CES 2026: Nvidia, AMD, and Razer Drop Their Wildest AI Tech Yet

So CES 2026 kicked off this week, and honestly, I'm still processing everything that went down. The Vegas show floor is now open to everyone, but the real action happened during those first two days of press conferences. Nvidia, Sony, AMD - they all brought their A-game.

Here's what caught my eye. Nvidia's new announcements are getting the most attention, and for good reason. They've been teasing something big for months, and it looks like they delivered. AMD isn't sitting still either - their new chip lineup is impressive, though I'll need to see real-world benchmarks before getting too excited. But Razer? They went full weird mode with their AI stuff. I'm talking genuinely strange applications that make you wonder what their R&D team was thinking.

The Sunday Unveiled event gave us early glimpses of what was coming, but nothing prepared me for the sheer volume of AI integration across every product category. TVs, cars, kitchen appliances - if it has a power button, someone slapped AI into it. Not all of it makes sense, mind you. Some of these "AI features" feel more like checkbox items than actual improvements.

What strikes me most about this year's show is how AI has shifted from being the star attraction to just... being everywhere. It's baked into everything now, for better or worse. The real question isn't whether products have AI anymore - it's whether they're using it in ways that actually help users. From what I've seen so far, we're getting a mixed bag on that front.
