According to Euro News, CEO Jensen Huang will take the stage to present the company’s latest productivity solutions. Nvidia’s announcements are likely to draw attention not just from tech enthusiasts, but also from Wall Street investors, given the growing link between the global economy and AI data centre infrastructure powered by Nvidia chips.

Additionally, AMD could provide more details on its FSR Redstone technology, which it first previewed on Dec. 10, 2025.

Intel is set to highlight its AI PC initiative at CES 2026, focusing on the new Core Ultra Series 3 processors, also known as Panther Lake. Built using an 18A process, just under 2nm, these chips are designed for high-end laptops and gaming devices.

According to Engadget, Intel will showcase the next generation of Intel-powered PCs, edge solutions and AI experiences enabled by the Core Ultra Series 3 processors. The stakes are higher than ever for the chip giant, as recent investments by Nvidia and the US government helped nearly double its stock price over the past year.
