At the highly anticipated CES event on January 7, NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang commanded the stage, unveiling a new suite of groundbreaking products that illustrate the company's ambitious AI strategy. The highlight of the event was the latest GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, led by the impressive RTX 5090. Priced at $1999, the RTX 5090 is touted as the fastest graphics card in the world, doubling the speed of its predecessor, the RTX 4090, and featuring 92 billion transistors along with 4000 AI TOPS.

Along with the RTX 5090, NVIDIA introduced the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070, with prices ranging from $549 to $999, set to launch later this month. Enhanced by DLSS 4, this series leverages AI to elevate gaming frame rates and facial details, promising users superior graphics quality. Huang highlighted that the RTX 5070, priced at $549, could match the performance of the previous RTX 4090, which retailed for $1600, showcasing AI's transformative potential.

During the 90-minute keynote, Huang shifted focus to broader AI themes, notably NVIDIA's Blackwell chips and AI Agents. While confirming Blackwell's full production status, despite past challenges, Huang humorously illustrated the chip's capabilities and emphasized its importance in meeting data center demands. He projected that AI Agents, poised to become digital collaborators across sectors, could pave the way for trillion-dollar opportunities.

The introduction of NVIDIA's Cosmos model further underscored AI's expansive role. Designed to grasp the physical world via 20 million hours of video training, Cosmos offers a new frontier for AI development. With its varied sizes, developers can harness Omniverse to translate 3D scenes into realistic environments, facilitating robotic task optimization. Open licensing on GitHub aims to amplify Cosmos's influence, rivalling major AI breakthroughs.

Additionally, Huang revealed developments in the autonomous driving sphere, spotlighting the upcoming Thor automotive chip, with efficiency 20 times that of its predecessor. Collaborations with major automotive partners underline NVIDIA's commitment to revolutionizing this sector, exemplified by the partnership with Toyota on next-generation self-driving vehicles.

The presentation culminated with a preview of Project Digits, a compact supercomputer equipped with the GB110, NVIDIA's smallest Blackwell GPU. Compatible with Arm CPUs, Project Digits is anticipated to debut in May, offering dual functionality as a standalone workstation or a complementary PC component.
