Jensen Huang made his way to Taipei this week carrying two very different messages for investors. The first was a staggering supply-chain pledge: Nvidia’s annual spending in Taiwan has already ballooned from roughly $10–15 billion four years ago to $100 billion today, with plans to push that number to $150 billion. The second was a direct assault on the PC market, where the company will soon field its own processor — the ARM-based N1X — against Intel, AMD and Qualcomm.
The N1X, developed in collaboration with MediaTek and manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm process, is Nvidia’s first system-on-a-chip for Windows laptops. Leaked specifications point to a 20-core design paired with integrated Blackwell graphics and 6,144 CUDA cores — performance that analysts say rivals a mobile RTX 5070 Ti. Dell, Lenovo, ASUS and MSI are already preparing devices for a launch later this year. The chip is scheduled for a formal unveiling at the Computex conference, which kicks off in Taipei on June 2.
Nvidia’s stock closed Friday at €181.40, roughly 10% below its 52-week high but still up nearly 49% year to date. The relative strength index of 36.4 suggests the recent pullback has been technically overdone. Of the 61 analysts covering the stock, the consensus is a “Strong Buy” with an average price target of $296.81 — implying about 44% upside from current levels. For the fiscal year 2026, Nvidia posted revenue of just under $216 billion with a 71% gross margin, and second‑quarter guidance calls for roughly $91 billion in sales.
Beyond the laptop push, Huang used his Taipei visit to reinforce the company’s commitment to the island’s semiconductor ecosystem. The planned “Constellation Campus” in the Beitou‑Shilin district is set to break ground in mid‑2026 and begin operations by 2030. He downplayed Huawei’s recent “Tau Scaling Law” advances, noting that TSMC has used comparable chip‑stacking technologies for more than a decade. The TAIEX index closed Friday at a record 44,732 points, reflecting what analysts call an “ecosystem valuation premium” for Taiwan’s full‑stack AI supply chain.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Nvidia?
The PC offensive doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Nvidia has also invested at least $6.5 billion since March in photonics‑technology companies, aiming to relieve AI infrastructure bottlenecks with faster data transmission as well as better chips. And its partner Infineon has joined the MGX ecosystem — Nvidia’s modular reference architecture for AI data centers — to supply power‑management silicon for the new 800‑volt DC architecture. Infineon shares hit a 52‑week high of €81.81 on Friday, more than doubling year to date.
Taiwan’s broader semiconductor landscape is equally charged. Memory makers Micron and SK Hynix have both crossed the trillion‑dollar market‑cap mark. Micron reported a record $23.86 billion in quarterly revenue and said all of its AI‑memory chips for 2026 are already sold out. SK Hynix, which commands 57% of the high‑bandwidth memory market, has secured about 70% of HBM orders for Nvidia’s upcoming Vera‑Rubin platform. Some voices, however, warn that the stocks are pricing in perfection — Baird recently called it a “risky game.”
For Nvidia itself, the near‑term catalysts are clustered around Computex (June 2–5) and Microsoft’s Build conference (June 2–3). Huang is expected to deliver official benchmark numbers for the N1X on June 1 at a keynote event, giving the market its first real test of whether the performance claims hold up. If they do, the PC‑chip narrative could expand the investment story well beyond the data‑center infrastructure theme that has driven the stock for the past two years.
