Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI computing demand has surged, driven by advanced AI models requiring exponential computational resources. The demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell GPU is exceptionally high, marking the start of a new industrial revolution. Nvidia recently invested $100 billion in OpenAI’s data center expansion. Huang notes China’s rapid AI infrastructure deployment outpacing the U.S. He advocates for AI to invest in off-grid power generation, like natural gas or nuclear, to avoid impacting consumer electricity prices, emphasizing the need for faster energy solutions.

MediaTek introduced hybrid AI computing solutions at Computex 2025, including the 5G Generative AI Gateway for edge-cloud integration, NVIDIA collaborations (Genio IoT platform and NVIDIA GB10 Superchip for desktop-scale 200B model execution), and context-aware automotive systems (Dimensity Auto with C-X1 chip). Innovations also featured 6G-compatible connectivity in wearables, Ku-band satellite modems, and SMR100 mini-LED displays with 276% higher brightness than OLED. These advancements target unified, high-performance AI accessibility across decentralized infrastructures, enterprise, and consumer sectors.

Acer launches six Aspire AI laptops optimized for Windows 11 Copilot+, featuring Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD processors with AI-driven tools like AcerSense, LiveArt 2.0, and PurifiedVoice 2.0. Designed for hybrid workers, they offer portability (sub-16mm aluminum chassis), up to 28-hour battery life on Snapdragon models, EPEAT Gold certification, and 100% recyclable packaging. Prices start at €899 (Snapdragon) to €1,099 (Intel), targeting consumers and enterprises while facing challenges in software compatibility and competition, including NVIDIA’s advancements. Availability varies by region, with EMEA first in June 2025 and Australia in Q3.
