UPDATE 1/5: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang didn’t talk at all about graphics cards or gaming at its CES event today. Instead, he focused on the company’s newest AI chips meant to help tech giants unleash even more generative AI programs. Check out everything he discussed in the video above.
Original Story:
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will take the stage at the 3,800-seat Fontainebleau BleauLive Theater on Monday afternoon to share “what’s new for AI.” In Nvidia’s case, what’s next is boatloads of money courtesy of the chips powering today’s massive AI data centers, but we’ll learn all the details starting at 1 p.m. PT on Jan. 5, 2026, which will live-stream in the video below. (A pre-show begins at 11:30 a.m. PT if you'd like to spend your entire day with Nvidia.)
As we explained in our CES 2026 preview story, CES in 2025 was all about new hardware. We’d like to get the same at CES 2026, but we don’t see much new core desktop silicon on the immediate horizon. The lack of credible leaks around RTX Super cards also puts a damper on that for CES, to our eyes. Not to mention the skyrocketing cost of memory lately. But maybe Nvidia will surprise us.
At its CES showcase, which runs from Jan. 6-8, the company is promising first looks at "cutting-edge AI, robotics, simulation, gaming, and content creation," including 20+ demos.

Huang already gave a nearly two-hour keynote at GTC DC in late October, where he announced a partnership with Nokia to build gear for the 6G networks, touted quantum computing advances, and argued that Nvidia's current Grace Blackwell and upcoming Vera Rubin GPU platforms will make AI cheaper to use.
He also thanked President Trump for bringing manufacturing back to the US, a tactic that paid off last month when the US government approved the sale of Nvidia's H200 AI graphics chip systems to China, with certain stipulations.
