AI Everywhere: Nvidia and AMD Conducting the Orchestra
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a trend, it's the engine. CES 2026 confirmed this with a bang. Nvidia, true to its reputation, presented its new Rubin architecture, designed to surpass Blackwell and meet the gargantuan needs of next-generation AI models. Jensen Huang, a true tech rock star, claimed that Rubin will propel AI adoption at an unprecedented speed. A risky bet? Maybe, but Nvidia holds the cards.
AMD is not to be outdone. Lisa Su highlighted the Ryzen AI 400 Series processors, promising a democratization of AI directly on our PCs. No more expensive servers and unbearable latencies? That's the dream sold by AMD, and the presence of leading figures like Greg Brockman (OpenAI) on stage reinforces the credibility of their vision.
The question is no longer whether AI will transform our lives, but how and how quickly.
Robots and Humanoids: The Dawn of a New Era?
Beyond the chips, CES shone the spotlight on robotics. Hyundai, in partnership with Boston Dynamics (now far from its viral videos of spectacular falls), unveiled a new version of Atlas. What is interesting is the choice of Google for the development of the AI that will pilot these robots. A strategic alliance that could well redefine the landscape of autonomous robotics.
The ambition is clear: to create robots capable of adapting to complex environments, learning and interacting with humans intuitively. We are moving away from industrial assembly lines to envision human-machine collaboration in many fields, from logistics to healthcare to space exploration.
Hardware Resists (and Rebels)
In the shadow of AI, traditional hardware has not had its last word. Amazon, with its Alexa+, seeks to establish itself as the universal voice interface, even offering a browser version and a dedicated application. A bold bet, but competition is fierce and the issue of data privacy remains a major obstacle for many users.
Lego, for its first participation in CES, presented its Smart Play System, interactive bricks that promise a renewed gaming experience, especially with a Star Wars theme that will not fail to seduce fans. Proof that innovation is not limited to algorithms and that traditional gaming still has some great cards to play.
Razer, Always There to Surprise (or Worry) Us
And then there's Razer. Accustomed to extravagant concepts, the brand did not disappoint. Project Motoko, glasses without glasses (yes, you read that right) and Project AVA, an AI avatar that sits on your desk. It is difficult to say whether these ideas will lead to concrete products, but one thing is certain: Razer continues to push the boundaries of imagination, for better… or for worse.
