Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a suite of new products, services and partnerships at CES 2025. In a packed Las Vegas arena, Huang kicked off the CES this week with his vision for how his companies' products will drive gaming, robotics, personal computing and even self-driving vehicles forward.
Here's a look at the biggest announcements to come out of his appearance. New graphics cards and AI chips. Going back to its roots in gaming, the chipmaker and AI darling unveiled its GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs — its consumer graphics processor units for gamers, creators and developers.
Huang said the GPUs, which use the company’s next-generation artificial intelligence chip Blackwell, can deliver breakthroughs in AI-driven rendering. “Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers and creatives,” Huang said, adding that Blackwell “is the most significant computer graphics innovation since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago.” Blackwell technology is now in full production, he said.
The flagship RTX 5090 model will be available in January for $1,999. The RTX 5070 will launch later in February for $549. AI models to help with robotics and vehicles. Huang also introduced a series of new AI models — dubbed Cosmos — that can generate cost-efficient photo-realistic video that can then be used to train robots and other automated services.
The open-source model, which works with the Nvidia's Omniverse — a physics simulation tool — to create more realistic video, promises to be much cheaper than traditional forms of gathering training, such as having cars record road experiences or having people teach robots repetitive tasks.
