Computex 2025: AI Systems, CPUs, GPUs, Wi-Fi 7, gaming handhelds and more expected
Computex 2025 is set to showcase the next wave of computing innovation, spanning AI-enhanced computers, new processors, graphics cards, wireless technologies and more. Unlike other tech events that often focus on distant future concepts, Computex will showcase products and hardware that are close to release or already entering the market. This focus on practical and immediate technology makes it a key event to watch for those interested in the direction of personal computing and gaming.
Computex 2025 is set to take place from May 20 to May 23 in Taipei, Taiwan. Here's a closer look at what we can expect to see at Asia's biggest tech event.
AI continues to take centre stage in computing. Following last year's showcase of AI-powered PCs, this year's products are likely to highlight more systems with dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) working alongside CPUs and GPUs. MSI plans to introduce the EdgeXpert MS-C931 desktop AI supercomputer. Built on Nvidia's DGX platform, it aims to deliver performance reaching 1,000 trillion operations per second (TOPS), targeting AI developers and researchers. Palit will also present its Pandora AI concept PC, featuring Nvidia's Jetson Orin NX Super chipset and a modular design. This device supports generative AI applications and edge computing, with components designed for easy upgrades and modifications.

The competition among PC gaming handhelds is expected to heat up again. Last year, models like MSI's Claw 8 AI+ and Asus' ROG Ally X drew attention, alongside the Zotac Zone. Rumours suggest Asus may unveil the ROG Ally 2, with options including a standard PC version and an Xbox-branded variant, potentially powered by AMD's Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor. MSI might respond with a new handheld, possibly named Claw 7 A2HM, rumoured to offer both Intel and AMD versions. Even without these new models, attendees will likely see updated versions of existing devices like MSI's Claw 8 AI+ featuring the Polar Tempest branding. Alongside these, new controllers, keyboards, and gaming peripherals are expected to appear.

Chip makers are ready to escalate competition with fresh CPU announcements. Last year, AMD and Intel both introduced major updates, including AMD's Ryzen 9000 series and Intel's Lunar Lake mobile architecture. This year, Nvidia and MediaTek may launch a new ARM-based laptop chip combining Nvidia's Grace CPU and MediaTek's GB10 Blackwell technology. This new chip could appear in both desktop (N1X) and laptop (N1) versions. Qualcomm may also present the Snapdragon X2, an ARM processor rumoured to include up to 18 CPU cores and enhanced AI capabilities designed to run tasks directly on the device. Intel is expected to announce updates about its Panther Lake CPU, which uses the company's advanced 18A manufacturing process to improve power efficiency and performance.

Graphics cards will receive attention with new options for gamers on a budget. Nvidia plans to release the RTX 5060 card shortly before Computex. Although less powerful than the RTX 5060 Ti, this model aims to offer an affordable upgrade for gamers using older hardware. However, it will come with 8GB of VRAM, which may limit performance for certain demanding games. AMD is preparing to debut the Radeon 9060XT in two versions: one with 8GB and another with 16GB of VRAM. Intel's upcoming Arc Pro graphics cards could stand out by offering up to 24GB of VRAM, but it remains unclear whether these will target workstation users or cost-conscious gamers.
Wireless technology will also be a focus. Wi-Fi 7 is expected to appear in more devices, building on its initial presence at CES earlier this year. This new standard supports higher speeds and greater bandwidth by using the 6GHz band. At Computex 2025, expect to see Wi-Fi 7 integrated into laptops, desktops, mini PCs, and handheld devices. Router manufacturers will likely showcase more affordable Wi-Fi 7 options, making the technology more accessible. While Wi-Fi 8 remains a future development, Wi-Fi 7 will play a major role at the show.

Reliance only Indian company among world's most valuable tech giants
Reliance Industries becomes the only Indian firm to break into the top 30 most valuable global tech companies, as a major report highlights AI's rapid rise and India's growing digital footprint Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries has become the only Indian company to feature in a global list of the 30 most valuable publicly traded technology firms, according to a detailed 340-page report titled 'Trends – Artificial Intelligence'. The report explores how AI is rapidly being adopted across the world and the transformative role it's playing across industries. The list ranks global tech companies by market value. Unsurprisingly, American tech giants dominate the top spots- Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Tesla and Broadcom hold the first eight positions. Taiwan's TSMC comes in at number nine, with China's Tencent right behind. Reliance, with a market capitalisation of $216 billion, has been placed 23rd. "Over the past 30 years (1995–2025), just five companies remained on the top 30 most highly valued publicly traded global technology companies Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, IBM and AT&T," the report noted. It also highlighted how Reliance now sits alongside big global names like Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, Alibaba, Salesforce and China Mobile as a new entrant to the elite list. "In 1995, the USA had 53 per cent (16 of 30) of the most valuable tech companies and 70 per cent (21 of 30) in 2025," it added. Back in 1995, Japan accounted for 30 per cent (9 of 30) of the top companies but none of its firms will feature in 2025. Other countries like the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico, and Malaysia had one company each on the list three decades ago but are now absent. "In 2025, new geographic entrants include China with 3, Germany with 2, Taiwan with 1, Netherlands with 1, South Korea with 1 and India with 1," the report said. Taiwan's sole entry, TSMC, is a global powerhouse in chip manufacturing. It produces 80–90 per cent of the world's most advanced semiconductors and 62 per cent of all semiconductors. India also leads globally when it comes to mobile users of ChatGPT. It accounts for 13.5 per cent of the monthly active users of the AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI. This places India ahead of the USA (8.9 per cent), Indonesia (5.7 per cent), and Brazil (5.4 per cent), while Pakistan contributes 3 per cent. When it comes to Chinese AI app DeepSeek, India holds 6.9 per cent of its active global users, trailing behind China (33.9 per cent) and Russia (9.2 per cent). "Artificial intelligence is reshaping the modern landscape at breakneck speed. What began as research has scaled into emerging core infrastructure across industries, powering everything from customer support to software development, scientific discovery, education, and manufacturing," the report stated. AI is moving fast, becoming more integrated into our daily work and touching more fields than ever before. "Catalysing this growth is the global availability of easy-to-use multimodal AI tools (like ChatGPT) on pervasive mobile devices, augmented by a steep decline in inference costs and an explosion in model availability. Both closed and open-source tools are now widely accessible and increasingly capable, enabling solo developers, startups, and enterprises alike to experiment and deploy with minimal friction," it added. Major tech firms are embedding AI more deeply into their products from smart assistants and copilots to intelligent agents that change how users interact with technology. Whether it's through AI built into SaaS platforms or smart features in consumer apps, the way we use digital tools is evolving rapidly. On the infrastructure side, investment is rising sharply. Spending by cloud providers, chipmakers, and hyperscalers has reached new highs as they race to support real-time, high-volume AI tasks. This investment goes beyond chips, it includes new data centres, networks, and energy systems to meet the growing demand. "Whether this level of capital expenditure persists remains to be seen, but as AI moves closer to the edge in vehicles, farms, labs, and homes, the distinction between digital and physical infrastructure continues to blur," the report concluded.

This plan helps avoid insider trading concerns. Huang remains optimistic about Nvidia's future in AI. The company sees rising demand and expects growth in AI inference. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Nvidia's Growth Engine Is Still Roaring Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Is Jensen Huang Sensing Trouble or Just Playing It Smart? FAQs Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang , who is also the founder of the company launched in 1993, recently revealed a shocking plan that has raised investor concerns, as per a who has led the AI chipmaker to its top position and will continue to guide it in the next phase of AI boom, recently shared that he will sell 6 million Nvidia shares, which at the current price will be around $810 million, as per The Motley Nvidia's stock has risen 1,400% in the past five years, which makes it a winner for investors who held on for the long term, as per The Motley Fool. But Huang's plan has made investors worried that this is a sign of trouble ahead and that share performance may dip, according to the READ: Italy's Mount Etna volcano erupts, triggering aviation alert as tourists flee for their lives — 10 key points However, the CEO has played an important role in the firm's success over the long term, and has shown optimism even during the latest earnings call, as he said Nvidia is "off to the races," which is a sign that the chipmaker is in the early stages of its AI growth story, reported The Motley has also been posting several quarters of double- and triple-digit revenue growth, and it has continued in the first quarter of this fiscal year, as per the report. The AI chipmaker also continues to see rising demand for its new Blackwell architecture and expects that the area of AI inference will be a huge growth driver, reported The Motley to The Motley Fool, all this leads to an important question, "why would Huang sell shares?"To understand that, it's essential to know that as of the close of the recent fiscal year, Huang held over 922 million Nvidia shares, which is just over 3.7% of the company, as per Nvidia's fiscal 2025 annual report, reported The Motley Fool. So that means that the six million shares he has planned to sell is actually not a big portion of his entire holding, as per the important fact is that the CEO's sale is not something which was recently decided for any specific reason, rather, it is part of a regular plan that allows Nvidia insiders to periodically sell shares, reported The Motley Fool. The selling is done under a Rule 10b5-1 plan , where the sales are predetermined so that buying or selling activity would not be considered insider trading, according to the report. "The idea is insiders can buy or sell at a particular time, prepared ahead and when they don't have access to material non-public information," wrote The Motley Fool. The agreement was adopted in March and will expire on December 31, 2025, as per the is not the first time that Huang or the other Nvidia executives have sold shares under these plans as it is a process to lock in some profits from time to time because maybe they want to "pay bills or want to reallocate cash into other investments," according to The Motley In fact, he's publicly said Nvidia is "off to the races," signaling strong optimism about the company's AI a legal plan that lets executives sell shares on a set schedule, helping avoid insider trading concerns, as per the report.
