NVIDIA Unveils New RTX AI PCs at IFA Berlin 2024

At the IFA Berlin consumer electronics and home appliances trade show this week, NVIDIA revealed its latest RTX AI-powered PCs. These systems, equipped with RTX GPUs and neural processing units (NPUs), are designed to enhance AI capabilities in gaming, content creation, software development, and academic fields.

Accelerating AI

RTX GPUs, built with specialized AI hardware known as Tensor Cores, are capable of accelerating over 600 AI-enabled games and applications. These GPUs are now in the hands of more than 100 million users worldwide. Since the introduction of NVIDIA DLSS, AI technology has expanded beyond gaming to include livestreaming, content creation, productivity, and STEM applications.

AI involves complex mathematical operations, which CPUs handle inefficiently due to their serial processing nature. In contrast, GPUs are parallel processors that can perform multiple operations simultaneously. RTX GPUs, with hundreds of Tensor Cores, can accelerate these complex operations, making them ideal for demanding AI workloads.

Advanced Processing Power

NVIDIA's influence in the AI sector extends from data centers to over 100 million PCs globally. The GeForce RTX and NVIDIA RTX GPUs found in various devices provide up to 686 AI TOPS (trillion operations per second). These GPUs enable top-tier performance for a wide range of AI and generative AI applications.

Jon Allman, an industry analyst at Puget Systems, noted, “Many projects, especially within Windows, are built for and expect to run on NVIDIA cards. NVIDIA GPUs have an advantage in terms of raw performance.” Gamers can look forward to AI-enhanced performance with DLSS, while creators can utilize AI-accelerated tools for video and photo editing, asset generation, and more.

New RTX AI PCs Available Now

New systems from ASUS and MSI, featuring up to GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPUs, are now shipping. These systems offer up to 321 AI TOPS of performance and include power-efficient SoCs with Windows 11 AI PC capabilities. ASUS' Zephyrus G16 and ProArt P16 laptops are designed for advanced AI workflows, providing significant boosts in productivity and creativity.

The MSI Stealth A16 AI+ also features the latest GeForce RTX 40 Series Laptop GPUs, delivering exceptional performance for gaming, creation, and productivity. These laptops join hundreds of RTX AI PCs available from top manufacturers, supporting over 600 AI applications and games accelerated by RTX.
