NVIDIA has officially unveiled its next-generation Rubin AI platform, a surprise announcement ahead of GTC. It promises massive performance uplifts over Blackwell, with new GPUs, a custom Arm CPU, and advanced networking all coming together later this year.
Acer has unveiled the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI, a gaming laptop that can be configured with Intel’s upcoming flagship Core Ultra 9 386H processor. It also offers up to an NVIDIA RTX 5070 GPU and a 16-inch OLED display.
Researchers have combined an ultrafast UV-C laser with 2D semiconductor sensors to create and detect light pulses shorter than a trillionth of a second. This breakthrough could enable new forms of communication that don’t require a direct line of sight. The technology is also compatible with scalabl
HP is making a major branding shift for its gaming division at CES. Its Omen laptops, desktops, and monitors will now carry the HyperX name, a move that seems to elevate an accessory brand over a respected PC lineage.
MSI is launching a comprehensive, white-themed ecosystem under its Pro Max brand. The new lineup includes a 27-inch QD-OLED monitor, desktops with unreleased AMD and NVIDIA hardware, and tool-less all-in-one PCs.
At CES, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon X2 Plus, a scaled-back version of its flagship laptop processor. It features either a six or ten-core CPU and an NPU for AI tasks, aiming for more affordable Copilot+ PCs.
Amazon’s Fire TV interface is getting a massive redesign that makes it more like Google TV. The update promises a 30% speed boost and launches in February on key devices.
Former Valeo LiDAR CTO Clement Nouvel has jumped ship to become CEO of Voyant Photonics. He’s betting that the company’s silicon photonics-based FMCW LiDAR, which fits on a chip, is the key to bringing 3D sensing to robots, drones, and beyond. It’s a major pivot from chasing elusive car deals to ena
LG has revived its Wallpaper TV concept at CES 2026, but this time it’s a fully realized product. The LG OLED evo W6 is just 9 millimeters thick, uses a wireless Zero Connect Box, and is powered by a new Alpha 11 AI processor.
The fundamental building block of quantum computers, the Josephson junction, has always required two superconductors. A new experiment shows it can work with just one, using common materials like iron. This could radically simplify future quantum hardware.
