Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will deliver a keynote at CES 2025 in January. The keynote will take place on January 6th at 6:30PM PT / 9:30PM ET, just a day before the Consumer Electronics Show opens its doors in Las Vegas. It comes amid rumors of next-gen Nvidia GPUs appearing early next year.
A source familiar with Nvidia’s plans told The Verge last month that we might hear more about the RTX 50-series at the Consumer Electronics Show in early 2025. Nvidia is an official guest keynote of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) for this upcoming CES show, after the company previously delivered its own “special address” stream at CES 2024 earlier this year.
While Huang will undoubtedly focus on the AI hardware and software that has propelled the company to a $3 trillion valuation, he may well discuss the company’s upcoming desktop GPUs based on the Blackwell architecture.
Specifications for Nvidia’s RTX 5090 allegedly appeared online last month, with rumors that the flagship GPU for the 50-series will include 32GB of VRAM. Rumors suggest Nvidia may announce both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 at the same time, with both cards reportedly more power-hungry and built using GDDR7 memory.
It’s been more than two years since Nvidia first introduced the RTX 40-series of GPUs, with the announcement of the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 in September 2022. Nvidia announced its RTX 40-series Super cards at CES 2024, with the RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and RTX 4080 Super all having launched earlier this year.
