Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Will Deliver a CES 2025 Keynote Amid RTX 5090 Rumors
At the very least, Huang is expected to discuss Nvidia’s outlook for 2025, along with the company’s recent advancements in AI hardware and software. The keynote serves as an opening act for the main CES 2025 event, which will showcase the latest PC tech and upcoming products like PC cases, all-in-one CPU coolers,gaming laptops powered by Nvidia GPUs, and much more.
The RTX 5090 is expected to bring major performance boosts overthe current generation RTX 4090, but it’s also believed to use a lot more power at 600W compared to the 4090’s 450W. If the RTX 5080’s 24 GB spec is true, it could perform closely to the RTX 4090 while coming in at a more affordable price point.

NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line GPU, the GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition, contains 16,384 CUDA Cores. It can support up to 8K gaming and allows for actual, smooth ray-tracing gameplay. The Founders Edition card is also an excellent GPU variant in terms of cooling, VRMs, and value.
