Leading off the second day of keynotes at this year’s Computex trade show is Marvell, who is making their first keynote appearance at the show.
Best known for their networking and storage chips, company CEO Matt Murphy is scheduled to deliver an AI-centric keynote titled “The Future of AI Scaling Depends on Connectivity.” Murphy will be outlining how Marvell chips are a critical component of AI data center infrastructure, and what the company is doing to unlock the next wave of AI innovation.
Marvell Computex 2026 Keynote Preview
As the newest member of the Computex keynote club, Marvell’s keynote is one without precedent. So as far as what to expect in terms of potential announcements is effectively a toss-up.
With that said, Marvell has outlined in its press releases that the high-level theme of the keynote is going to be all about AI data centers and the need for improved connectivity to help drive them. Marvell believes that connectivity will be the next big bottleneck in datacenter design – with compute performance gains outpacing connectivity and networking gains – making for a major market opportunity for Marvell. Between its networking and storage products the company already has a significant role in the data center industry as a supplier, so there is a great deal of interest in leveraging that for a bigger role in (and piece of the profits of) AI in general.
Along with the focus on connectivity, Marvell has also announced that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will be appearing at the keynote to discuss how Marvell and NVIDIA are working together to provide next-generation data center infrastructure. Marvell signed on as an NVLink Fusion partner back in March, with NVIDIA additionally making a $2 billion investment in the company. As a result, the two firms are now far more attached to each other than they have previously been, and Jensen’s appearance will help underscore that. At the same time, the leader of the world’s most valuable company (and bona fide local rockstar) is a top drawer in and of himself, which will further elevate the status of Marvell’s keynote.
The Marvell keynote is scheduled to run for 60 minutes, and will kick off at 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET/10:30am CST/02:30 UTC.
