Many big tech companies and news outlets may have opted not to actually go to Las Vegas for the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show, but the show is still going on both in-person and virtually. So expect a flood of announcements over the next few days.

Kicking things off, the Consumer Technology Association has announced a number of CES 2022 Innovation Awards honorees… including a bunch of products that haven’t actually been announced yet. There aren’t many details on the awards pages, but now we have confirmation that AMD’s Ryzen 6000 Mobile chips are launching this week (with next-gen graphics and support for DDR5 memory), and Lenovo’s previously-leaked dual-screen ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 laptop is also coming (we also have new details on the sizes of its two screens).

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
