Qualcomm is much more of a household name in consumer computing in 2026, so it's no wonder Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon is helping kick off Computex 2026. With its Snapdragon X2 range of high-powered SoCs on the horizon, he'll have lots of eyeballs on him when he gives his keynote address on June 1.
Amon's keynote is scheduled for June 1 at 2 p.m. Taipei time (2 a.m. EDT on June 1 / 11 p.m. PDT on May 31), with a discussion of how Qualcomm chips will shape the future of AI PCs. You can watch it in the video above.
As with most CEOs at Computex this year, Amon will talk up AI agents and how Qualcomm hardware is best placed to accelerate that locally for those excited to explore it. That means showcasing its industrial-first, Dragonwing chip designs, which Qualcomm announced at Mobile World Congress earlier this year.
On the consumer front, though, "AI PC" hardware like Snapdragon X2 is much more exciting. Qualcomm partners began launching the first X2 Elite laptops just last month, including the X2 Elite Extreme model, but the range is far from fleshed out, so we'll likely see some discussion of new models and new integrations of these highly capable and efficient chips. That could include gaming laptops and gaming handheld devices.
Qualcomm won't be the only major tech player discussing high-powered Windows on Arm devices, though. Nvidia's Jensen Huang is expected to debut Nvidia's N1 platform. With its N1X chip rumored to offer integrated gaming performance equivalent to that of a dedicated RTX 4070 graphics card, we could be nearing a new era of capable gaming with onboard graphics.
