And that’s a wrap from Nvidia’s keynote at CES 2025. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to bother Nvidia PR to try and track down some spec sheets. Stay tuned for more information on CES 2025 throughout the week, including more details on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs.
I have to say that if I have to deal with the AI model collapsing in the product I’m using, I’d rather not have to deal with that at highway speeds.
Hmm. Synthetic input data has been shown to quickly degrade the quality of the model you’re training (model crash), something I haven’t heard mentioned even once. I wonder how nvidia plans to address that issue.
Nvidia’s self-driving car chip would be annihilated in New York traffic, I can guarantee that, although it could work in many other cities.
The Nvidia RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Ti laptops will be available starting in March, while the RTX 5070 laptops will be available starting in April.
Well, we just received news about the availability of the Blackwell GPU.
The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will go on sale on January 30, 2025 for $1,999 and $999, respectively.
The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 will be available in February for $749 and $549 respectively. UK and Australian pricing was not provided, but we’ve reached out to Nvidia for clarification.
The concern with synthetic data is that we will end up with a Habsburg AI, one that effectively relies on its own data to the point of becoming a useless abomination. Google the Habsburg monarchs of Europe if you want to see why this is such an apt description of the problem.
Okay, so the end of data for training models is another major bottleneck for AI, and what Jensen is talking about here with Cosmos is generating new data that subsequent models can be trained on (synthetic data ), since these models have already consumed all the existing data on which they could be trained.
However.
I wonder how Cosmos will avoid model collapse.
Well, sorry folks, we were dealing with some technical difficulties, but we’re back to the action, and that action has to do with tokens. They are chips until the end.
Well, the virtual human is still giving a big uncanny valley, but it’s less severe than it used to be.
Coding wizards are the death knell for the junior software developer. So much for “learning to code”.
Oh man, I just had a dark thought. Can you imagine training the AI agent that is taking your job? That’s discouraging.
I mean, I find this whole discussion about AI interesting from an academic perspective, but I think there are a lot of expectations for these data centers, and no one mentions that the power requirements for these are pretty much going to put a cap on them. about what they can do, since we only have a limited amount of electrical energy available on a grid at any given time.
So we have fully entered the data center segment of the keynote. While GeForce graphics cards received at least a little more time and attention than Lovelace, it’s clear that these cards aren’t as important to Nvidia as the data center business.
And yeah, that part of the shield was a little… well, it was something.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series mobile GPUs are also coming, and the RTX 5070 mobile features RTX 4090 performance, although I assume Jensen is referring to RTX 4090 mobile performance.
Additionally, the RTX 5000 series will be available from in January, although we don’t know which one will arrive first.
If the shader cores can also handle the weight of AI workloads, as Jensen claimed, then we will get much better DLSS on these cards.
Well, very little about specifications, but I want to know about this AI management processor.
Well, RTX 5090 starts at $1,999. RTX 5080 for $999. RTX 5070 Ti for $749. Yes, absolutely. This is what I want to see.
Don’t get me wrong, these are still expensive graphics cards, but given the fears of a $1600 RTX 5080, this is a very pleasant surprise.
Well, RTX 5070 at $549, RTX 4090 performance. Wow.
Okay, so Jensen has the RTX 5090 in his hands.
Nvidia RTX Blackwell is official and it is a very nice graphics card.
That was a pretty impressive display.
Ok, first mention of GeForce, so here we go.
that was very short Virtuous fighter manifestation.
LOL, Jensen’s jacket is bedazzled.
Chips, chips, chips. It’s no surprise that we’re jumping right into AI, but yes, it’s remarkable how much Nvidia has transformed almost overnight.
Well, NOW we are starting.
Okay, the Nvidia segment of the keynote is about to start, but it sure is taking a while. Nvidia typically boots up faster than this.
Okay, ironically I love ‘I’ll Never Leave You’. I used to skate to that song when I was a kid.
CTA President Gary Shapiro introduces Jensen Huang.
OK, I WANT an exoskeleton. Those things look incredibly cool.
Well, here we go.
The biggest thing I’m looking forward to tonight is Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and possibly the RTX 5070 Ti.
Following Nvidia’s Lovelace GPUs, the Blackwell-based RTX 5000 series is expected to be substantially more powerful, with rumors putting the RTX 5080 around 10% faster than the RTX 4090, currently the best graphics card on the market. consumption.
That, of course, would put the RTX 5090 in a completely separate class, and there’s no telling where its performance will ultimately end up. That said, if speculation is correct, it should pack 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM with 1.52TB/s memory bandwidth on a 512-bit memory bus, making it truly the first graphics card for 8K games in the world.
Well folks, we’re approaching 15 minutes into the start of Nvidia’s keynote at CES 2025, where CEO Jensen Huang will take the state at Madalay Bay’s Michelob Stadium. We’re expecting some big news tonight, so those who have been waiting for news on Nvidia’s next-generation consumer graphics cards won’t have to wait much longer.
And if you really want to hear all about data center AI and the Omniverse, I’m sure Jensen will be familiar with that too.
