Overview
- NVIDIA focused on infrastructure with its Vera Rubin supercomputer platform and new AI models, including Cosmos for physics-based simulation and Alpamayo for autonomous driving, then followed up overnight with next‑gen G‑Sync and upgraded DLSS capable of up to 4K 240Hz path tracing.
- Intel introduced Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) on its 18A process for the next wave of AI PCs, highlighting efficiency gains, stronger integrated graphics and improved local AI performance.
- AMD unveiled Ryzen AI 400 laptop processors and refreshed desktops led by the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, framing 2026 PCs around on-device AI workloads.
- Samsung’s showcase featured a 130-inch Micro RGB halo TV with no price or release date, additional Micro RGB models in more home-friendly sizes, and hands-on demos of the Galaxy Z Trifold, while LEGO debuted app-free Smart Bricks launching with Star Wars sets.
- Robotics and energy milestones drew interest but kept caveats: Boston Dynamics’ Atlas performed in a human-operated demo as Hyundai outlined factory deployment plans, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems reported installing the first of 18 24‑ton magnets for its Devens demonstrator with grid power targeted for the next decade.
