The leader of US tech titan Nvidia has revealed the company’s upcoming series of gaming chips, referred to as the RTX 50-series.
This revelation took place during Jensen Huang’s keynote speech at CES, an annual tech exposition held in Las Vegas.
According to him, the latest collection of chips will incorporate Nvidia’s Blackwell artificial intelligence (AI) technology to produce cinematic-quality visuals, addressed to an enthusiastic crowd.
The pricing for the chips will vary from $549 (£438) to $1,999, and they operate at double the speed of their predecessors, he noted.
Mr. Huang conducted a live demonstration showcasing exceptionally intricate graphics with a variety of textures and movements.
“It was amazing that they can achieve this in real time,” remarked Gary Yang, a robotics graduate student at the California Institute of Technology.
“In the past, we would consider these graphics to be pre-rendered.”
The new chips are set to start reaching consumers in late January.
“I found it phenomenal,” said Scott Epstein from the tech startup Agenovate AI. “They are consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation.”
Both Mr. Yang and Mr. Epstein were part of the thousands who attended the presentation, both in person and virtually, on the eve of CES’s official launch.
The convention is projected to attract over 150,000 participants and more than 4,500 exhibitors over the next week.
On Monday, Nvidia’s stock reached a new all-time high ahead of Mr. Huang’s eagerly awaited speech.
He devoted the initial segment of his address to discussing the company’s background.
Founded in 1993, Nvidia initially specialized in producing the kinds of chips that handle graphics processing, particularly for gaming applications.
Now, thirty-one years later, Nvidia is at the forefront of chip development that fuels AI, with a market capitalization exceeding $3 trillion.
Nevertheless, Nvidia still encounters notable challenges, particularly from global regulators who have expressed concerns regarding its expanding influence in the AI chip sector.
Last year, the corporation disclosed that it had been approached by regulatory authorities in the US, UK, European Union, South Korea, and China.
