COMPUTEX 2026 (Taipei International Computer Show) will take place from June 2 to June 5 under the theme “AI Together.” This year’s three main technology tracks are: the NVIDIA RTX Spark supply chain, liquid-cooling thermal management CDU (coolant distribution unit), and physical AI and embodied intelligence—this is also COMPUTEX’s first time setting up a new “AI Robot Zone” in Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center.
RTX Spark supply chain: NVIDIA’s first laptop chip
At GTC 2026, NVIDIA unveiled its first laptop chip, RTX Spark, built on TSMC’s 3-nanometer process. It integrates an NVIDIA Blackwell-architecture GPU with an Arm-based “N1X” central processing unit customized by MediaTek (2454), designed for AI agent workloads. RTX Spark has entered production and will be used in AI PCs from brands including Microsoft, Dell, HP, ASUS (2357), Lenovo, and MSI (2377).
Taiwan’s four major brands—ASUS (2357), Acer (2353), MSI (2377), and Gigabyte (2376)—are all participating as RTX Spark AI PC vendors for this show.
Liquid cooling thermal management: the 2MW CDU system and high-performance demonstrations
The NVIDIA Rubin platform and the GB300 server architecture allow the power consumption of a single GPU chip to exceed 1,200W. Traditional air cooling (Air Cooling) cannot meet requirements due to limitations in air heat-transfer efficiency, so liquid-cooling systems have become standard equipment in data centers. Key exhibitors include:
Hon Hai (3324), as an NVIDIA MGX ecosystem partner, is showcasing a new-generation In-Row CDU solution supporting up to 2MW of cooling capacity. It features a redundant architecture and intelligent group control design, and demonstrates automatic refilling equipment, water-quality monitoring technology, and its self-developed quick-connect fittings and water pump products.
Lifeng (8996) is showcasing its brazed plate heat exchanger (BPHE) products and CDU and Sidecar system-level solutions, as well as key components for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) from U.S. fuel cell company Bloom Energy, which it manufactures. Qixie (3017) is demonstrating its two-phase flow liquid-cooling technology, with thermal stability meeting military and aerospace-grade standards.
The core metric for liquid-cooling technology is PUE (power usage effectiveness). After adopting liquid-cooling systems, a data center’s PUE can be reduced from the traditional 1.5-1.7 range to below 1.2.
Physical AI and embodied intelligence: the AI Robot Zone makes its debut
For the first time, COMPUTEX 2026 has newly set up the “AI Robot Zone” in the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1, showcasing integrated solutions that combine edge lightweight large language models (LLMs) with precision mechanical transmission components. Kinpo (2049), ZD Tech (1590), and Amlogic (2464) are displaying precision transmission components such as harmonic reducers and planetary roller screw units, as well as 3D AI vision-guided systems. Winson Electric (3022) is introducing its Resilient Edge AI platform (including GAIA-5040A edge servers and TANK-XM813), integrating Mitsubishi Electric motion control and a ROS2-based safety architecture. Solmon (2359) is showcasing industrial collaborative solutions for AI 3D vision and machine learning algorithms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the theme of COMPUTEX 2026, and on which days does it run?
COMPUTEX 2026 will be held in Taipei from June 2 to June 5, 2026 under the theme “AI Together,” with participating companies whose total market value exceeds $10 trillion.
What are the technical specifications of RTX Spark and MediaTek N1X?
RTX Spark uses TSMC’s 3-nanometer process and integrates an NVIDIA Blackwell-architecture GPU with MediaTek’s customized Arm-based “N1X” central processing unit. NVIDIA states that its AI computing capability reaches 1 petaFLOP and it can run a 120B large language model locally.
What is the key performance metric of the liquid-cooling CDU solution?
Hon Hai’s newly exhibited next-generation In-Row CDU supports up to 2MW of cooling capacity. The core metric of the liquid-cooling system is PUE (power usage effectiveness); with liquid cooling, PUE can be reduced from the traditional 1.5-1.7 range to below 1.2.
