After a week of major news from the world’s largest tech and automotive companies, CES 2022 has come to a close. And despite seemingly half the show going virtual thanks to the spread of the Omicron variant, we still saw plenty of exciting moments.

Didn’t have a chance to stream every press conference? Well you’re in luck, because I’m breaking down the biggest news from CES 2022.

That includes new chips that will power your gaming and work computers; future electric trucks you’ll be driving; and the 100-inch plus TVs you’ll eventually watch.

Chips galore

The global chip shortage may still be putting the screws to a slew of industries, but you wouldn’t know that from the number of new processors that debuted during CES.

Both Intel (INTC) and AMD (AMD) came into CES with all-new laptop processors, with Intel debuting its 12th-generation Core processors and AMD showing off its Ryzen 6000 line. Both companies touted their respective chips’ performance capabilities, as well as their power efficiency.

Intel in particular took shots at its former partner Apple (AAPL), which stopped using Intel chips in its laptop in favor of its own processors. In its presentation, Intel specifically called out Apple’s M1 Pro chip, saying that it falls behind the new Intel chip in terms of performance.

Not to be outdone, graphics giant Nvidia (NVDA) rolled out its latest RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti laptop graphics processors — both of which should offer some serious firepower for video editing and gaming.

TVs as far as you could ‘virtually’ see

TVs are always my favorite CES products, mostly because I end up drooling over sets that I’ll never be able to afford. This year, the big themes revolved around three display technologies: Mini-LED, MicroLED, and OLED.

Mini-LED TVs are more or less the same as standard LEDs. They just pack hundreds rather than dozens of LEDs into their backlighting. Using more LEDs allows for better control over things like light distribution across a screen, which can mean better colors in a range of on-screen lighting scenarios.

OLED (organic light-emitting diodes) TVs don’t need backlights because their pixels emit their own light. Because of that, pixels can be turned on or completely shut off, allowing for better color control — making OLED TVs superior to LED sets. LED TVs, however, are typically brighter than OLEDs.

MicroLED TVs combine the best of LCD and OLED by using millions of individually controllable pixels to create on-screen images. That means you get the brightness of LCDs and the vibrancy and balance of OLEDs. But they’re also super expensive — in the tens of thousands of dollars.
