The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 is set to kick off in Las Vegas from January 7 to January 10, 2025, marking a major event in the tech worldAs the show begins today, NVIDIA has already launched its flagship RTX 50 series graphics card, heralding a new era in PC gaming and performanceThe introduction of the RTX 5090 has caught the attention of enthusiasts and industry experts alike, as it is claimed to be the world's fastest graphics card, equipped with a staggering 92 billion transistors and delivering 4000 AI TOPS, effectively doubling the performance of its predecessor, the RTX 4090.

This impressive leap in performance is not just numbers; it translates into real-world gaming experiencesNVIDIA reports that, in titles such as "Cyberpunk 2077" and the highly anticipated "Black Myth: Wukong," the RTX 5090 is yielding performance improvements that are nothing short of remarkable

Additionally, with the introduction of the exclusive DLSS 4 multi-frame generation technology, gamers can now experience full ray tracing at 4K resolution with 240 frames per second, pushing the boundaries of visual fidelity.

With over 75 games and applications ready to support the new DLSS technology, including an upgrade for "Black Myth: Wukong" scheduled for later this year, the RTX 5090 is positioning itself as the centerpiece for both gaming and creative applicationsHowever, NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang is not just focused on gaming performance; he is equally excited about the capabilities the new generation of graphics cards can bring to artificial intelligence (AI) applications on personal computers.

During his keynote address, Huang introduced the concept of AI Agents, digital assistants designed to enhance workplace productivity, carrying out tasks such as search assistance, factory operations, employee management, and financial analysis

He emphasized that in the future, these AI Agents will become integral parts of the workforce, collaborating alongside human workers rather than merely serving them.

On the consumer side, NVIDIA is taking a hands-on approach by addressing the needs of users who require desktop-level AI computing powerHuang announced the development of "Project Digits," an innovative project that features NVIDIA’s superchip GB10. This device, which is comparable in size to Apple's Mac Mini, is capable of running complex AI models with 200 billion parameters while being conveniently powered from a standard outlet.

"AI is created in the cloud, but we want to bring AI to places beyond thatIt would be phenomenal if we could make Windows PCs into world-class AI PCs," Huang remarked, hinting at a vision where every user could harness AI capabilities directly from their personal computersThe RTX 50 series laptops are expected to hit the market as soon as March, igniting a new wave of upgrades and innovations in the PC realm.

CES 2025 will also see major PC manufacturers such as Lenovo, ASUS, and HP introducing their new flagship products equipped with NVIDIA graphics cards

Lenovo has teased an "unfolding screen" AIPC product, alongside other revolutionary devices aimed at providing an immersive display experienceThey aim to integrate leading technologies in display, hardware engineering, and user interaction to realize the vision of a truly borderless screen design.

Lenovo recently launched nearly 30 "AI Meta-Initial Edition" productsTheir intelligent service ecosystem, known as "Tianxi," boasts over 1500 AI applications, with three popular features being personal document management, knowledge querying, and device tuningThis fosters consistent user engagement within their ecosystem.

HP is expected to launch its flagship gaming laptop, the Omen Max 16 during CESIt is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275 HX processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, complemented by a robust 32 GB DDR5-5600 RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD, creating a powerhouse for gamers.

ASUS, too, made headlines at CES with the release of its new ROG series products, including the ROG 2025 model with an Intel Arrow Lake-H processor and RTX 5090 mobile GPU, alongside top-tier specifications aimed at gamers looking for portable yet powerful solutions.

Amidst the buzz, a notable trend is the rising interest in high-performance mini PCs among manufacturers like HP and ASUS, including NVIDIA's "Project Digits." HP has launched the Z2 Mini G1a, a professional workstation leveraging AMD's latest processing tech, while ASUS teased its 2025 ROG NUC mini gaming console, built on an Intel Ultra 9 platform with innovative cooling solutions to handle performance demands.

SoftTech, under the banner of its brand Mechanical Revolution, will exhibit its latest breakthroughs for the first time at CES, also showcasing its first "Ultra" grade laptops featuring an advanced cooling system

Their unique design aims to minimize noise while maximizing performance, plunging into the market with OLED and Mini-LED options.

As industry analysts predict, the emergence of local edge AI solutions will likely drive demand across the entire supply chainAnalyst Guo Junli notes, “AI and AI Agents will remain hot topics at this year’s CES, highlighting the deep integration of hardware with various industries.” The expectation is for technologies to shift from mere concepts to practical, scalable solutions, spurred on by the relentless innovation in chips and computing power.

Market sentiment indicates that artificial intelligence, previously reliant on cloud computing, is shifting towards localized processing due to rising demands for real-time capabilities and privacy concernsThe importance of localized edge computing technologies is gaining traction as the industry quickly adapts to these needs.

According to CITIC Construction Investment Securities, the PC market is on a gradual recovery path, with the introduction of AIPC expected to significantly increase penetration, forecasting that AIPC shipments will make up about 20% of total PC shipments in 2024.

The drive for innovation from PC manufacturers will collectively uplift the industry’s demand
