Asian semiconductor shares advanced on Tuesday after Nvidia unveiled its latest artificial-intelligence processor platform at the CES 2026 trade show in Las Vegas, boosting optimism that sustained demand for advanced chips will support global technology growth.
Nvidia showcased its new Vera Rubin AI computing platform, which integrates next-generation GPUs and CPUs for data-center workloads, reinforcing the company’s position at the forefront of AI hardware development.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) (TW:2330) led regional gains, climbing 2% to a fresh record high, as investors bet the contract chipmaker will benefit from strong production orders for Nvidia-designed processors.
In South Korea, Samsung Electronics (KS:005930) reversed earlier losses to trade 1% higher, while SK Hynix Inc. (KS:000660) jumped more than 4% on expectations of improving memory-chip demand tied to AI infrastructure spending.
Across Japan, major chip-related names — including Renesas Electronics Corp. (TYO:6723) and Advantest Corp. (TYO:6857) — also gained, with broader technology buying helping lift the TOPIX index to new highs.
In China and Hong Kong, Hua Hong Semiconductor (HK:1347) rose 1.4% and NAURA Technology Group (SZ:002371) added 1.1%, although some mainland semiconductor stocks trimmed earlier gains as investors weighed China’s push for greater technology self-reliance.
The continued enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence has been drawing capital into Asian chipmakers, underscoring the region’s central role in the global AI supply chain and the momentum behind next-generation semiconductor investment.
