Nvidia Highlights AI Chips Powering PUBG, Robotics ‘ChatGPT Moment,’ Automotive Expansion and More at CES Event
In the midst of a strong start to the year, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to make waves in the tech industry with its innovative advancements. The company’s recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) event showcased some impressive AI-powered products and collaborations that are set to revolutionize various sectors.
A $3,000 Desktop-Sized Personal AI Supercomputer
During his CES 2025 keynote, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled Project DIGITS, a $3,000 desktop-sized personal AI supercomputer powered by the GB10 Grace Blackwell super chip. This device is designed for individuals and small businesses looking to harness the power of AI in their daily operations.
The Project DIGITS supercomputer boasts impressive specs, including:
- 1.5 petaflops (PFLOPS) of performance
- 100 GB/s of memory bandwidth
- Supports 8 NVIDIA A100 Tensor Cores
This device is expected to cater to a wide range of applications, from AI research and development to data science and machine learning.
RTX 5000 GPU Series and Laptops with RTX 50-Series
Huang also showcased the new RTX 5000 GPU series, which promises to deliver exceptional performance for gaming, content creation, and AI workloads. The RTX 5090 chips are particularly noteworthy, as they will enable developers to integrate generative AI into their characters in games like PUBG: Battlegrounds.
The new processors will also be able to run large language models and image generation models from companies like Meta, Mistral, and Stability AI.
Nvidia’s Automotive Expansion
Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM) has partnered with Nvidia to enhance its automated driving capabilities using the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin. This collaboration is expected to grow Nvidia’s automotive vertical business to ~$5 billion in fiscal 2026 from ~$4 billion in fiscal 2025.
Nvidia’s existing clients for Drive AGX include BYD Co (OTC:BYDDF) (OTC:BYDDY), Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:LI), Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID), Rivian Automotive, Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN), Xiaomi Corp (OTC:XIACF) (OTC:XIACY), and Zeekr Intelligent Technology Holding (NYSE:ZK).
Open-Source Llama Models and Cosmos Foundation Models
Nvidia has also forged an alliance with Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) to innovate open-source Llama models. These models are expected to outperform OpenAI potentially, as per Daniel Newman of The Futurum Group.
Huang showcased physical AI tools to train robots, leveraging simulated environments that closely mimic the real world. These tools enabled higher automation in warehouses and factories and boosted a humanoid-robot market that the company said could be worth $38 billion in decades.
The ChatGPT Moment for General Robotics
Huang told The Wall Street Journal that the ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner. This refers to the widespread adoption of AI-powered robots in various industries, much like how language models have become a norm.
Nvidia product director Justin Walker told CNBC that despite being an AI company and a gaming company, the gaming side still benefits tremendously from being an AI company.
Cosmos Foundation Models
Nvidia also announced its Cosmos foundation models, which generate photorealistic video to train robots and self-driving cars at a more affordable cost. These models will be available on an ‘open license,’ similar to Meta’s Llama 3 language models.
Huang expects Cosmos to do the same for robotics and industrial AI as Llama 3 has done for enterprise AI, according to Reuters.
Bank of America’s Vivek Arya told Reuters that he will await possible upside from Nvidia’s robotics by drawing parallels with the metaverse and autonomous cars.
