On January 8, local time, the technology event CES kicked off in Las Vegas, USA。

At this year's CES, artificial intelligence is the subject of much attention。Among them, Nvidia, as a global chip giant, produces the most AI-usable chips.。Its every move at the exhibition has attracted everyone's attention.。As Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of NVIDIA GeForce, said at the show: "Today, NVIDIA is at the center of the latest technological change: Generative AI.。"

The "Cornerstone" of Generative Artificial Intelligence

Fisher said that as artificial intelligence gradually becomes mainstream, Nvidia's RTX GPU shipments exceed 100 million units and play a key role in the emerging field of generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion.。

Last October, Nvidia released the TensorRT-LLM library for Windows, which accelerates large language models (LLMs) such as Llama 2 and Mistral by a factor of 5 on RTX PCs.。

Later this month, Nvidia will release a new Chat with RTX Playground, software that allows AI enthusiasts to connect RTX-accelerated LLMs to their own data using Retrieval Enhanced Generation (RAG) to interact with their notes, documents and other content.。

Fisher also introduced TensorRT acceleration for Stable Diffusion XL and SDXL Turbo in the popular Automatic1111 text-to-image application with up to 60% performance improvement。

Nvidia Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) Microservices Debut

According to officials, Nvidia ACE is a technology platform that brings digital avatars to life through generative artificial intelligence.。ACE AI models can run in the cloud or on-premises PCs。

In the ACE demo, Nvidia Senior Product Manager Seth Schneider showed how it works。

First, the player's voice input is passed to Nvidia's automatic speech recognition model, which converts speech into text。Then, put the text into the LLM to generate the character's response。

After that, the text response is emitted using the text-to-speech model, which is passed to the animation model to create realistic lip synchronization。Finally, the dynamic character is rendered into the game scene.。

At CES, Nvidia announced the launch of ACE product microservices for Audio2Face and Riva automatic speech recognition。

Game and interactive avatar developers are pioneering the use of ACE and generative artificial intelligence technology to transform interactions between players and non-playable characters in games and applications, Nvidia said.。Nvidia revealed that developers using ACE include Convai, Charisma.AI, Inworld, miHoYo, NetEase Games, Palm Fun Technology, Tencent, Ubisoft and UneeQ。

Nvidia Launches GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series

At this CES, Nvidia announced the launch of GeForce RTX 40 SUPER series graphics cards - GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER。

These GPUs are faster than their predecessors and feature the power of the RTX platform to enhance the performance of games, applications, and AI tasks。

● RTX 4070 SUPER。The chip has 20% more CUDA core than RTX 4070, which is very suitable for playing the latest and best games at 1440p at the highest setting。In the most graphics-intensive games, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is faster than the GeForce RTX 3090, while the power consumption is much lower than the RTX 3090。

The RTX 4070 SUPER will go on sale on January 17 for $599。

● RTX 4070 Ti SUPER。The chip has more CUDA cores and more memory, increases the frame buffer to 16GB, and is equipped with a 256-bit memory bus。This chip can maximize the performance of a high-refresh 1440p panel, and even play games in 4K。

RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is 1 faster than RTX 3070 Ti.6 times, the speed is faster than RTX 3070 Ti when using DLSS 3 in the game with the highest graphics requirements 2.5 times。

RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will go on sale on January 24 for $799。

● RTX 4080 SUPER。Equipped with more CUDA cores and the world's fastest GDDR6X video memory (VRAM) running at 23Gbps, the chip is ideal for 4K full ray tracing gaming and the most demanding provincial and urban AI applications。

RTX 4080 SUPER can provide support for 4K resolution games。In the most graphics-intensive games, it is 1 faster than RTX 3080 Ti without frame generation.4 times。The RTX 4080 SUPER reaches 836 trillion operations per second (TOPS), which is twice as fast as the RTX 3080 Ti。And the chip generates AI images faster than RTX 3080 Ti 1.7 times faster video generation 1.5 times。

RTX 4080 SUPER will go on sale on January 31 for $999。

At CES, Fisher also announced that major PC manufacturers will launch a "new wave" of RTX laptops.。Fisher said: "Thanks to the powerful RT and Tensor Core, every RTX laptop is AI-ready to deliver the best gaming and AI experience possible.。"

In addition, Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge computing at Nvidia, shared how integrating generative artificial intelligence into robotics can speed up the ability of robots from proof of concept to actual deployment.。

Talla gave an in-depth account of the growing use of generative artificial intelligence in the Nvidia robotics ecosystem, and said that robotics innovators such as Boston Dynamics and Collaborative Robots are changing the landscape of human-computer interaction.。

At this CES, Nvidia also demonstrated its capabilities in the field of autonomous driving。Nvidia said that the current electric car manufacturer Ideal Car has chosen NVIDIA DRIVE Thor central on-board computer to power its next-generation fleet。Another electric car manufacturer, GWM, Extreme Krypton and Xiaomi, has also adopted the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin platform to power its intelligent autonomous driving system.。

Nvidia shines at CES, driving its share price up。On January 8, local time, Nvidia opened high and closed at 522.$53, up more than 6%。

Recently, several Wall Street institutions listed Nvidia stock as one of their top picks for 2024。

Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya said in a note to clients that Nvidia stock was its "top pick."。Arya said Nvidia's dominance in generative AI could help it generate $100 billion in incremental free cash flow over the next two years.。He said the company could use the cash for buybacks, acquisitions and organic growth initiatives.。Arya gives Nvidia "buy" rating with $700 price target。
