loved the original but this upgraded 34-inch ultrawide now sports an even faster 280 Hz refresh rate. Check out his full Alienware AW3426DW hands-on review and stay tuned as we'll be meeting with Dell and Alienware on the show floor later this week to get a closer look at the rest of their new monitors and laptops.

And we're in

After braving the humidity and the growing crowd, Jason now has his press pass for Nvidia's Computex 2026 keynote. We'll have more updates as he finds his way to his seat and settles in but for now, you can take a look at the rest of our Computex coverage here. On that page, you'll find all the latest news on this year's show as well as what we saw last year and the year before.

Also, don't forget to check out our YouTube page, as along with Jason England and Anthony Spadafora, Paul Antill from our video team is here documenting everything and he'll have plenty of new uploads for you to enjoy this week as well.

Intel is shaking things up with Arc G3

Nvidia may be all the focus right now with Jensen's keynote only an hour and a half away but don't rule out Intel just yet. Yesterday, we got a hands-on look at Intel's new Arc G3 chip and the new batch of PC gaming handhelds it's powering. And let me tell you first hand, we were impressed.

From the new Acer Predator Atlas 8 to the OneXPlayer 3 and our favorite so far, the MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus, Intel is back in a big way with the G3. During a meeting with the company yesterday, they explained that instead of being a CPU with some GPU capabilities, this new System on a Chip (SoC) is a GPU first. We got to see a number of games from the new Lego Batman to Forza Horizon 6 running on these handhelds and gameplay was buttery smooth. Check out Jason's hands-on review of the MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus for more.

Almost there

Our own Jason England will be covering all the latest news from inside Nvidia's GTC keynote this year. After stopping to take a few pics with a giant Nvidia statue out front, he's in line and waiting to head in. While yesterday was sunny and fairly nice here in Taipei, today it's overcast and quite muggy.

Hopefully, the weather improves during the rest of the week but by then, we'll be on the show floor checking out the latest PC handhelds, laptops and more.

Heading to Nvidia's keynote

The Tom's Guide team is on the ground here in Taipei, Taiwan and we just arrived at the Taipei Music Center where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to give his keynote address in two hours. From AI to GPUs and the long-rumored Nvidia N1X, there's going to be quite a lot of news coming out of this event.

Follow along for all the latest as we'll be inside the venue sharing pics, videos and of course, our thoughts on all the big announcements. In fact, we'll be in Taiwan all week covering Computex and there's quite a lot more to come if last year's show is any indication.
