CES 2025 Preview: Anticipated Tech Innovations and Industry Trends
A sneak peek into the tech innovations and industry trends expected at CES 2025, including advancements in AI, gaming hardware, and electric vehicles.
The holiday season is just kicking off, and guess what? CES 2025 chatter is already heating up. The Engadget crew is gearing up for our annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas, where tech’s biggest circus unfolds. Between back-to-back briefings and demos, our inboxes are drowning in a sea of ‘next big thing’ pitches—because everyone’s got one.
Drawing from the usual suspects and a dash of insider intuition, here’s the scoop. CES has always been a wild mix—think TVs that are smarter than us, cars that (almost) drive themselves, and gadgets that promise to make our homes and health a tad less chaotic. But 2025? AI’s gonna be the peanut butter in every tech sandwich, whether we asked for it or not.
On the gaming front, NVIDIA’s RTX 5000 series is rumored to drop jaws, with AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs hot on its heels. Translation: your games are about to look so real, you’ll forget to blink.
Then there’s the AI PC parade. With Windows 10 bowing out, manufacturers are seizing the moment to shove AI into everything. But here’s the kicker—they’ll need to show us the magic, not just the hat.
Audio’s getting a health kick, thanks to Apple’s nudge. Sennheiser, a CES regular, might just sprinkle some hearing health fairy dust on its Momentum line. Because who doesn’t want earbuds that listen out for you?
EVs are old news; the sky’s the limit now. Air taxis could finally move from ‘sci-fi’ to ‘why not?’ with Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation leading the charge. Just don’t forget to wave at the birds.
Soundbars, you ask? They’re fine-tuning the art of conversation, with LG and Samsung betting big on AI to make sure you never miss a whispered ‘I love you’ in your favorite drama.
With heavyweights like NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang and Delta’s Ed Bastian taking the stage, CES 2025 isn’t just a show—it’s a tech lover’s dream diary. Buckle up.
