TAIPEI—Last week at the Computex 2024 trade show in Taiwan, PCMag attended a series of demos hosted by Nvidia at an offsite venue. Following the show’s blockbuster keynote speech by CEO Jensen Huang, which was held at the NTU Sports Center on June 2, an army of Nvidia representatives were staged in suites, showing off fine-grained small-group demos of the company’s latest advances in consumer-facing AI.This was a far cry from the big-vision data-center broad strokes posed by Huang in his keynote. These demos were more about Nvidia’s progress in incorporating AI chat, AI-assisted image generation, and AI video and audio processing into games and creative applications. We filmed the lot and have culled the highlights of 90 minutes of demos into the video above. Boiled down to just 12 minutes, it is well worth a watch if you’re curious about the kind of AI features and tweaks coming soon to a PC near you, whether it’s GeForce-equipped or not.10 Ways Nvidia Stuns With AIA summary of the 10 demos in the video above follows:
