Nvidia, renowned for its graphics processors and innovations in artificial intelligence, unveiled its next-generation RTX 50 chips at the CES in Las Vegas, as reported by BBC News.
According to the company’s CEO Jensen Huang, the new series of chips will enable the creation of games with “incredibly realistic characters that closely resemble humans, and immersive worlds.” The RTX 50 chips will deliver graphics quality comparable to that of feature films, showcasing intricate details such as fingerprints on surfaces.
These capabilities are made possible by the new Blackwell architecture, which, as claimed by the American company, enhances performance and energy efficiency by 25 times compared to the previous generation.
Additionally, the chips support real-time generative AI functionality. The price of the devices will range from $549 to $1999.
Besides gaming chips, Nvidia introduced the Cosmos system, designed for training robots and “smart” devices. This technology replaces expensive real-world training with virtual simulations, creating training videos based on textual descriptions. Cosmos simulates the laws of physics, allowing robots to learn in environments that closely mimic real conditions.
Huang noted that despite the system's vast potential, it still has a long way to go before it can compete with popular AI systems like ChatGPT.
According to “shocking forecasts” from Saxo Bank for 2025, Nvidia's success is expected to be bolstered by the mass market introduction of its revolutionary Blackwell chip. Amid rising electricity costs and the demand for energy-efficient solutions, Nvidia could become the most profitable company in history, surpassing Apple’s record of $105 billion in profit.
