Nvidia has announced that it will be attending CES 2025. CEO Jensen Huang is set to give a keynote speech on Monday, January 6, at 18:30 local time, just one day before the CES exhibition opens to visitors on January 7. This announcement seems to confirm prior speculation about the company planning to introduce something major during the event.
Potential New Graphics Cards
It’s likely that Nvidia could reveal the next-generation Blackwell-based GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 (and let’s hope there won’t be a RTX 5080 12 GB this time). The RTX 5090 is rumored to get a significant spec boost with 32 GB of 28 Gbps GDDR6 VRAM on a 512-bit bus, while the RTX 5080 is expected to retain 16 GB. Since the flagship models have been postponed, Nvidia might also showcase some more affordable options alongside these high-end cards.
Laptop Variants on the Horizon?
As for their laptop versions, Nvidia traditionally launches these at CES, and it will be curious to see if this trend continues. However, the likelihood seems diminished because Nvidia has time to refine its products, especially with limited competition from AMD. Nevertheless, Team Red is expected to present some mid to upper-mid range RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 8000 series models at the event.
