Brelyon, an MIT spin-off innovating in computational displays, announced today at CES a new member of its Ultra Reality display line - a more compact, lower-priced model for 2026 called Ultra Reality Mini. This model features not only a headset-free immersive virtual image, but also a set of headphone-free acoustic wings that dampen ambient sound. The display creates vivid 55" images at 1 meter of optical depth, virtually rendered behind the monitor's 16" aperture. The result is an expansive 86° field of view with a taller, cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio. Demos of Ultra Reality Mini are available at Brelyon's CES Booth at LVCC Central Hall Booth 14454.

Barmak Heshmat, Brelyon CEO, comments on this visual experience: "The 2026 model of Ultra Reality Mini is a product that balances immersion with size and cost. It's designed to compress the experience of a 55" monitor - literally the biggest monitor money can buy today - into a 16" aperture. We're pushing the boundaries of the display industry, marrying headset-like immersion with monitor-like comfort and fidelity. People dislike wearing stuff on their face, but that doesn't signal the end of virtual reality. We are realizing a world where visual and audio immersion is achieved without taxing or even touching the user."

Aurzen at the 2026 International CES showcased the ZIP Cyber Edition, a fascinating new pocket-sized projector that can mirror AirLink, mainly from iPhones. This projector is roughly the size of a thick wallet that folds out along two hinges into a Z-shape. The top arm contains the actual projection optics, the middle and bottom halves contain its batteries. Together, the ZIP Cyber Edition is able to throw your iPhone's display head onto a 32-inch projection, which is enough for a fairly capable viewing experience, such as watching movies off your streaming apps.

At CES 2026, UGREEN showcased its latest models in the NASync line, the iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro. The company envisions these NAS devices as private cloud appliances for creators, small studios, and home offices. Both models are built around Intel Core Ultra processors and can be equipped with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5x memory and up to 196 TB of pooled storage. Networking is a key focus, featuring dual 10 GbE ports that support link aggregation for up to 20 Gbps of bandwidth. This translates to a theoretical maximum of nearly 2,500 MB/s and provides redundancy if one link fails. The Pro model includes an OCuLink connector and an 8K HDMI output, allowing users to attach an external GPU for local AI acceleration or compute workloads, connect high-speed peripherals, and drive high-resolution monitoring for more demanding projects.

What really distinguishes these units from many consumer NAS boxes is the software layer that runs entirely on the device. A local large language model—Uliya AI Chat—processes natural language queries using a private knowledge base stored offline on the device. No internet connectivity is required, and all AI inferencing is conducted locally with RAG and other data indexing methods. The system can index faces, objects, scenes, and text for image recognition, allowing users to search with simple phrases. The AI Album can retrieve relevant photos based on straightforward descriptions. Audio recordings can be transcribed, translated, and summarized on the device, while an AI file organizer automatically sorts incoming files by type, date, or name. Users can also upload example images to train the system to recognize unique objects.

AMD at the 2026 International CES showed off its Ryzen AI Halo box, which is a first-party compact desktop based on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" processors. It turns out that this product isn't being touted as just a consumer desktop, but rather a fully-fledged AI development platform rivaling NVIDIA's DGX Spark. While not exactly competing with the DGX Spark in compute power, the box is meant for development of consumer AI applications.

The box packs a full-featured Ryzen AI Max 395+ with a 16-core/32-thread "Zen 5" CPU, a large iGPU powered by the RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture, featuring 40 compute units, and a Microsoft Copilot+ ready NPU with 50 TOPS, held together with up to 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory, support for Windows 11 and Linux, and pre-loaded AI models that are optimized for the hardware of this box. AMD innovated a cooling solution for the "Strix Halo" SoC featuring a baseplate, a network of direct-touch flat heatpipes, an aluminium channel heatsink, and two lateral airflow blowers. AMD says that the Ryzen AI Halo AI developer platform will be available from Q2 2026, and pricing will be shared closer to launch.

AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su at the company's 2026 International CES event held up the next generation EPYC "Venice" enterprise processor driving the company's 2026 "Helios" AI racks powered by AMD MI455X AI GPUs. Each node in the rack features four MI455X GPUs, and one EPYC "Venice" processor with a 256-core/512-thread configuration. The package features a significantly different layout of chiplets compared to current EPYC chips. It sees two slender, centralized server I/O dies built on the 4 nm node, which are flanked on either sides by no more than eight CCDs, each built on the 2 nm foundry node, and packing 32 "Zen 6" cores.

At this point we don't know if these are full-sized "Zen 6" cores that can sustain high clock speeds, or compacted "Zen 6c" cores that feature identical ISA and IPC, but at lower maximum clock speeds. Each "Venice" package features a 16-channel DDR5 memory interface (32 sub-channels), which explains why AMD probably needed to disaggregate the sIOD into two chips that are joined at the hip using high-speed switching fabric. AMD is also expected to significantly increase the PCIe and CXL lane counts of "Venice" over the current-generation to support those four AI GPUs, DPUs, and 800G NICs.

ViewSonic showcased at CES 2026 new monitors dedicated to gamers and professionals, including a dual 14-inch portable model. For gamers, the VX2730D-4K is a 27-inch display that can switch between 4K at 144 Hz and Full HD at 288 Hz, with a 0.5 ms response time, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, and HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs. It is expected to sell for $339.99. ViewSonic also showed the VX2738-2K-OLED, a 27-inch QD-OLED monitor with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, 240 Hz refresh rate, and up to 0.03 ms response time, priced at $499.99.

On the portable side, the VG1457 is a dual 14-inch portable monitor setup with 1920 x 1200 resolution panels running at 60 Hz. It weighs under 1.3 kg, connects over USB-C, supports multiple viewing modes, and is priced at $349.99.

AMD today expanded its Ryzen AI MAX "Strix Halo" line of super-APUs with two new processor models, the Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and Ryzen AI Max+ 388. Both are based on the existing "Strix Halo" package, which combines a 16-core/32-thread "Zen 5" CPU based on standard "Zen 5" CCDs, with a large I/O die featuring a powerful iGPU based on RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture that has 40 compute units (2,560 stream processors), a Copilot+ ready NPU with 50 TOPS on tap, and a unified 256-bit LPDDR5X memory interface.

The Ryzen AI Max+ 392 is configured with a 12-core/24-thread CPU using two CCDs, clock speeds of 3.20 GHz base and 5.00 GHz maximum boost, a full-featured iGPU with all 40 CU enabled, a 50 TOPS NPU, and a configurable TDP range of 45 W to 120 W. Then there's the Ryzen AI Max+ 388, featuring an 8-core/16-thread CPU using a single CCD, which ticks at 3.60 GHz base with 5.00 GHz boost, again, the fully unlocked iGPU with all 40 CU enabled, the 50 TOPS NPU, and 45 W to 120 W cTDP. The key difference with these two SKUs over the others in the lineup within their brand extension, is the focus on increased graphics power at the expense of CPU core count, which should make these formidable gaming chips at lower price-points.

AMD today launched the Ryzen 7 9850X3D desktop processor. This 8-core/16-thread processor is powered by the "Zen 5" microarchitecture supercharged with 3D V-Cache technology, and is essentially a speed-increase over the current 9800X3D. The chip comes with a base frequency of 4.70 GHz, and maximum boost frequency of 5.60 GHz, a significant increase over the 4.70 GHz base and 5.20 GHz maximum boost of the 9800X3D. This 400 MHz increase in maximum boost frequency should increase boost frequency residency across thread counts. The chip is configured with 120 W TDP. The 3rd Gen 3D V-Cache technology sees the 64 MB L3D located below the 8-core CCD, as opposed to being above it in the past two generations, which should let the CCD enjoy similar thermal characteristics to non-X3D Ryzen processors, letting them sustain higher boost frequencies and overclocking capabilities. AMD said retail availability of the 9850X3D should commence in Q1 2026, the company didn't reveal pricing.

AMD announced in its CES media briefing that its upcoming Socket AM5 desktop APUs that succeed the Ryzen 8000G series will be branded under the Ryzen AI 400 series, in line with its new Ryzen AI 400 series mobile processors that these share the underlying silicon with. While the company did not release specifics such as processor models, it dropped enough material to show that Ryzen AI 400 series desktop APUs will be based on the same 4 nm "Gorgon Point" monolithic silicon as the mobile Ryzen AI 400 series. These will be the world's first socketed desktop processors with an NPU that meets Microsoft Copilot+ hardware requirements. Until now, only mobile-on-desktop (MoD) platforms offered Copilot+, by using mobile processors in desktop form-factors such as mini PCs and AIOs.

The "Gorgon Point" silicon is physically identical to "Strix Point," with the same exact IP blocks, but AMD has refreshed its power management logic to carve out increased clock speeds across its three main logic components, the CPU, the iGPU, and the NPU. The CPU now boosts up to 5.20 GHz for its "Zen 5" cores, while the iGPU engine clock now goes up to 3.10 GHz. The NPU clock is increased, too, and now offers a throughput of 60 TOPS over the 55 TOPS of "Strix Point." AMD did not disclose the processor models of its Socket AM5 Ryzen AI 400 series chips, but these could be a handful of SKUs (2-3 in the consumer segment), with one maxed-out SKU that has all 12 CPU cores (4x Z5 + 8x Z5c), iGPU with all 16 CU, and 60 TOPS NPU; followed by another SKU that comes with a 10-core/20-thread CPU, 12 iGPU CU, and a 55 TOPS NPU; and a mid-range chip with 8-core/16-thread CPU, 8 or 12 iGPU compute units, and a 50 TOPS NPU. All three chips could come with a TDP of 65 W, with PPT nearing the 100 W-mark.

AMD at the 2026 International CES announced the new Ryzen AI 400 series "Gorgon Point" mobile processors powering the company's client processor lineup through 2026. These chips are based on the new 4 nm "Gorgon Point" silicon that is a refresh of the current "Strix Point" monolithic processor supporting higher clock speeds across its various compute components, and updates to its power management. The processor implements the "Zen 5" microarchitecture, and uses a dual-CCX CPU with four full-sized "Zen 5" cores sharing a 16 MB L3 cache, and eight compact "Zen 5c" cores sharing an 8 MB L3 cache. The "Zen 5" cores boost up to 5.20 GHz, while the iGPU goes up to 3.10 GHz engine clock. The chip features an iGPU based on the RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture with 16 compute units (CU). Both the CPU and iGPU feature improved boost residency over "Strix Point."

Besides the CPU and iGPU, the integrated NPU also gets a performance uplift, with increased NPU clock speeds enabling a peak throughput of 60 TOPS, up from 55 TOPS on Ryzen AI 300 series processors. AMD has also given the processor a feature-packed ROCm software stack, so client AI software can leverage this 60 TOPS NPU and the AI acceleration capabilities of the iGPU and CPU. Lastly, AMD has updated the integrated memory controllers, giving them native support for LPDDR5X 8533 MT/s memory speeds, an increase from the 8000 MT/s that "Strix Point" natively supports. Despite these improvements, "Gorgon Point" remains mostly similar to "Strix Point" at a physical level, and so AMD took the opportunity to refresh the way the various Ryzen AI 400 series processor models are segmented from this silicon, giving each SKU an improvement over its Ryzen AI 300 series predecessor. This could be anything from CPU clock speeds, to CPU core-count, to iGPU CU count, and NPU throughput.

At the start of CES 2026, OWC announced several new Thunderbolt 5 products, led by the Envoy Ultra, now available in an 8 TB capacity. The portable SSD delivers over 6,000 MB/s and is up to twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 solutions. It features a rugged, IP67-rated enclosure with shock, dust, and water resistance, plus a built-in Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) cable. The 8 TB model is priced at $1,699.99. OWC also updated its ThunderBlade X12 production shuttle RAID, doubling maximum capacity to 192 TB using twelve 16 TB NVMe M.2 SSDs. The ThunderBlade X12 reaches up to 6,600 MB/s peak and 5,990 MB/s sustained write speeds, making it the first Thunderbolt 5 RAID shuttle to offer this capacity in a compact form factor.

This feature two independent 10 GbE Ethernet ports, a front-facing 2.5 GbE port, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, and four USB 10 Gb/s ports, all housed in a fanless aluminium enclosure. Finally, OWC showcased the recently announced fully certified 2-meter Thunderbolt 5 cable supporting up to 80 Gb/s data transfer, 120 Gb/s for display workloads, up to 240 W power delivery, and compatibility with Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5, USB4, and USB-C devices.

At the start of the CES 2026, Sandisk shocked everyone with the rebranding of the WD_Black SSD family into a new brand called Sandisk Optimus. The new Sandisk Optimus drive family brings the old trusted WD_BLACK SSD family under a single name. The regular Optimus drives replace WD_BLUE, while the Optimus GX replaces WD_BLACK SN7100 NVMe SSD. For the Optimus GX PRO, Sandisk rebranded WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe SSD, now offering PCIe 5.0 NVM M.2 SSDs with 14.9 GB/s read and 14 GB/s write speeds in 2 TB and 4 TB capacities. These name tags are reminiscent of the older WD SSDs, and carry the same part numbers to better resonate with the gaming community who has grown found of the WD SSDs for great value with WD_BLUE and performance with WD_BLACK. Pictured below are the newly rebranded SSDs, which feature a black and red color theme across the lineup.

XGIMI introduced its latest products at CES 2026, featuring the Titan Noir Max projector and a new pair of MemoMind AI glasses. The projector is a taller, squarer version of last year's Titan, with a grille-like pattern on the front for a more substantial look. XGIMI is marketing it as a versatile device for both home theater enthusiasts and professional users, thanks to a dynamic iris system that enhances contrast to 10,000:1 and a redesigned chip architecture that manages more light power without overheating. However, the actual brightness remains unspecified, as XGIMI has not provided ANSI lumen figures, despite claiming the new thermal system supports sustained brightness. The company also withheld details on color accuracy, even though it promises "color-critical" performance for studio work. Pricing is still unknown, but since the previous Titan launched at $3,999, the Max is expected to be in a similar premium range when pre-orders begin in Q1 2026.

At the 2026 International CES, Japanese electronics maker EPSON showcased the first projector powered by Google TV and Gemini AI, featuring a unique form factor. On the show floor, we observed two versions: the Lifestudio Flex Plus Portable Lifestyle and the Lifestudio Grand 4K PRO-UHD Ultra Short Throw Laser projector. The first model uses a 3-Chip 3LCD Triple Core Engine to deliver 1,000 lumens of both color and white brightness. Built-in Google TV provides direct streaming access without the need for extra hardware. Gaming features include an Auto Low Latency Mode that activates when consoles are connected. Connectivity options include HDMI and a USB-C port for video and power delivery. Users can control the projector and adjust settings through the Epson Projection Studio App. The Lifestudio Flex Plus Portable Lifestyle is priced at $999.99 and comes with a two-year warranty.

After much anticipation, Intel has finally unveiled its "Panther Lake" Core Ultra Series 3 mobile processors, built on the 18A node. This new mobile platform aims to maximize performance across various areas, with a significant focus on integrated Arc graphics. The "Panther Lake" features a new Arc B390 GPU with 12 Xe cores, delivering up to 77% more performance compared to the previous generation "Lunar Lake" Arc 140V iGPU. Intel's performance claims are supported by comparisons to non-Intel graphics, such as the AMD Radeon 890M. In these comparisons, Intel's solution outperforms AMD's "Strix Point" iGPU by about 73% with upscaling technologies and is 82% faster at native resolution. For handheld devices relying on iGPU performance, Intel's "Panther Lake" appears to be the leader in gaming, at least for the time being.

Interestingly, Intel is also developing a separate handheld-focused "Panther Lake" SoC, likely featuring a new Arc B SKU, rumored to be named Arc B380. This version is expected to be more power-efficient, possibly through special binning of the dies, maintaining the full 12 Xe cores configuration at slightly reduced clock speeds to achieve similar performance with a much lower TDP. According to Intel, many handheld manufacturers, including Acer, MSI, and GDP, are showing interest in this SoC for their designs. However, we can also expect some full laptop SoCs to be used in handheld devices as well. Intel also claims that the new Arc B390 is comparable to NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4050 laptop, which is a discrete chip.

NVIDIA today announced major updates to its GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform that turns practically any screen with a game controller into a powerful gaming platform with graphics akin to PCs. The company brought NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 performance tier to GeForce NOW in 2025, priced at $19.99 a month to be able to play on any device, at resolutions of up to 5K @ 120 FPS or 1080p @ 360 FPS, with NVIDIA Reflex low latency, and Cinematic quality streaming, with a game library spanning over 4,000. In 2026, NVIDIA is announcing a handful interesting updates.

Perhaps the biggest GeForce NOW update today is support for exotic game controller types, such as slight control, racing wheels, and newer kinds of simulator hardware. Your client device should be able to recognize the controller and let GeForce NOW use it, so you can use the controller for playing titles such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, etc. Next up, NVIDIA announced the addition of more AAA games to GeForce NOW, including Resident Evil Reqium, 007 First Light, Crimson Desert, and Active Matter.

NVIDIA today announced updated G-SYNC Pulsar display standard for fast-paced competitive e-sports gaming. The standard builds on NVIDIA's proven G-SYNC variable refresh-rate technology that ensures that the display and GPU are in perfect sync with output framerates and display refresh-rates, to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. The new G-SYNC Pulsar spec calls for a standardized 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) gaming display with refresh rate of 360 Hz on the display's side, and the capability of over 1000 Hz perceived motion clarity that works at the game rendering level to eliminate motion blur. In the example shown below, G-SYNC Pulsar in "Counter Strike 2" is shown improving effective motion clarity by 4 times.

The other new standard being introduced today is Ambient Adaptive Technology. Similar to your smartphone, which uses its front-camera to gauge ambient lighting conditions to dynamically adjust display and color temperature, this feature relies on an optical sensor on the display to analyze ambient lighting conditions, and respond to broad daylight with 100% brightness, cooler white colors (higher color temperatures); and nighttime with 36% brightness, and warmer colors (lower color temps). At CES, popular gaming monitor manufacturers are announcing their G-SYNC Pulsar capable monitors, which include Acer Predator XB273U F5, AOC AGON Pro AG276QSG2, ASUS ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV, and MSI MPG 272QRF X36. These displays will be available from tomorrow (January 7), with prices starting at $599.

NVIDIA today announced the new DLSS 4.5 technology at its 2026 International CES media event, to improve gaming performance and image quality, bringing higher resolutions and refresh rates within reach of PC gamers. DLSS 4.5 is a major update over DLSS 4 that debuted in 2024 with the GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" graphics cards. It is designed to bring games with performance-intensive path tracing effects to a broader audience, with the fastest RTX 50-series GPU models being able to play path-traced games at 4K Ultra HD with 240 Hz.

At the heart of the DLSS 4.5 update are two key announcements—2nd Generation Super Resolution Transformer, and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation. One of the defining features of DLSS 4 is its high-quality upscaler, which replaced convolutional neural network (CNN) based AI models with a newer Transformer-based model, resulting in a significant improvement in image quality. Now, at CES, NVIDIA announced that they have updated their algorithm with an even newer Transformer-based model that has been trained on a much larger dataset. This 2nd Gen Transformer was developed using five times the compute power that went into the first-gen DLSS 4 Transformer upscaler, and leverages the FP8 data format that's supported by the Tensor cores of GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" and 50-series "Blackwell" GPUs. DLSS 4.5 is still supported on older 30-series "Ampere" and 20-series "Turing" GPUs, however these generations lack FP8 acceleration, so the performance uplift over native wouldn't be as significant as with newer GPUs.

MSI has officially unveiled the specifications of its new AI-centric mini PC line-up that is being debuted at CES 2026. The new line-up offers something for everyone—as long as you're looking to run local LLMs or similar AI workloads—whether you're looking for a hyper-compact x86 system powered by AMD's RDNA 3.5, a more powerful NVIDIA RTX 5070, or something more exotic with NVIDIA's new Arm-based DGX Spark platform.

Perhaps the most interesting mini PC that MSI is showing off at CES is the EdgeXpert, which is targeted at AI developers and is built on NVIDIA's DGX Spark platform. In the EdgeXpert, which was announced earlier this year, that means 20 Arm CPU cores and an AI Blackwell GPU as well as NVIDIA's NVLink C2C tech, which claims to offer "five times the bandwidth of PCIe 5.0," for improved data transfer and sharing between the CPU and GPU. According to MSI, the EdgeXpert is capable of a petaFLOP of AI performance. It also features 128 GB of LPDDR5x unified system memory and a vapor chamber cooling system.
