Computex 2025: NVIDIA Supercharges AI With World's Largest Quantum Supercomputer, AI Infrastructure & More
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang kicked off Computex 2025 in Taipei with a bold vision for an AI-driven future. He emphasized that AI is now fundamental infrastructure, likening it to electricity and the internet, and described how AI data centers are evolving into 'AI factories' that generate valuable tokens.
'They're not data centers of the past,' Huang explained. 'These AI data centers, if you will, are improperly described. They are, in fact, AI factories. You apply energy to it, and it produces something incredibly valuable, and these things are called tokens.'
Huang showcased NVIDIA's CUDA-X platform, highlighting its role in advancing AI, 6G, and quantum supercomputing. He outlined the growing power of AI, leading to 'agentic AI,' which can think and act, and 'physical AI,' which understands the world—culminating in general robotics.
To meet surging demand, Huang announced innovations such as NVIDIA Blackwell-powered systems, NVLink Fusion to optimise AI data centers, and collaborations with major global tech players. He also detailed NVIDIA's partnership with Taiwan, including an AI supercomputer project with Foxconn and the Taiwan government.
New product announcements included DGX Spark, a personal AI supercomputer; DGX Station, capable of running trillion-parameter models; NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers for enterprise AI; and NVIDIA AI Data Platform for intelligent storage. He also introduced tools for humanoid robotics, including Isaac GR00T-Dreams and the GR00T N1.5 foundation model. The NVIDIA DGX Spark and DGX Station.
Huang shares that companies worldwide are investing $5 trillion in new factories, and optimizing their design is crucial for maximising efficiency. Leading Taiwanese manufacturers, including TSMC, Foxconn, and others, are leveraging NVIDIA Omniverse to create digital twins, driving the next phase of industrial physical AI in semiconductor and electronics production. Quantum Research Supercomputer.
He also unveiled the opening of the Global Research and Development Center for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT), home to ABCI-Q, the world's largest quantum research supercomputer. This breakthrough system, powered by 2,020 NVIDIA H100 GPUs and Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, aims to accelerate quantum-GPU computing to tackle complex challenges in industries like healthcare, energy, and finance. This supercomputer will enable researchers in Japan to explore core challenges in quantum computing and drive progress toward real-world use cases.
Huang ended the keynote by unveiling NVIDIA Constellation, a new Taiwan office to be built in Beitou-Shiulin, and emphasising Taiwan's crucial role in AI development. He described the industry's trajectory as a 'once in a lifetime opportunity' to build AI factories, AI agents, and robotics within a unified architecture.

4 Ways The Predator Helios Neo 16 AI Levels Up The Laptop Gaming Experience
When it comes to intensive bouts of gaming or competitive battles in esports tournaments, having a powerful rig outfitted with the latest hardware is crucial for running today's increasingly demanding AAA titles smoothly, ensuring the highest levels of immersion but also maintaining the competitive edge against other players. To provide an uncompromised enthusiast gaming experience in a compact but powerful package, Predator's latest portable gaming beast, the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI, packs in everything an aspiring gamer needs as an effective desktop substitute. Here are four ways the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI serves as a game-changer for heavyweight gaming on the go. It all begins under the hood with powerful GPU and CPU options – the backbone of any gaming experience. As a portable device, a gaming laptop needs a beefy GPU to handle all the latest graphically intensive titles, and the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI packs it all in. Equipped with NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU powered by the newest Blackwell architecture for advanced generative AI and accelerated computing, the laptop provides an elevated AI-powered gaming experience with 992 AI TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second). Harnessing the power of its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series GPU, gamers can also enjoy a suite of advanced NVIDIA features, including: DLSS 4 : A super sampling technology that constructs high-quality images from a lower-resolution base for a boost in both performance and visual quality, and with its new transformer-based AI model, significantly improves image quality over DLSS 3, especially in motion, with better stability and detail retention. : A super sampling technology that constructs high-quality images from a lower-resolution base for a boost in both performance and visual quality, and with its new transformer-based AI model, significantly improves image quality over DLSS 3, especially in motion, with better stability and detail retention. DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation : Uses AI to generate up to three additional frames per rendered frame, providing a massive boost to FPS by up to eight times compared to traditional brute-force rendering, and taking Portal with RTX as an example, GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPUs multiply frame rates on its Ultra preset with Ray Tracing on by more than six times, from 35fps to 212fps.

Reflex 2: Optimises game rendering across the GPU and CPU to reduce PC latency and improve responsiveness. To complement its potent GPU, the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI is outfitted with an equally powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 275HX, featuring impressive mobile performance with up to 24 cores (8 P-cores and 16 E-cores), 24 threads and a max clock speed of 5.4 GHz. As a PC offering artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities through a neural processing unit (NPU), the CPU takes advantage of its performance hybrid architecture to combine its P-cores and E-cores, further enhancing multitasking capabilities. When gaming, and especially for more graphically intense titles, a system can run hot, which is why the laptop is equipped with advanced cooling technologies, led by a 5th Gen AeroBlade 3D fan setup, consisting of 89 ultra-thin 0.08mm blades and a wind guiding structure for increased airflow performance, effectively redirecting air to cool down crucial components when under intense usage scenarios. This, combined with other thermal solutions like advanced liquid metal thermal grease on the CPU, which provides higher thermal conductivity than the market competition, vector heat pipes and strategically placed intake and exhaust ports, ensures that the system stays cool under pressure, improving both performance and longevity while maintaining user comfort. A gaming device needs more than impressive hardware to stand out from the crowd, and the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI also comes with innovative software to complement its graphical prowess. For streamers, esports pros or those who simply want the best out of their multiplayer gaming sessions, the laptop is outfitted with the Acer Purified Voice 2.0, which harnesses the power of AI and a three-microphone setup to identify and eliminate unwanted background noise for both speakers and listeners, providing crystal-clear voice quality even during the most chaotic bouts of multiplayer gaming. Acer's innovations don't just end at improving performance, but extend to utility too, with the PredatorSense 5.0 app allowing users to monitor and personalise their laptop experience, managing RGB lighting, fan speeds and more in a single convenient location, enabling them to swap system presets on the fly to suit any usage scenario for maximum flexibility. With its portable size measuring 356.78 x 275.5 x 26.75 mm, the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI doesn't skimp on its hardware features, boasting a 16-inch WQXGA resolution (2560 x 1600) IPS display with a smooth 240Hz refresh rate, enabling the lightning-fast response times lauded by esports enthusiasts and giving players an edge over the competition. For the extra leg up in multiplayer competitive gaming, the laptop also comes equipped with Killer Wi-Fi 6 1675i and Killer Ethernet E2600, making use of the Intel Killer DoubleShot Pro software to automatically switch high-priority traffic to the fastest connection type while leaving standard traffic for the slow connection, ensuring the most reliable link in latency-sensitive situations like online gaming matches. As the final cherry on top, gaming enthusiasts can get right into the game without breaking the bank. The Predator Helios Neo 16 AI is available now from S$2,699 (with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060). It is available at Best Denki, Challenger, CH2, Courts, Gain City, Harvey Norman, Amazon, Lazada, Shopee and the Acer e-store.
