Intel officially announced its first two budget-mainstream Battlemage GPUs, the Arc B580 and Arc B570, but they're only the first salvo. The new architecture offers performance and efficiency improvements that should give Nvidia some much-needed competition, though drivers remain a potential sticking point.

Nvidia took the main keynote stage of CES 2025 to reveal its next generation of PC gaming and content creation graphics hardware for laptops...and AI makes it all possible.

In the laptop segment, the new Blackwell Max-Q technology delivers 40% better battery life and double the performance of previous generations. The RTX 5090 Laptop GPU comes with 24GB of GDDR7 memory, while the RTX 5080 model features 16GB, targeting creators and demanding workflows. The Laptop models will be available starting March.
