adminNvidia Unveils AI Innovations, New Gaming Chips, and First Desktop PC at CES 2025
At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nvidia revealed an array of groundbreaking products, including advanced AI technologies for training robots and autonomous vehicles, enhanced gaming chips, and its first-ever desktop computer. CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the company’s efforts to bring its powerful data center AI technology to consumer devices like PCs and laptops.
One of the standout announcements was the introduction of Nvidia’s Cosmos foundation models, which create photo-realistic video to train robots and self-driving cars more cost-effectively than traditional methods. These models produce “synthetic” training data, allowing machines to learn about the physical world in a way similar to how large language models help chatbots generate human-like text. With Cosmos, users can generate physics-based video from simple text descriptions, significantly reducing the need for costly real-world data collection.
Nvidia also unveiled its latest gaming chips, the RTX 50 series, which incorporate the company’s ‘Blackwell’ AI technology. These chips promise to deliver cinematic-quality graphics, particularly enhancing ‘shaders’ to add realistic imperfections to objects like ceramic surfaces. They will also enable game developers to create more lifelike human faces. The RTX 50 series chips will be available in January, with prices ranging from $549 to $1,999.
Another major reveal was Project DIGITS, Nvidia’s first desktop computer, designed for programmers. Priced at $3,000 and running on a Linux-based Nvidia operating system, it features a chip similar to those used in Nvidia’s data centers, combined with a CPU developed in collaboration with MediaTek. This compact desktop will help individual developers quickly test AI systems and will be available in March.
Nvidia also announced that Japan’s Toyota Motor will utilize its Orin chips and automotive operating system to enhance advanced driver assistance in multiple vehicle models, though specific details were not disclosed. Toyota’s shares rose 1.7% following the announcement.
Looking ahead, Nvidia forecasts its automotive hardware and software revenue to reach $5 billion in fiscal 2026, up from an expected $4 billion this year. The CES 2025 conference runs from January 7 to 10.
Nvidia’s stock reached a record high of $149.43 on Monday, bringing its market valuation to $3.66 trillion, solidifying its position as the world’s second-most valuable company after Apple.
