The world’s biggest tech show returns to Las Vegas with artificial intelligence embedded in nearly every device and a renewed fight for chip leadership. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and AMD’s Lisa Su headline a week expected to spotlight AI computing, while Intel’s next-gen Panther Lake and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Elite X2 stoke a fresh PC and Windows-on-Arm battle. Laptop makers are set to flood the floor with performance-and-battery claims, lighter designs, and experiments like rollable screens, as LG, Lenovo and others jockey for differentiation. On the show floor, “physical AI” takes center stage—domestic helpers, humanoid robots, and a production glimpse of Sony Honda Mobility’s Afeela EV—alongside Samsung’s OLED push for AI-enhanced displays. Despite last year’s tariff jitters and political uncertainty, analysts frame the moment less as a bubble than the early innings of a major compute build-out.
