Taitra Cancels MediaTek Rick Tsai's Computex Keynote Unexpectedly Ahead of the Event; NVIDIA Likely to Unveil the N1/N1X SoC for Low-Power Gaming Laptops
We have all been waiting for NVIDIA to reveal its N1/N1X SoC that will power the next generation of low-power gaming laptops, positioning itself as a strong competitor against AMD and Intel in the mainstream segment. We are interested to know how the NVIDIA-MediaTek collaboration will shape up the laptop market since the N1X SoC is rumored to feature a powerful integrated graphics that can match the GeForce RTX 5070 prowess.
While we have been eagerly waiting for the Computex 2026 keynotes from both NVIDIA and MediaTek, it appears that the focus will be entirely on Jensen Huang's presentation ahead of the Computex event. As per Videocardz, Computex 2026 organizer, TAITRA, has cancelled the keynote of MediaTek's CEO, Dr. Rick Tsai. TAITRA has issued a notice that brought this cancellation into the light, but no detailed explanation has been given.

Many of our attendees have been eagerly looking forward to the keynote address by Dr. Rick Tsai, Vice Chairman and CEO of MediaTek. However, due to scheduling adjustments, we regret to announce that the MediaTek Keynoteoriginally scheduled for June 3, has been cancelled.
We sincerely apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this change may cause to your plans.

As per some reports, MediaTek's withdrawal from the keynote is unusual since we are quite close to the event, which has left analysts speculating that the company might be repositioning its strategy with partners. Now, the full focus will shift towards NVIDIA's scheduled June 1 presentation, which is likely going to include details on the N1 laptop SoC. The chip is believed to be aimed at next-generation AI-accelerated Windows notebooks, putting NVIDIA right in front of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X series as well as AMD and Intel SoCs.
We might see the N1 and N1X SoCs entering the market by the end of the year, but we will have to wait for the official confirmation. One of the strongest indications of early arrival is the listings by popular vendors like Lenovo, which have confirmed the existence of early laptop samples with the NVIDIA N1 and N1X SoCs.
