AMD’s Lisa Su to speak at Computex

The CEO is to give a speech on the future of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence at the trade show’s opening on June 3, TAITRA said

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 enduser 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.
