Jensanity! The new phrase to describe the rock star status of Nvidia CEO and the company's rise. Jensen was spotted at the night market in Taiwan, the day he gave a keynote at Taiwan's major trade show COMPUTEX.

Hard to be incognito now!

Surrounded while signing autographs at exhibitor booths, he sparked a media frenzy when a fan asked him to sign her tight-fitting top, which he did.

A B-2-B version of CES in Taipei

Highly energetic crowds!

At a press conference, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang got around a geopolitical question about future locations by noting that the AI foundry is in Taiwan now and for the future because of the tech strength of chip maker TSMC.

Jensen also was asked how seriously does he consider Chinese AI chip makers such as Huawei? Very seriously was his answer. No follow-up by media left some questions.

With top execs from Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, Google, Amazon, Synopsis, ARM, Seagate, Ampere, SuperMicro and Micron all on stage at this major trade show in Taipei and promoting their AI wares, it's obvious that AI is accelerating (but over-hyped?)

One thing is clear: this is Taiwan's time to play a central role in global tech. Acer, ASUS, MediaTek were there too, making for a very chummy rapport between east and west.

Note Nvidia's Jensen with Rick Tai of MediaTek on stage.

Every device and company will be Ai driven, with chips enabling AI everywhere. 80% of PCs will have embedded AI by 2028. Taiwan and Intel working together for 39 years, and next year will bring a big 40th celebration. Quoting Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger at COMPUTEX, where he was welcomed to the stage with a five-drum roll.
