These bring the architecture powering Nvidias popular 30-series desktop cards, known as Ampere, to mobile devices.

Several specific laptops were shown, including Lenovos Legion Slim 7, Asus G15, and Alienwares m15.

The company also revealed its new Ryzen 5000 HX-Series processor for laptops.

These target a category where AMD previously lagged Intel: gaming laptops.

AMDs new hardwarefinally offers an alternative to Intel, and laptop makers have taken note.

While AMD had plenty to say about processors, it didnt counter Nvidia on graphics.

The company has a simple plan for keeping up momentum in 2021: go big.

“Theres no substitute to big screen size to replace the cinematic experience of a movie theater.”

TCL brought its first phone to Verizon, the TCL 10 5G UW, in late 2020.

Both companies used virtual showrooms designed to replicate the CES booth experience from home.

Since its a game, it includes 3D models of Asus devices instead of photos or videos.

If Asus and Acer could pull it off, then why couldnt Samsung or LG?

Perhaps well see more 3D virtual experiences at CES 2022 if in-person attendance still isnt possible.
