As expected, the fair was dominated by AI and its rapid development. The addition of AI in products seems almost a prerequisite to attract attention. Samsung and LG impressed with their digital pets, such as Ballie and LG AI Robot, which promise to become interactive members of the household. Despite their hefty price tags of over $1000 each, this is likely just the beginning of what we'll see more of in the future.
Compliq's eyes were particularly drawn to AMD's new products. AMD Ryzen 8000G series, based on the Zen 4 architecture. This series promises a significant increase in performance for gaming, entertainment and creative work. The top model 8700G impresses with its eight cores and Radeon 780M graphics. AMD is also following the AI trend by introducing a dedicated AI chip, which we look forward to exploring more.
For the professional market, Ryzen Threadripper continues to be the obvious choice for processor-intensive tasks. AMD threddripper 7960x is the choice for those who want to buy the best AI processor today.
CES is a good fair to showcase new innovative computer solutions from leading manufacturers.
Lenovo continues to be innovative with its Yoga series and this year's edition features a laptop with dual screens that you can position vertically with a smart keyboard that either attaches to the lower screen with magnets or is used as an external keyboard. This gives a desktop feeling when you are sitting at the workplace and a traditional laptop in your meeting.
Intel and their edition of new processors
All major manufacturers follow the tradition of upgrading their models with the latest from Intel and AMD. Intel launched interesting news when they introduced their 14th generation of processors. On the desktop side, the new Core i9-14900HX is the flagship with its 32 cores and 5.8GHz as turbo, which gives AMD a good match in the gaming segment. Intel also releases a new set for laptops that are both more powerful and more energy efficient. The new generation will also support Thunderbolt 5 and 4 as well as WiFi standard 6E.
We at Compliq look forward to these new processors reaching our warehouse and becoming available to you, our customers. You can trust that we will have the latest processors available as soon as they are released.
