At CES 2026 (Jan 6–9) in Las Vegas, AMD and Nvidia emphasized AI in their keynotes, with 3DCenter counting 'AI' 214 times in AMD's about 114-minute keynote and 136 times in Nvidia's roughly 85-minute talk; Intel said 'AI' 55 times. Gaming references were nearly absent—none in Nvidia's keynote and only three across AMD and Intel—raising concern about consumer focus and potential effects like higher memory and GPU prices and SK Hynix's rumored DRAM/NAND exit.
