While the conversation two years ago focused heavily on AI PCs, this year’s event shifted decisively toward agentic AI. As the CEO and founder of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, proclaimed in his opening keynote on Monday this week at the Taipei Music Center (yes, he always fills a whole stadium wherever he goes, especially in Taiwan), “Agentic AI and useful AI have arrived.”\n\n[View All](https://www.eetimes.com/category/sponsored-content/)\n\nWhen Huang has a message, he will deliver that message in a hundred ways to emphasize his viewpoint: We are entering a new era of agentic PCs, where we interact with our PCs in a completely different way. Nvidia is framing this as an entirely new class of PCs, co-developed with Microsoft and powered by the new Arm-based Nvidia RTX Spark CPU unveiled at the show.\n\nBut is it that easy? Listen to what Jim McGregor says in the video.\n\nBeyond [agentic computing](https://www.embedded.com/a-look-at-agentic-ai-in-the-eda-engineering-workflow/), this year’s event also underscored the industry-wide momentum behind physical AI, alongside a subtle but clear consensus among visiting executives: Taiwan remains the definitive epicenter of the global electronics value chain.\n\n##### See also:\n\n[Taiwan Minister Emphasizes Collaboration and Future Focus on Photonics, WBG, and Quantum](https://www.eetimes.com/taiwan-minister-emphasizes-collaboration-and-future-focus-on-photonics-wbg-and-quantum/)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/computex-2026-are-we-heading-for-the-agentic-pc-era-yet-ee-times", "canonical_source": "https://www.eetimes.com/computex-2026-are-we-heading-for-the-agentic-pc-era-yet/", "published_at": "2026-06-06 20:24:29+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-06 20:46:49.240011+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-chips", "ai-products", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["EE Times", "Jim McGregor", "Tirias Research", "Nvidia", "Jensen Huang", "Microsoft", "Arm", "RTX Spark CPU"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/computex-2026-are-we-heading-for-the-agentic-pc-era-yet-ee-times", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/computex-2026-are-we-heading-for-the-agentic-pc-era-yet-ee-times.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/computex-2026-are-we-heading-for-the-agentic-pc-era-yet-ee-times.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/computex-2026-are-we-heading-for-the-agentic-pc-era-yet-ee-times.jsonld"}}
