On January 5, 2022, CES, the world’s largest consumer electronics exhibition, opened in Las Vegas. Although the world is still shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic, and many companies have announced the cancellation of exhibition plans due to the epidemic, as a wind vane of the electronic industry, CES still has a lot to watch this year, and metauniverse and automatic driving are becoming new hot spots pursued by many manufacturers.
CPU / GPU: just before this CES, NVIDIA, an image processor (GPU) giant, released geforce RTX 3090 Ti and 3050 GPU products. Among them, RTX 3090 Ti has the performance of 40 shader tflops, 78 RT tflops and 320 tensor tflops, and is equipped with gddr6x memory with 24GB and 21gbps bandwidth, which is called “new generation card emperor”; RTX 3050 is an entry-level game graphics card. In addition to performance improvement, it also continues to decentralize technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS.
NVIDIA said that 160 new laptops from mainstream manufacturers such as ASUS, HP and Dell will be delivered with RTX GPU in the future. Based on the latest generation of CPUs, these laptops have a variety of shape designs, such as dual screen, frame type, deformable and 14 inch screen. Many of them use g-sync and 1440p display.
For high-end game notebooks, NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 ti will also be supported by major notebook manufacturers, but the price will be more expensive. NVIDIA said that the recommended retail price of RTX 3080 Ti laptop is from US $2499 and that of RTX 3070 Ti laptop is from US $1499. Laptops equipped with these two new GPUs will be on sale from February 1.
Intel, an old chip company, also talked about graphics cards on CES this year. Intel announced that its GPU product “Ruixuan” (ARC) has begun to ship, and a number of products using arc independent graphics cards are expected to come out.
In terms of CPU, Intel also once again met AMD and Qualcomm and released the 12th generation core alder Lake platform, including 45W high-performance H series, 28w mainstream P series, and U series suitable for thin notebook products with power consumption between 15W and 9W. There are 28 products in three series, providing up to 14 core configurations.
Amd has launched a new ryzen 6000 series mobile processor. In addition to the 6nm process and Zen 3 + Architecture, there is also an integrated GPU with rDNA 2 architecture, which is twice as fast as the previous generation, and can play most 3A works with 1080p resolution. It has ray tracing characteristics and is more suitable for light game players.
automatic driving is still hot, and Sony will build cars
Autopilot is entering the second half of large-scale mass production and commercialization. At this year’s CES, companies upstream and downstream of the automotive industry chain exhibited the latest developed automatic driving technology.
NVIDIA recently announced that it has reached cooperation with a number of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, which will use NVIDIA’s automatic driving technology to compete with Tesla.
Mobileye, an autonomous driving subsidiary of Intel, also took out its flagship autonomous driving chip eyeq Ultra Mobileye said that eyeq ultra has a computing efficiency of 176 trillion times per second, which will compete with Tesla, NVIDIA and Qualcomm in the field of high-order computing vehicle chips.
Intel also announced that it will jointly develop a level 4 pure electric vehicle (EV) with Geely and will be listed in China before 2024.
During CES, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida announced that Sony mobile would be established. The company’s main task is to commercialize its electric vehicle business. This means that Sony will also join the car making army of technology companies.
At the scene, Sony demonstrated the prototype of its vision s concept electric vehicle, and also brought a new model Sony vision SUV prototype. Yoshida xianichiro said that the first priority of this SUV is safety. A total of 40 detection sensors are installed inside and outside the vehicle to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.
accelerate to the meta universe
AR / VR is the hot word of CES this year. Sony, Qualcomm, Panasonic and other manufacturers have made new progress in the AR / VR field.
Qualcomm announced that it is cooperating with Microsoft to develop customized chips for AR glasses, and will also integrate ar chips with Microsoft mesh, snapdragon sparks XR development platform and other software. Panasonic said that it would sell three products such as head mounted display devices and microphones supporting VR technology as soon as spring.
Sony unexpectedly announced the second generation PS VR, including four cameras and a controller for eye tracking, tracking infrared camera, supporting 4khdr, 110 degree field of view and gaze rendering, using OLED screen with a resolution of 2000 * 4000 and 90 / 120 frame rate. In addition, Sony’s original game horizon: Mountain call specially created for its PS VR2 will also be launched soon.
NVIDIA also announced that its meta universe creation tool Omniverse will be officially open to creators. It is reported that Omniverse will provide free services to individual creators, and enterprise users will have to pay an annual fee. At the same time, NVIDIA also announced cooperation with multiple technology platforms to support users to sell their own virtual content.
laptop scuffle
The new notebook computer scuffle is a fixed drama staged by CES every year. This year, Dell, ASUS, HP, Acer, Lenovo and other major manufacturers have new products.
Dell’s alien alien Alienware has launched the thinnest game book of the brand, Alienware x14. It is also the first 14 inch Laptop that supports NVIDIA’s g-sync and Optimus technology. At the same time, Alienware M17 R5 and Alienware M15 R7 have better performance.
Alienware x14 Asus has launched the fearless two in one OLED touch-screen notebook, which adopts the separated design of keyboard and body, is equipped with Intel Pentium silver N6000 processor, 4GB / 8GB lpddr4x memory and 256gb PCIe 3.0 solid state drive. Starting from 4199 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that the notebook computer industry has also joined a new player – TCL. During CES, TCL released its first laptop, TCL book 14 go, with a 14.4-inch IPS screen and a Qualcomm snapdragon 7C processor with arm architecture, starting at $349.
It is reported that LG will also release a new game OLED display and a 17 inch foldable OLED display for laptops at this ces.
TV: Sony has added cameras, and Samsung plays NFT to follow the market. Sony also announced that it has entered the era of quantum dot qd-oled panel technology. Its latest flagship a95k TV will provide wider viewing angle and rich color gamut, and the two mini LED panel TVs have added better backlight control performance.
Sony also added an external camera to its TV products for the first time, which can be purchased as an accessory. Although this is a technology that many Chinese manufacturers have installed on TV, Sony said that in addition to supporting video calls, its camera also has functions such as gesture operation and light analysis.
Samsung has released a new series of Neo qled 4K and 8K models, which support 144hz smooth display. Another high-end TV series microled model has also been updated. In 2022, it will be replaced with a “borderless” design, which is more like a picture hanging on the wall.
