In the blink of an eye, the 2024 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is about to kick off in Las Vegas, USA. As an annual digital event of technology, CES 2024 has once again attracted a lot of attention. The official forecast is that the number of exhibitors this year will be more than that of previous editions, reaching more than 130,000, and there will be 1000+ startups and 3500+ exhibitors.
2024 is recognized as the first year of AI in the industry, and we look forward to seeing more AI applications and black technology equipment at the exhibition. In this article, we will take a forward-looking look at some of the highlights.
The first year of AI: A large number of AI-powered real smart devices are coming!
In 2023, the explosion of generative AI such as ChatGPT heralds the arrival of the AI era. The industry predicts that a large number of AI applications will emerge in 2024. For example, AI PCs with integrated AI technology can achieve a more intelligent and personalized user experience. Perhaps we will see more mobile phones and other end devices equipped with AI applications.
Secondly, of course, there are new hardware products that meet the needs of gamers, such as NVIDIA or the release of RTX 40 series SUPER graphics cards to further improve the mid-to-high-end product line. AMD may also release the new Ryzen 8000 series processors. In addition, more lighter and thinner gaming laptops will also be unveiled.
AIPC: Your personal AI assistant
We expect that Intel's December release of the Ultra processor is likely to drive more AI PCs based on the processor to be unveiled at CES.
AI PCs integrate artificial intelligence technology to enable a more intelligent and personalized user experience. At present, chip manufacturers and PC brands are very optimistic about the AI PC market.
AI PCs may become a key hotspot at this CES. We expect HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer, Asus, MSI and other well-known manufacturers to launch the first batch of AI PC products. The AI PC market has broad prospects and is believed to bring more technological innovations.
More AI-powered devices involve food, clothing, housing and transportation!
Samsung has announced that it will hold a launch event ahead of CES 2024. The theme of the conference was "Al for All". Combined with the early news, we speculate that Samsung will add more AI features to the new One UI system, such as generating wallpapers based on user input, AI-assisted image editing, etc.
In addition, Samsung is expected to highlight the new AI model Galaxy AI, and we expect that Samsung's new flagship phone will also be equipped with a large AI model on the device side, which may enable new features such as real-time multilingual phone translation.
In addition, in terms of home appliances, Samsung also announced that it will showcase new kitchen appliances, applications, and functions powered by AI technology and smart connectivity to create an ecosystem that provides a better food and kitchen experience.
Key products and features include the 2024 BESPOKE refrigerator with AI Family HubTM+ and AI Vision Inside, which supports drop-in and take-out food, and Samsung Food, which supports Anyplace induction cooktops and other feature upgrades.
According to the head of R&D of Samsung's digital home appliances, these cutting-edge technologies have improved users' eating and kitchen experience. AI features provide users with a smarter experience with food identification, expiration reminders, recipes, healthy menus, and more.
Samsung is also building a powerful AI-driven food and beverage ecosystem through the interconnection of kitchen appliances, food services, and health, bringing users a more convenient and superior kitchen experience.
Samsung will also launch a new vacuum cleaner, the Bespoke Jet Bot ComboTM, in CES2024, which is equipped with upgraded AI technology and steam cleaning features to provide an easier cleaning experience. The product uses AI object recognition technology to identify more objects and areas for more accurate navigation, and it can also sense the type of floor and automatically switch cleaning modes, such as returning to the cleaning station to heat the mop for steam cleaning when a strong stain is detected, which can effectively remove hardened stains. After cleaning, the cleaning station will provide a three-step automatic cleaning of the mop pad, high-temperature steam and drying to keep the vacuum cleaner clean and hygienic at all times. This vacuum cleaner has smart and efficient cleaning and maintenance features for a more hassle-free experience.
In addition to "clothing, food and housing", it is expected that this CES2024 will also showcase many new achievements in the field of "travel". In addition to the long-standing self-driving technology, the focus of automakers is expected to be on electrification and intelligent cockpits. It is reported that traditional car companies such as Honda will also show more relevant results, and everyone can look forward to it.
It's still a hardware feast!
NVIDIA:40系SUPER起来!
Every CES2024 year, NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are the three companies that attract the most attention, and this year will still live up to everyone's expectations. According to VideoCardz, NVIDIA will hold a launch event during CES and is expected to release RTX 40 SUPER series graphics cards to further refine its product line in the mid-to-high-end market and consolidate its leading position in the field.
JUDGING FROM THE PREVIOUS REVELATIONS, THE RTX 4080 SUPER SERIES GRAPHICS CARDS WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH MORE CUDA CORES AND LARGER CACHES, WHICH HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS SERIES OF PRODUCTS IN THE SAME SERIES. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card will have around 10% more cores, and the video memory may also be upgraded to 16GB. The RTX 4070 SUPER will have a significant increase in the number of CUDA cores by about 20%, and the power consumption will also increase slightly. With the above product line upgrades, NVIDIA's position in the high-end graphics card market may be more solid.
AMD: What about the 8000 series APU?
AMD is expected to unveil the new Ryzen 8000 series mobile processors at CES 2024. However, this may only be a small iterative upgrade. We are more bullish on the Ryzen 8000 series desktop processors, especially the 8000G series APUs.
It is reported that the new APU will integrate RDNA 3 graphics processor to meet the basic gaming needs of users, and there is no longer a need to be equipped with a discrete graphics card. It is believed that this will attract many consumers who are looking for cost-effectiveness.
High-performance notebooks: thinner, lighter, stronger!
It is reported that HP will launch a new 14-inch ultra-thin and light gaming laptop OMEN Transcend 14 at CES 2024, which may be "the world's lightest 14-inch gaming laptop". We're expecting the notebook to be downsized while still delivering excellent gaming performance.
ROG Republic of Gamers will also release a new generation of Zephyrus G series gaming laptops. This series has always been known for its thinness and lightness, and it is loved by users. Whether the new product can be further reduced and upgraded, we will wait and see.
Dell and Alienware are also preparing a new generation of laptop products for consumers. Dell has given new molds to its full range of XPS models and brings new Meteor Lake CPUs to the high-end XPS 16 along with NVIDIA RTX 40 GPUs. Alienware may launch two new products, the m16 R2 and m18 R2, or continue to provide enhanced performance while maintaining a lightweight body.
In the end, what more interesting products can the upcoming CES2024 bring us? We PConline will come to the scene to report on the exhibition situation comprehensively, and welcome interested users to continue to pay attention to our reports.
