Insane computing breakthrough China’s analogue AI chip could work 1,000 times faster than Nvidia GPU 👀 "Chinese scientists have created a superfast analogue chip that can solve complex maths problems for advanced scientific tasks and artificial intelligence while using less power than conventional computing, according to a paper published this month." "The analogue device designed by researchers from Peking University uses memory chips made of resistive materials. With future improvements, it could perform calculations at a processing rate 1,000 times faster than top digital processors, such as the Nvidia H100 graphics processing unit (GPU), according to the team." "Benchmarking shows that our analogue computing approach could offer a 1,000 times higher throughput and 100 times better energy efficiency than state of the art digital processors for the same precision," say researchers. Judging by the news from the past few months, it really feels like we’ve hit the knee of the curve.
