Nvidia showcased at CES 2025 all its latest cutting-edge innovations. From future AI applications and next-generation chips for games, as well as for self-driving cars through its pioneering model, up to its very first desktop computer.
All this was meant to bring huge improvements in the market so as to attract more investors and buyers in the long run.

Nvidia’s new AI innovation, Cosmos Foundation models, is to give us fresh ideas on how robots and self-driving cars are trained. Unlike the traditional methods that are often expensive and time-consuming to collect real-world data (like putting cars on the road for real-world footage or having humans demonstrate repetitive tasks to robots), Cosmos uses synthetic video generation to simulate real-world environments, Reuters reports.
Engaging a text description, users now have the possibility of creating photo-realistic videos obeying the laws of physics, thus making data gathering cheaper compared to the old ways of acquiring them.
This is quite an improvement in AI training, making it cheap and scalable to many people. These models will be on open license, just like Meta’s Llama 3 language models which are already trending in the tech world.

Gaming Chips and AI-Powered Graphics: Nvidia’s RTX 50 Series
Not to forget, the gaming world got a major upgrade with Nvidia’s announcement of its RTX 50 series gaming chips, each powered by Nvidia’s Blackwell AI technology.
These chips are said to elevate video games to have movie-like graphics, particularly in an area called shaders. Shaders add minutiae to game visuals like a ceramic teapot and realistic fingerprint smudges on surfaces.
Additionally, these chips promise to enhance human facial rendering, a crucial element where even the slightest imperfection can disrupt the immersive experience for gamers. Firstpost reports that these new gaming chips will range from $549 to $1,999, with the top models launching on Jan. 30, and the lower-tier models following in February.
According to tech consultant Ben Bajarin, these gaming chips could provide a short-term sales boost for Nvidia, given the growing demand for immersive gaming experiences.
Project DIGITS: Nvidia’s First Desktop Computer for AI Developers
Nvidia announced its first desktop computer, which is mostly marketed to AI developers rather than a consumer-level machine. At a price tag of $3,000, the machine is set to help developers run their software to test out an AI system quickly.
With the same processor that the chip uses in Nvidia’s data center offerings, Project DIGITS also comes with a central processor that was co-developed by Nvidia and Taiwan’s MediaTek.
Running Nvidia’s customized Linux-based OS, this desktop computer will present an efficient development platform for the developers working on AI projects. It is coming in March 2025 as Nvidia’s foray into the desktop market but with a very specific focus on the AI and tech development community.
Nvidia and Toyota’s Partnership
Nvidia is also ambitious in the automotive sector. Its Orin chips and automotive operating systems will power advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in Toyota models.
While the specific models were not mentioned, this is an important partnership since it brings Nvidia’s AI capabilities in line with one of the world’s leading car manufacturers.
With Nvidia projecting automotive hardware and software revenue of $5 billion by fiscal 2026, the company is betting big on the future of AI in the automotive industry.
