Best trade show for PC hardware ‘confident’ to return to Taipei this year
Computex organizer TAITRA believes the show will take place in 2022. That means we could see one of the biggest and most exciting tech shows for PC gaming possibly returning to Taipei in two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Li said the country’s high vaccination rate and the reopening of Taiwan’s exhibition last year are reasons why TAITRA is confident in the return of the exhibition.
However, it’s worth having a backup plan. Computex 2022 will remain a hybrid event: physical from May 24-27 and digital show DigitalGO from May 24-June 6.
The program organizer also teased some potential appearances On the show: AMD and Nvidia have expressed interest in returning to Computex in 2022, as have Acer, Asus, Gigabyte, Micron, and MSI.
Computex has hosted a number of major tech companies announcing their future PC gaming offerings and ambitions. On top of that, AMD has used the opportunity in the past to announce PC gaming technologies, including RDNA GPUs; Ryzen CPUs; and, at last year’s show, 3D V-cache processors.
Hopefully the Taiwan Tech Show will bring something to our PC gamers, which may be a little heartening as it returns to an in-person event.
That said, CES is back in Las Vegas this year, although many companies have pulled out or declined to attend the live event in previous months due to growing concerns about the Omicron variant. Companies like AMD, MSI, Microsoft, and Intel.
That’s the difficulty with any event that brings thousands of people together: Covid-19 isn’t going away, and even the best plans can still have an impact.
Here’s hoping, though, that Computex 2022 will restore some semblance of normalcy, with the health and safety of attendees a top priority. I’m not just saying that being a big fan of Taipei, they really, really want to go back. Although this is absolutely true. Some parts of Computex feel like the heart of PC gaming as a hobby — modded PCs, weird components, and extremely overclocked builds are common on the Computex show floor.
Where else would you see a gaming PC modified to look like an Apex loot box, placed in front of a Heineken gaming PC, and actually dispensing beer?
