All that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced in his CES 2025 keynote

NVIDIA endures CES 2025 Keynote last night with CEO Jensen Huang, and it was surprisingly eventful. The company has finally unveiled its long-awaited GeForce RTX 5000 GPUs, which promise a significant performance boost to begin with. The company didn’t stop there, it also announced Project Digits, a personal AI supercomputer, along with DLSS 4 and more. Here’s a recap of what happened – and you can watch the entire event uncut via the YouTube embed below. (Spoiler alert: It goes on for more than 90 minutes.)

NVIDIA RTX 5000 series GPUs

Huang came out with a new snakeskin-like leather jacket and revealed the long-awaited RTX 5090 GPU. With 32GB of GDDR7 RAM and an impressive 21,760 CUDA cores, the new flagship can deliver up to twice the relative performance, especially for ray-traced (RT)-intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077. In fact, this particular title runs at 234fps in second with full RT turned on in a video demo, compared to the RTX 4090’s 109 fps. It’s not cheap, though, at $1,999.

The company also revealed the $549 RTX 5070 with a much more modest 6144 CUDA cores and 12GB of DDR7 RAM, along with the $749 RTX 5070 Ti and $999 RTX 5080.

DLSS 4

A key part of the launch of the RTX 5000 series was DLSS 4 introductionthe latest version of the company’s real-time image scaling technology. It features a new technology called Multi Frame Generation, which allows new GPUs to generate up to three additional frames for every frame the GPU produces through traditional rendering – helping to multiply frame rates up to eight times. It also represents what NVIDIA calls “the biggest upgrade to its AI models” since DLSS 2, improving things like temporal stability and detail while reducing artifacts like ghosting.

Design figures

NVIDIA finally launched Design figuresa “personal AI supercomputer” designed for AI researchers, data scientists and students. It uses NVIDIA’s new GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, providing up to a petaflop of performance for testing and running AI models. The company says a single Project Digits module can handle models as large as 200 billion parameters, or multiple machines can be linked together to handle up to 405 billion parameter models. And for the target audience, Project Digits is relatively inexpensive at $3,000.

On top of that, the company introduced NVIDIA Cosmos global base models for robotics and AV development, NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion AV platform for autonomous vehicles and AI Foundation models for RTX computers “that power digital humans.” Everything is explained in the video above and on NVIDIA Key blog for CES 2025.

NVDA’s stock price is a swing

CES — and Huang’s keynote — comes amid continued volatility in the company’s stock price. Shares of NVIDIA (ticker NVDA) jumped ahead of Huang’s address, closing on Monday just shy of the peak of Apple’s market cap. But Tuesday saw a reversal in stocks down more than 6 percent. Still, some are betting it’s a toss-up between the two tech giants as to who will strike A market valuation of $4 trillion first.
