Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) chairperson and chief executive officer Lisa Su (蘇姿丰) is to deliver the opening keynote speech at Computex Taipei this year, the event’s organizer said in a statement yesterday.
Su is to give a speech on the future of high-performance computing (HPC) in the artificial intelligence (AI) era to open Computex, one of the world’s largest computer and technology trade events, at 9:30am on June 3, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) said.
Su is to explore how AMD and the company’s strategic technology partners are pushing the limits of AI and HPC, from data centers to end-user devices, at a time when AI and its capabilities remain the focus of the tech world, TAITRA said.

Computex, which is also a leading artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) and start-up show, is to welcome other keynote speakers such as Qualcomm Inc president and CEO Cristiano Amon, Intel Corp CEO Pat Gelsinger and Super Micro Computer Inc CEO Charles Liang (梁見後), it said.
Keynote speeches by other tech professionals include MediaTek Inc (聯發科) vice chairman and CEO Rick Tsai (蔡力行), Delta Electronics Inc (台達電) research center general director Chiueh Tzi-cker (闕志克) and NXP Semiconductors NV executive vice president and chief technology officer Lars Reger, it said.
Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) will also attend the show, with the company expected to unveil details of its cooperation with Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) on AI.
At Nvidia’s GPU technology conference (GTC) last week in San Jose, California, Hon Hai chairman Young Liu (劉揚偉) told reporters that he had discussed cooperation on AI with Huang during a meeting at Hon Hai’s pavilion on Wednesday, adding that Huang would personally make the announcement himself during Computex.
Themed “Connecting AI,” this year’s show is to be held from June 4 to 7 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center’s Halls 1 and 2.
The event is to feature 1,500 exhibitors with 4,500 booths, showcasing products organized into six major categories: AI computing, advanced connectivity, future mobility, immersive reality, sustainability and innovations.
Computex also offers a diverse range of activities for attendees, including the Computex Forum on June 5, with international experts discussing hardware technology and software applications in generative AI, offering forward-thinking and diverse perspectives for the global industry, TAITRA said.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) would not produce its most advanced technologies in the US next year, Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo (郭智輝) said yesterday. Kuo made the comment during an appearance at the legislature, hours after the chipmaker announced that it would invest an additional US$100 billion to expand its manufacturing operations in the US. Asked by Taiwan People’s Party Legislator-at-large Chang Chi-kai (張啟楷) if TSMC would allow its most advanced technologies, the yet-to-be-released 2-nanometer and 1.6-nanometer processes, to go to the US in the near term, Kuo denied it. TSMC recently opened its first US factory, which produces 4-nanometer
PROTECTION: The investigation, which takes aim at exporters such as Canada, Germany and Brazil, came days after Trump unveiled tariff hikes on steel and aluminum products US President Donald Trump on Saturday ordered a probe into potential tariffs on lumber imports — a move threatening to stoke trade tensions — while also pushing for a domestic supply boost. Trump signed an executive order instructing US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to begin an investigation “to determine the effects on the national security of imports of timber, lumber and their derivative products.” The study might result in new tariffs being imposed, which would pile on top of existing levies. The investigation takes aim at exporters like Canada, Germany and Brazil, with White House officials earlier accusing these economies of
Teleperformance SE, the largest call-center operator in the world, is rolling out an artificial intelligence (AI) system that softens English-speaking Indian workers’ accents in real time in a move the company claims would make them more understandable. The technology, called accent translation, coupled with background noise cancelation, is being deployed in call centers in India, where workers provide customer support to some of Teleperformance’s international clients. The company provides outsourced customer support and content moderation to global companies including Apple Inc, ByteDance Ltd’s (字節跳動) TikTok and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. “When you have an Indian agent on the line, sometimes it’s hard
PROBE CONTINUES: Those accused falsely represented that the chips would not be transferred to a person other than the authorized end users, court papers said Singapore charged three men with fraud in a case local media have linked to the movement of Nvidia’s advanced chips from the city-state to Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) firm DeepSeek (深度求索). The US is investigating if DeepSeek, the Chinese company whose AI model’s performance rocked the tech world in January, has been using US chips that are not allowed to be shipped to China, Reuters reported earlier. The Singapore case is part of a broader police investigation of 22 individuals and companies suspected of false representation, amid concerns that organized AI chip smuggling to China has been tracked out of nations such
