The year may have just started, but investors have already received a wealth of information from many tech companies at CES.

Helios will go head-to-head with Nvidia’s own NVL systems, matching its latest NVL72’s 72 Rubin GPUs with 72 of AMD’s MI455X chips. It’s another sign that AMD is working to move further in on Nvidia’s turf in the AI data center market.

AMD CEO Lisa Su said in an interview with CNBC Tuesday that physical AI enabling autonomous machines from humanoid robots to self-driving cars could be the "next big thing."

In a age when there's voracious demand for AI compute capacity, the chipmakers rule the roost...as we saw at CES this week.

Still, that there's at least some focus on local AI could be positive for us puny consumers. Especially because running AI models locally requires memory, either on the system side, à la Strix Halo, or with a ton of VRAM, such as on the RTX 5090.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the chip maker’s next big AI graphics processing unit, Vera Rubin, is in ‘full production.’
