At CES 2024, top PC hardware from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel was showcased. Each of them released new processors for both mobile and desktop, as well as new graphics cards. Now the question remains— which one came out on top?
Intel introduced a new lineup of CPUs ranging from the Core i3 to the Core i9-HX, expanding their range of top-tier chips. AMD also made significant strides with revolutionary APUs and a new graphics card. And Nvidia, in an unprecedented move, offered better value in its new GPUs. So, let’s take a closer look at each one and determine the winner of CES 2024.
Nvidia: Super cards and AI Innovations
Nvidia unveiled its much-anticipated RTX 40-series Super refresh at CES 2024, with a trio of graphics cards that had been leaked multiple times before the event. However, despite the already-known specs, Nvidia still managed to surprise by offering more value rather than simply more performance in its new GPUs.
The RTX 4080 Super, even though it only offers a slight performance improvement over the RTX 4080, came with a price tag of $1,000—$200 less than expected. Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 Super offered performance boosts while retaining the original prices. Nvidia also showcased its innovation in AI with Nvidia’s Ace, an AI technology that allows gamers to interact with NPCs and receive custom responses.
AMD: The Return of the APUs
AMD’s spotlight at CES was on processors and AI, with the introduction of the Ryzen 8000G APUs powered by Zen 4 cores. Additionally, AMD unveiled the RX 7600 XT, a mid-range graphics card with boosted VRAM and an affordable price tag of $330.
Intel: A Focus on CPU Innovations
Intel showcased a wide range of new processors across desktop and mobile platforms, with a focus on Raptor Lake refresh. The company also unveiled new chips for ultrathin laptops and introduced AI solutions tailored for the automotive market.
Conclusion
Nvidia emerged as the winner at CES 2024, with surprising value offerings in its new GPUs. AMD also made significant strides with its APUs and mid-range GPU. While Intel showcased a vast lineup of processors, it didn’t quite make the same impact as its competitors. Nonetheless, all three technology giants brought noteworthy, innovative products to the table, making CES 2024 an exciting event for PC hardware enthusiasts.
