Good News For Alibaba - ACCEL Chip Outshines Nvidia's AI Chips, China Claims - Alibaba Gr Hldgs (NYSE:BABA), NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA)

Chinese scientists, in collaboration with China’s Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, have developed a new chip that outperforms current high-performance

This innovative chip, known as the All-Analogue Chip Combining Electronics and Light (ACCEL), is light-based and utilizes photons for computing and data transmission, offering faster speeds and higher energy efficiency.

In laboratory tests, the ACCEL chip achieved a computing speed of 4.6 PFLOPS, making it 3,000 times faster than one of the most widely used commercial AI chips, Nvidia’s A100.

Furthermore, the ACCEL chip’s energy consumption is 4 million times lower than that of the A100.


This is amazing!!!

3000 times faster than the fastest chip today with 4,000,000 times lower energy consumption.

I can't imagine using a smartphone that is able to play Cyberpunk 2077 and I just need to recharge it once a month!

I would be in awe if this scenario happens instead: 30-40 years from now, your smart phone CPU has the same computing power as today's exascale supercomputer. The likelihood of that happening is slim to nil. BUT I would be completely in awe if that really happens!

That is quite literally possible. The premium smartphones today are faster than mainframe computers of 1970's.
