With two media days, the major electronics trade fair CES (Consumer Electronic Show) is the first major event of the year in North America. Nearly 130,000 people are expected at the Las Vegas Convention Center between January 9th and 12th.
Nvidia
Nvidia's RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4080 Super graphics cards could hit the market in early 2024. Analyst Kopite7kimi claims that Nvidia's RTX40 series super cards will be shown at CES in January 2024, according to VideoCardz. Kopite7kimi's track record is considered reliable when it comes to Nvidia hardware.

The same super RTX 40 series graphics cards are also expected to have a higher memory bus than the existing 4080/4070 cards. The RTX 4080 Super is expected to come with a 320-bit memory bus, while the RTX 4070 Super could launch with a 256-bit memory bus.
Although these are rumors, the last RTX Super cards were from 2019 with the 20 series.
Mobile generative AI
As we described in November with Humane AI Pin's amazing little device, mobile artificial intelligence will be the focus of CES.

According to Cristiano Amon, CEO and President of Qualcomm (maker of Snapdragon chips), “We are entering the era of generative AI, and mobile generative AI has the potential to profoundly change the way we interact with our devices “The pervasive and continuous use of AI on device will transform our user experience, making it more natural, intuitive, relevant and personal, with greater immediacy, privacy and security.”
Even more advanced televisions
In the TV sector we expect brighter DELo (OLED) models. Manufacturers will release the new 8K screens, which will undoubtedly be equipped with the famous microLED matrices and will probably have even larger screen sizes.
Electric cars
At last year's CES, Sony surprised everyone by introducing the Afeela, an electric sedan. The consumer electronics giant, which is looking at the EV market as a new niche to secure its future, could well release a second new prototype. When it comes to consumer electronics, Sony recently launched its PS5 Slim console and PlayStation Portal controller, so it's hard to expect anything truly new.

AMD
Since AMD recently announced its Ryzen 8000 mobile processor, the Ryzen 9 8945HS, we expect many laptops to feature this new chip. With the AMD Z1 and Z1 Extreme laptop chips powering devices like the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, there will also be a ton of third-party portable gaming-related products at CES 2024.
Samsung and LG
Samsung, for example, will likely return to CES this year to showcase its latest innovations in QD-OLED TVs. The Samsung S95C OLED is one of the best TVs of 2023, so there will undoubtedly be a sequel at CES 2024. We might even get a taste of the Galaxy S24 phone, which is rumored to launch on January 17th.
LG will also likely introduce its successors to the LG C3 OLED and LG G3 OLED – probably called LG C4 OLED and G4 OLED…
Overall, CES 2024 will also focus on the latest automotive technologies, digital health, gaming, NFTs, smart homes and more. Of course, major electronics manufacturers will, as usual, introduce new televisions, laptops and other technical devices.
CES 2024 nominations
The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® announced the winners of the 2024 CES Innovation Awards last November – including 36 products named Best Innovation of the year.
