In a packed Las Vegas arena, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang took the stage at CES 2025 on Monday night. The audience was wowed by the crisp real-time computer graphics displayed on the screen behind him. A dark-haired woman walked through ornate gilded double doors and took in the rays of light that poured in through stained glass windows.
The Power of Artificial Intelligence
Huang was amazed by the sheer amount of geometry showcased, stating, "It would have been impossible without artificial intelligence." Nvidia unveiled its GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs, which are designed for use on both desktop and laptop computers. This latest tech is set to revolutionize gaming, creating immersive experiences that were previously unimaginable.
Nvidia Stock on the Rise
Ahead of Huang’s speech, Nvidia stock climbed 3.4% to top its record set in November. Despite concerns over Nvidia’s share price being bloated and the company being overvalued, Nvidia and other AI stocks continue to rise.
Breakthroughs in AI-Driven Rendering
The GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs use Nvidia’s next-generation artificial intelligence chip Blackwell. Huang proudly announced that Blackwell can deliver breakthroughs in AI-driven rendering, stating, "Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers, and creatives." He added that Blackwell is "the most significant computer graphics innovation since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago."
Full Production and Future Developments
Huang announced that Blackwell technology is now in full production. Building on the tech Nvidia released 25 years ago, the company also introduced "RTX Neural Shaders," which use AI to help render game characters in deep detail. This feature is particularly significant as it tackles a notoriously tricky task – creating digital humans with minimal errors.
Autonomous Characters: A New Era of Gaming
Nvidia is also introducing a new suite of technologies that enable "autonomous characters" to perceive, plan, and act like human players. These characters can help players plan strategies or adapt tactics to challenge players and create more dynamic battles.
Artificial Intelligence at CES 2025: A Growing Trend
In addition to Nvidia, tech giants such as AMD, Google, and Samsung are showcasing artificial intelligence tools aimed at helping both content creators and consumers alike in their quest for entertainment. This growing trend highlights the increasing importance of AI in the tech industry.
