Chinas lichtbasierte KI-Chips bieten bei einigen Aufgaben eine 100-mal höhere Geschwindigkeit als NVIDIA-GPUs: Bericht

Chinese scientists have allegedly developed a series of new photonic (light-based) microchips that could outperform NVIDIA’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) graphics processing units (GPUs) by over 100x in terms of speed and efficiency. According to claims, these new chips could easily beat out NVIDIA’s leading tech in some specific generative tasks, such as video production and image synthesis. This sounds impressive, but it is important to understand that they are not a direct replacement for NVIDIA-style GPUs for general-purpose usage.
