Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a new series of gaming chips

At CES 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a new series of gaming chips, the RTX 50 series, based on the company’s advanced ‘Blackwell’ AI technology. Designed to enhance graphics realism, the chips improve visual details such as shaders, adding lifelike imperfections to objects, and generate more realistic human faces in games.

The chips range from $549 to $1,999, with high-end models launching on January 30 and mid-tier versions in February. Notably, the $549 chip matches the performance of Nvidia’s previous flagship RTX 4090, which retailed for $1,600.
