Nvidia's N1X Arm Chip, AMD's Global GRE, and Every Major Reveal at Computex 2026

What you should know before buying: Despite the imminent reveal, supply chain sources indicate that full retail availability is unlikely until late 2026 or even early 2027, with the first laptops possibly appearing in October in limited quantities . Nvidia has not yet published official specifications, pricing, or a confirmed launch timeline, so treat every spec as provisional until the keynote .

Acer's Nitro Blaze Link: A PlayStation Portal for PC Gamers

Acer has already taken the wraps off several products ahead of Computex, the most interesting being a new kind of gaming handheld.

The Nitro Blaze Link (GN722) is a streaming-only device. It has no powerful local processor—just a lightweight 464-gram body with a 7-inch 1920×1200 touchscreen and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. Think of it as a PlayStation Portal, but for your Windows gaming PC . It's designed to stream games from a more powerful local machine, avoiding the cost and weight of high-end internal hardware .

Acer also confirmed two new gaming laptops: the flagship Predator Helios 18 AI, an iF Design Award winner, and the Nitro 16 (AN16-A91), which will be the company's first laptop to offer AMD's Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor alongside Nvidia RTX 50-series laptop GPUs .

AMD's RX 9070 GRE: Going Global at Last

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE—short for "Great Radeon Edition"—has been available only in China since its debut. That appears set to change at Computex. Multiple signals point to an imminent global launch, though an official announcement is still pending .

English-language retail packaging for Sapphire's PULSE model has surfaced online, and listings for the card have appeared on Newegg, Amazon, and Walmart (the latter inside prebuilt desktop PCs) . Reports from ComputerBase, WinFuture, and Overclocking.com all anticipate a launch around the Computex timeframe .

The card uses a cut-down Navi 48 XL die with 3,072 stream processors across 48 compute units and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus . Pricing has not been disclosed, though its China retail price provides a reference point of approximately 4,199 RMB (roughly USD $575) . Until AMD makes it official, this remains a highly likely but unconfirmed launch.

Intel's Arc G3 Handheld Push

Intel is expected to reveal dedicated graphics hardware for handheld gaming consoles, directly challenging AMD's Ryzen Z2 series. The chips, reportedly named Arc G3 and Arc G3 Extreme, are listed as a key reveal target in multiple Computex previews . No official confirmation or detailed specifications have been published by Intel, so treat the launch as probable rather than guaranteed.

The Bigger Picture

Beyond these four major vendors, several other announcements are expected to fill in the rest of the show. Intel is also set to preview its next-generation Nova Lake desktop processors with up to 48 cores on the new 18A process . AMD is expected to tease the Zen 6 platform and showcase new Ryzen AI Max 400 laptops with unified memory . Qualcomm is also expected to expand its Snapdragon X2 lineup at the show , and Marvell CEO Matt Murphy is delivering a keynote on June 2 that has been flagged for special guest appearances .
