CES 2025 Thread (AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and others!)

Acer made an enormous 11-inch gaming handheld

Thankfully, there’s a new smaller model, too.

Acer is announcing two new Nitro Blaze gaming handhelds at CES 2025, and one of them, the Nitro Blaze 11, is truly giant with a massive 10.95-inch screen.

Is that thing huge or is that guy tiny?

Let's go Nvidia. Blow my mind with a nice $1899 price point for the 5090, and DLSS4 with neural texture compression and anti-stutter technology ensuring that frametime spikes under 100ms are no longer noticeable.

MSI announced a mobile 5090 with 24GB. Is that expected to be GB203 with 3GB chips?

The current spec for 5090 is 512bit bus. Which would put it to 16x2GB chips? 8*3GB, would mean a 256 bit bus. It would be half the bandwidth.

Its a controller on an ipad =P There's really no other way to describe it, it may look unwieldly, but as old as I am, I have a hard time gaming on something as small as steamdeck, the screen is just too tiny, or PC games aren't well designed for such small screens.

Laptop 5090 will presumably use GB203. Similar to the last several gens the top end chip won't fit into laptops.

Yep highly unlikely they will put gb202 in a laptop.

whoa, this monologue. lol.

very packed theatre.

so emotional this intro. and that jacket.

 

[iroboto]

jfc, my wallet

 

[GhostofWar]

that jacket.

lol I can appreciate a person who will take the piss out of themselves.

 

[iroboto]

interesting it sounds like they built a transformer for graphics.

I'm so amazed by their innovation here in the AI space.

 

[DavidGraham]

RTX Neural Materials, Neural Faces, DLSS4 goes to transformers instead of CNNs. DLSS goes into the future now.

 

[iroboto]

4000 AI Tops.. jfc.

I think Nvidia really walks away with a major win if they can showcase here some games that are supporting DLSS4 here.

This seems like a major lift required by developers.
Like this already mind blowing to me, but I think it'll hit home with a lot of people who aren't into AI, they just need to see the games.

oh these prices

yes man

$ 1999 5090
$ 999 5080
$ 549 5070 / 4090 equivalent -

Nearly tempting to just go after the laptops. Wow

 

[GhostofWar]

That 5090 looks smaller than the last gen, is that just me?

 

[techuse]

Are materials and texture compression going to require specific developer integration? DLSS now generates 3 frames, what about input lag?

Prices are reasonable by current standards. Curious what the small print for the performance claims is.

 

[arandomguy]

Now we can guess why AMD did not want to announce specifics prior for RDNA4.

For sure.

 

[DegustatoR]

$550 for 5070 may explain why AMD scrapped the announcement at the last minute.

It's smaller. Dual flow through helps.

 

[trinibwoy]

5080 for $1000. Called it. Prices are on the low end of most predictions. Scalpers rejoice!

125 TFlops implies ~2870Mhz on the 5090.

I’m pretty sure 5070 matching the 4090 is with DLSS4. No way it’s getting there with raw frames

 

[GhostofWar]

$ 1999 5090

I was expecting it to be priced out of my range and have to keep the 4090 till next cycle based on the rumors flowing around, this has by bank account giving me a death stare.

smaller and less power. Raw brute force was exchanged for more AI TOPs.
