The 2025 USA International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025), which opened on January 7 local time, was as lively as ever. Global Technology companies brought their latest tech products. Chips, robots, Smart Hardware, and others became the focus of the exhibition, while AI took center stage, becoming the selling point emphasized by major tech companies.

Chip giants attract attention.

$Intel (INTC.US)$ 、 $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ and$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$All three chip giants chose to release their new products during CES.

Intel's newly appointed co-CEO Michelle Holthaus introduced new products including the Core 3 and the more powerful Core Ultra 200H, aimed at enhancing performance in two key areas: Battery life and the ability to run AI functionalities.

AMD, which followed, released many new products from the Ryzen series. AMD stated that the deployment scope for AI will further expand in 2025. Currently, $LEGENDHOLDING (03396.HK)$ 、$HP Inc (HPQ.US)$over 150 new AI laptop products have been launched by many partners including ASUS, and more AI-related products will be released into the market in the future.

NVIDIA released the new generation GeForce RTX 50 series desktop and laptop GPUs aimed at gamers, creators, and developers, and proposed a gigantic chip plan called Grace Blackwell NVLink72. This chip's performance is said to surpass that of the fastest supercomputer in the world.

Robots have become the focus.

At this CES, multiple new robots were prominently showcased. The robotic application scenarios introduced by various companies are becoming increasingly diverse and widespread, covering manufacturing, Medical Services, home cleaning, food preparation, emotional companionship, and therapeutic consulting.

South Korea's Samsung released the household Smart Home robot Ballie. Similar to many household robots, Ballie interacts with people through voice and has Smart Home interconnection control capabilities. The difference is that Ballie can project interactive information onto the ground. When users want to watch a movie, Ballie can also project the film onto the wall. This product is expected to be formally mass-produced and delivered by 2025.

Several Japanese Technology companies launched robots focusing on emotional companionship. These companion robots mostly have a fluffy appearance, can simulate various expressions, engage in emotional interactions with users, and even play a role in psychological healing.

Humanoid robots became the focal point of the event. NVIDIA brought five Chinese humanoid robots to CES, including Star1 from Starry Era, Expedition A2 from Zhiyuan Robotics, GR-2 from Fourier, H1-2 from Yushu, and Iron from Xiaopeng, participating in a remote "cloud" exhibition.

Relying on AI technology as the core driving force, the intelligence level of robots in perception, understanding, decision-making, and action has greatly improved, accurately interpreting human complex languages, gestures, and even expressions, while movements are becoming more fluid, natural, precise, and efficient, providing humans with a richer interactive experience.

The prospects for Smart Clothing are broad.

Smart Clothing products became the mainstream at this CES. Among them, smart glasses and smart rings emerged as the two main characters.

A company named Circular showcased an AI smart ring capable of performing electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements. The company explained that this product is aimed at middle-aged overseas users, who are less accepting of smartwatches than younger groups, yet have a potential need for ECG measurements.

The smart ring industry is attracting more and more attention. As early as 2015, the Finnish brand Oura launched the Oura Ring, which has now developed to its third generation, capable of collecting heart rate, respiration rate, and sleep data. Several manufacturers, including the Swiss brand VELIA, Japan's Soxai, USA's Happy Ring, and Australia's medical instruments company Opuz, have released related products. Apple is also laying out plans for smart rings and has already obtained related patents.

Recently, the smart glasses that have performed well in the A-share market are also facing fierce competition at this exhibition. Domestic AR smart glasses companies, Shanjiji and Rokid, showcased their latest products at CES. A smart glasses product from Captify can provide near real-time dialogue subtitles for people with hearing impairments.
