Computex 2026 Recap: NVIDIA RTX Spark, Vera Rubin and Intel’s Keynote

Published:

Computex 2026 ran in Taipei from June 2 to 5, with the first keynotes on June 1 and 2. This recap covers what the companies themselves published about the show. It is a written summary, not a live blog.

NVIDIA: RTX Spark and Vera Rubin

NVIDIA opened the show with a keynote that doubled as GTC Taipei. The Next Web reports that Jensen Huang said the Vera Rubin platform, which pairs the Vera CPU with the Rubin GPU, has entered full production, and that Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX and Oracle are among the first to receive Vera.

The consumer headline was RTX Spark, a platform for Windows laptops and compact desktops. According to NVIDIA’s own announcement page, it combines a Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and a 20-core Grace CPU over NVLink-C2C, with up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 1 petaflop of AI compute (NVIDIA’s figure).

  • Laptops are described as 14 to 16 inches, as thin as 14 mm and as light as 3 lb, with tandem OLED G-SYNC displays.
  • Systems are due “this fall” from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI, with Acer and GIGABYTE models later.
  • A DGX Station for Windows was also announced for developers.
  • No prices were given in the sources checked.

Other GeForce items listed by NVIDIA: DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, due in August for all GeForce RTX GPUs; a Blender 5.3 denoiser option this fall; and a beta NVIDIA app update with 4K 240 FPS ShadowPlay recording on RTX 50 and 40 Series cards.

Intel: CPU-for-AI message

Intel’s preview post said CEO Lip-Bu Tan would speak on June 2 (1:30 to 2:30 pm Taiwan time) and that the company would “reinforce the resurgence of the CPU as a critical engine for AI”. It also ran a Robotics and Edge AI Pavilion from June 2 to 5. The preview named no products, and this article does not repeat unverified chip claims from other outlets.

AMD

We could not confirm AMD’s Computex announcements from a primary source, so this recap makes no claims about them.

What it means for buyers

The most concrete consumer news is RTX Spark, and it is not on sale yet. Treat battery life, performance and pricing as unknown until independent reviews of shipping hardware appear.
