NVIDIA Unleashes AI Supercomputers—And Maybe Even a Robot Overlord!

NVIDIA is on a roll at CES, unveiling its new AI supercomputer and gaming chips while sending stocks soaring! Is the tech world ready for AI agents and Blackwell chips? Let’s find out!

At CES 2025, NVIDIA took center stage by revealing the highly anticipated Project DIGITS, a personal AI supercomputer aimed at empowering AI researchers, data scientists, and curious students around the world. This cutting-edge laptop, retailing for around US$3000 (~RM13,500), boasts NVIDIA’s groundbreaking "Blackwell" AI chip. Imagine having the computational power of an AI supercomputer right on your desk! Students can now accelerate their learning, researchers can dive deeper into data analysis, and data scientists can enhance their projects with AI capabilities that were once the realm of science fiction.

Not only did NVIDIA steal the spotlight with their personal supercomputer, but they unveiled an impressive new lineup of gaming chips under the GeForce RTX 50 series. These chips doubled creative performance, thanks to improved AI tools and impressive features such as FP4 and up to three encoders supporting the 4:2:2 color format. Gamers across Malaysia should start saving those Ringgit because these babies promise gaming experiences that will blow your mind! The hype was palpable, leading Nvidia's stock to soar by a whopping 24% just one day after CEO Jensen Huang's powerful keynote address at CES.

Adding to the excitement, NVIDIA's breakthrough technology in autonomous vehicles was also showcased with the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion Platform, which recently passed rigorous safety assessments from TÜV SÜD. This achievement signifies a major advancement in the realm of self-driving technology, making the dream of fully autonomous vehicles much closer to reality. As NVIDIA aims to integrate its AI capabilities into various sectors, from automotive to gaming to personal computing, one can't help but feel that they might be slightly ahead of the game when it comes to the future of innovation.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for NVIDIA, as their shares saw a 6% dip following a record high in stock prices just a day prior. This stock fluctuation is a reminder of the volatile nature of tech markets, and analysts are watching closely to see how NVIDIA maneuvers in this rollercoaster of a market. Investors remain optimistic, but will NVIDIA keep the momentum going?
