In a packed Las Vegas arena, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang stood on stage and marveled over the crisp real-time computer graphics displayed on the screen behind him. He watched as a dark-haired woman walked through ornate gilded double doors and took in the rays of light that poured in through stained glass windows.

Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang started with an announcement the next-generation Nvidia desktop GPUs, before moving on to the mobile version of the RTX 5070, showing off a laptop with an RTX 5070 inside that he says will be available for $1,299, starting when the new GPUs become available in March.
