At CES 2025, Nvidia showcased its latest innovations, highlighting advancements in artificial intelligence, gaming technology, and its first desktop computer. CEO Jensen Huang revealed how the company plans to extend the AI technology behind its data center chips to consumer PCs and laptops.
Among the most notable announcements was the introduction of Cosmos foundation models, which create photo-realistic video for robot and self-driving car training. This technology offers a more cost-effective way to generate synthetic data, enabling robots and cars to better understand the physical world. Cosmos will be available on an open license, echoing the success of Meta’s Llama 3 language models.
Huang also presented Nvidia’s new gaming chips, the RTX 50 series, which leverage ‘Blackwell’ AI technology. These chips promise enhanced graphics, including more realistic human faces and intricate textures in video games. The chips will range in price from $549 to $1,999, with the top models launching in January and lower-tier versions arriving in February.
Additionally, Nvidia revealed Project DIGITS, its first desktop computer, aimed at software developers working on AI systems. Priced at $3,000, the desktop will feature Nvidia’s data center chip and a processor developed in collaboration with MediaTek.
Nvidia also announced that Toyota Motor will integrate Nvidia’s Orin chips and automotive operating system into several of its models for advanced driver assistance. The company projects $5 billion in automotive hardware and software revenue by fiscal 2026.
With a stock closing at a record high of $149.43, Nvidia’s market value rose to $3.66 trillion, securing its position as the second-most valuable publicly traded company globally, behind Apple.
