Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled several new technologies at CES 2025 Monday, including the GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs, which are the company’s most advanced consumer graphics processor units for gamers, creators, and developers.

The new flagship RTX 5090 GPU promises a considerable performance uplift, with 32GB of GDDR7 RAM and 21,760 CUDA cores, and is priced at $1,999. Additionally, Huang announced Project Digits, a personal AI supercomputer, and DLSS 4, among other technologies.

Nvidia claimed the new GeForce RTX 5090 flagship GPU can deliver up to twice as much relative performance for ray-tracing intensive games.

Other more modest GPUs in the series include GeForce RTX 5070 with 6,144 CUDA cores and 12GB of DDR7 RAM, priced at $549; GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with specifications between the RTX 5070 and RTX 5080, priced at $749, and GeForce RTX 5080 with specifications between the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5090, priced at $999.

A key part of the RTX 5000-series launch was the introduction of DLSS 4, the latest version of its real-time image upscaling and update to Nvidia’s deep learning super sampling technology, aimed at improving performance in games and other applications.

DLSS 4 is coming to all RTX GPUs, including the RTX 20 series that was discontinued back in 2020, but the older models aren't getting all its features.

In the new GeForce RTX 50 series models, DLSS 4 will enable Multi Frame Generation. The feature generates up to three additional frames for every traditionally rendered one and can help multiply frame rates by up to eight times more than traditional brute-force rendering. NVIDIA says the improvements brought by Multiple Frame Generation on the GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, its new $1,999 flagship GPU arriving this month, will enable 4K 240 FPS fully ray-traced gaming.

Nvidia also unveiled NVIDIA® Project DIGITS, a personal AI supercomputer that provides AI researchers, data scientists and students worldwide with access to the power of the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform.

Project DIGITS features the new NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, offering a petaflop of AI computing performance for prototyping, fine-tuning and running large AI models.

With Project DIGITS, users can develop and run inference on models using their own desktop system, then seamlessly deploy the models on accelerated cloud or data center infrastructure.

“AI will be mainstream in every application for every industry. With Project DIGITS, the Grace Blackwell Superchip comes to millions of developers,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Placing an AI supercomputer on the desks of every data scientist, AI researcher and student empowers them to engage and shape the age of AI.”

The personal supercomputer, which can handle AI models with up to 200 billion parameters, will be available in May this year at a $3,000

Huang also announced the launch of Nvidia Cosmos, a platform designed to advance the development of physical AI systems, including robots and autonomous vehicles.

The Cosmos World Foundation Model is a family of open diffusion and autoregressive transformer models for physics-aware video generation, trained on 9,000 trillion tokens from 20 million hours of real-world human interactions, environment, industrial, robotics, and driving data. This development is expected to democratize physical AI and make general robotics accessible to every developer.

Cosmos helps developers build custom world models for physical AI systems at scale, offering open world foundation models and tools for every stage of development, from data curation to training to customization.

The Cosmos World Foundation suite of open models provide developers with a simplified approach to generate massive volumes of photorealistic, physics-based synthetic data, enabling them to train and evaluate their existing models more efficiently.

The platform includes state-of-the-art world foundation models, video tokenizers, and AI-accelerated data processing pipelines, allowing developers to accelerate world model development by fine-tuning Cosmos world foundation models or building new ones from the ground up.

Cosmos WFMs can be used for physics-based simulation and synthetic data generation, physical AI model development and evaluation, and foresight and “multiverse” simulation, and are being adopted by leading robotics and automotive companies, including Uber, Waabi, and Wayve

Trump Threatens Tariffs, After EU Hit Google With $3.5B Antitrust Violations

The European Union has fined Google $3.46 billion for abusing its dominant position in the digital advertising market, accusing the company of creating inherent conflicts of interest by controlling both the buy and sell sides of online advertising. In response, US President Donald Trump has threatened to initiate a Section 301 trade investigation, which could lead to retaliatory tariffs, calling the fine "unfair" and "discriminatory" against American companies.

The European Commission announced the $3.46 billion fine on Friday, stating that Google's control of both the buy and sell sides of the online advertising market created "inherent conflicts of interest." The investigation, which began in 2021, found that Google favored its own advertising services, violating EU competition laws Regulators have ordered Google to end its "self-preferencing practices" and resolve these conflicts of interest, with the company having 60 days to propose a remedy.

The Commission noted that structural remedies, such as a forced divestiture of parts of its adtech business, remain a possibility if Google's proposals are inadequate.

President Trump reacted swiftly on Truth Social, calling the fine "unfair" and "discriminatory" towards US companies. He claimed the $3.5 billion penalty was taking money that would otherwise go to "American Investments and Jobs" and stated, "Very unfair, and the American Taxpayer will not stand for it!" Trump explicitly threatened to start a Section 301 proceeding to "nullify the unfair penalties being charged to these Taxpaying American Companies."

A Section 301 investigation paves the way for Washington to impose import taxes under a fortified legal basis through the Commerce Department, and the president has a lot of latitude to issue tariffs over unfair trade practices under the provision. Section 301 is the same trade tool Trump used to justify tariffs on China starting in 2018.

Trump also referenced a previous $17 billion fine against Apple, suggesting it should be reversed He claimed the total fines against Google from the EU now amount to $16.5 billion, including the latest penalty.

The fine marks the fourth antitrust penalty for Google from the EU The investigation focused on Google's dominance in online display advertising, where personalized banners and text ads appear on websites. The EU has previously warned that past penalties and requirements have not effectively curbed anti-competitive practices.

Google has rejected the decision, calling it "wrong" and stating it would appeal, arguing that the fine is unjustified and that the required changes would harm European businesses.

The company maintains that providing services for both ad buyers and sellers is not inherently anticompetitive and that there are more alternatives available than ever before.

The timing of Trump's threat is notable, as it comes just a day after he hosted Google's CEO Sundar Pichai, co-founder Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders at a White House dinner to discuss artififical intelligence implications with First Lady Melania Trump. This confrontation adds tension to a recently agreed-upon US-EU trade deal aimed at reducing US tariffs on EU imports.

“The European Union must stop this practice against American Companies, IMMEDIATELY!” Trump wrote. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump Rebrands US Dept. Of Defense To Dept. Of War, Restoring Its Pre-1947 Name

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday, formally changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, a move he framed as a restoration of American military strength and a rejection of what he termed "woke" policies within the Pentagon.

The rebranding, which requires congressional approval for permanence, was announced in a ceremony in the Oval Office, where Trump, flanked by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, stated the change was necessary because the U.S. "never fought to win" under the previous name, attributing past military stalemates to political correctness.

Hegseth declared the change was about "restoring the warrior ethos" and fighting "to win, not to lose," while Caine's remarks were not detailed in the provided sources.

"Really it has to do with winning. We should have won every war. We could have won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct or wokey and we just fight forever," Trump said, flanked by Hegseth and Gen. Caine. "We had it, and we won World War I, we won World War II, we won everything before, and as I said, we won everything in between," Trump added. "And we were very strong. But we never fought to win. We just didn’t fight to win. We would have won every one of those wars quickly, but they went a route that I think was probably politically correct, but not correct for our nation. So I think the Department of War sends a signal." He also stated, "We won the first world war, second world war- everything before that and in between and then we decided to go woke and changed the name to 'Department of Defense', so we're going 'Department of War'"

Hegseth on his part said, "This name changing is not just about renaming, it is about restoring. Words matter... Restoring the warrior ethos, restoring victory and clarity, restoring intentionality... The War Department is going to fight decisively, not endless conflicts. It's going to fight to win, not to lose. We are going to go on offence, not just defence; maximum lethality, not tepid legality; violent effect, not politically correct. We are going to raise up warriors, not just defenders"  He also stated, "We won World War I and World War II not with the Department of Defence but with the War Department"

The Department of War was established by President George Washington in 1789 and served as the primary agency for the U.S. Army until 1947. In that year, President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act, which merged the Department of the Army (formerly the Department of War), the Department of the Navy, and the newly created Department of the Air Force into the National Military Establishment. This entity was renamed the Department of Defense in August 1949.

The recent rebranding is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Hegseth to reverse policies deemed "woke" or politically correct, including reversing the renaming of military bases from Confederate names and renaming a Navy ship previously named after gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

The White House has already updated its social media and the Pentagon's website to reflect the new name, with the domain changing to "war.gov." The move has been met with enthusiasm from some on the right, but skepticism and scorn from others.

500th Falcon Landing: SpaceX Launches Starlink 10-57 Mission

SpaceX successfully launched the Starlink 10-57 mission on Friday, Sept. 5, deploying 28 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 1232 UTC. The Falcon 9 first stage booster(B1069) landed about 8.5 minutes after liftoff on the 'Just Read the Instructions' drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 8.5 minutes after liftoff, completing its 27th flight, and marking the 500th successful recovery of Falcon, an orbital-class rocket, a significant reusability milestone for SpaceX.

"Falcon 9 touchdown on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, completing the 500th launch and landing of an orbital class rocket," SpaceX wrote on X.

B1069 had previously flown on missions including CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, and 22 prior Starlink missions. This landing was the 135th recovery for the "Just Read the Instructions" drone ship.

The Falcon 9 upper stage deployed the 28 satellites into a north-easterly trajectory in low Earth orbit(LEO), about one hour and four minutes after launch.

Starlink 10-57 was the 111th Falcon 9 mission for SpaceX in 2025 out of a total of 529 since 2010. The company's broadband megaconstellation now numbers more than 8,370 active satellites.
