What to Expect at CES 2020edit
So, about those CPUs: Will there be CES action on the PC-processor front? (Bet on it, given the swirl of rumors around both AMD and Intel.) As for graphics: Will we see an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Super, or some kind of AMD beast-level video card to replace the Radeon VII, which decloaked at CES 2019? (Anyone’s guess, that.) How about further mainstream-priced “Navi” cards from AMD? (Inevitable in 2020, but at CES? Also a roll of the dice.) And what about Intel’s Xe dedicated GPUs? (Best to just throw the dice out the window, and see what happens.)
