Chip giants Nvidia and AMD have both announced new AI chips for domestic computers at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES.) In a statement released yesterday, Nvidia said it would release three new graphics cards armed with tensor cores capable of running generative AI applications. On the same day, AMD announced its release of a new processor combined with a neural processing unit (NPU) designed to handle AI tasks on desktop computers – a world first, according to the company.

The news comes amid rising demand for AI chips throughout the PC market, as interest in running generative AI applications off the cloud continues to rise. For example, Nvidia claims that its new graphics cards – the RTX 4060 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super and the RT 4080 Super – boost large language models (LLMs) processing speeds by up to five times, and AI video generation by up to 150%. “With 100 million RTX GPUs shipped, they provide a massive installed base for powerful PCs for AI applications,” said Nvidia’s senior director of product management, Justin Walker, at a press conference.
