Speculation has been running rampant about Nvidia’s launch of next-gen RTX 50-series GPUs, but the company itself just dropped a big hint about when they may show up. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to take the stage as the keynote speaker of CES 2025 on January 6, where there’s a good chance we’ll hear about Nvidia’s next generation of graphics cards.
Although Nvidia is at the annual tech show each year, Huang — who recently surpassed the worth of all of Intel — hasn’t made an appearance in five years. The executive will likely focus heavily on AI, as it has catapulted Nvidia to become one of the world’s wealthiest companies. But RTX 50-series GPUs should make an appearance, too. Nvidia usually takes advantage of CES to launch new graphics cards.
Last year, Nvidia introduced its RTX 40-series Super refresh, and in 2023, we got the RTX 4070 Ti. We don’t typically see the launch of an entirely new generation on the CES stage, but it’s not out of the question. Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, which is what the RTX 50-series cards use, was reportedly delayed due to a design flaw, pushing back the launch date.
It hasn’t been clear up to this point if Nvidia would launch its RTX 50-series GPUs this year or wait for early 2025. However, recent reports claim Nvidia is targeting an early 2025 release for the RTX 5090, with some leakers pointing specifically to a launch at CES 2025. This speculation came before Nvidia revealed it would be hosting the keynote at CES, lending some credibility to the claims. Although the release date remains a mystery, most reports suggest Nvidia will launch the RTX 5090 first, followed by the RTX 5080 at a later date.
The release date is up in the air, but one thing is certain — the RTX 5090 won’t be for the faint of heart. Credible leakers say that the flagship GPU will require upwards of 600 watts of power, as well as come strapped with 32GB of next-gen GDDR7 memory. Despite that, leakers say that the card will use a dual-slot cooler, potentially making it smaller than the RTX 4090 while drawing significantly more power.
Speech-to-text apps have flooded the App Store, making it easier than ever to type on our Macs with just our voice. I have previously covered one such app called TypeWhisper. However, there has been a dearth of good text-to-speech models, and most of the good ones are locked behind a subscription.
Ollama, an open-source app that lets you run local AI models on your computer, wants to change that. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and your prompts are never stored or used for training.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
