China claims breakthrough in analog semiconductor chips: 3,000 times faster than Nvidia

Показать описание
Scientists at Tsinghua University have developed a new chip which they claim is 3,000 times faster than Nvidia's A100 chip. By harnessing light signals and photons, instead of electricity, their chip is a quantum leap beyond in terms of efficiency.

The chip is analog, so will not be used hardware systems that require versatility and simultaneous functionality. It is ideal, however, for large markets such as wearables, image recognition, smart factories, and driver-assisted technologies.

Yellen: More OVER-CAPACITY from China 😂

These new chips were made with the greatest US help - US Sanctions and Tariffs.

China is going to surpass US for sure. There's nothing to hinder overtaking US as China has many talented scientists.

TSINGHUA is one of the top universities in China. We will soon see how Huawei, SMIC, working together to further develop this photonic chips.

Kevin, I hope you never run out of inspiration or content ideas. This channel is one of my priority go-to tasks every day.

Now the Chinese will have absolutely no reason to share this technology with the US. Another shotgun meets foot moment for the US...🤣

It has always been a matter of time for China! When it comes to finding solutions to any problems.

They were the 1st in 3 nm photonics chips last summer. They also developed their own mass produced cold chassis for quantum computing

This university is China's MIT, very prestigious, top of the heap. I’ll be watching for more on this.

As they say: "Never underestimate your enemy" And for Russia: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Now, with photonics opening up a whole new era of computing, both China and Russia will share. Will they share with the west?

This is called a Photonic chip, the idea has been around a long time but no country has successfully created one that works the way it needed to be. Not a surprise that China can make one and mass produce it. If this is true then forget the current digital chip in computers and smartphones because the photonic chip is faster, uses less energy and has less heat, and maybe much easier to make. If China has made this technology into a real product and runs better than the current best chips on the market then this is another serious blow to USA.

I think this is the first step in transferring to non-silicon chips. Using light instead of electron can eliminate the concern of heat problems.

I am usually skeptical but from tsinghua university, it is completely possible. They only need to bring in the fabrication specialist from Huawei to succeed.

The CPC is the best government in the world and the best China ever had in 5000 years
The USA is the best opposition party China ever have. This opposition party really force the best government to perform 200% of its capacity.

Chinese do not claim- they announce after these chips have been used for 2 years

What China says, would be done. When the west understand, you cant hold down 1.4 billion people again, it would be best for everyone. Chinese people have learn a lot from its mistakes and Chinese people remember its history and is very forgiven if apology is on the right place. China is not like some small nation you could bully. Also, anyone that understand how hard people work for its education, i am not surprise China would replace everything thats being sanctioned by the west

Not really surprised, as China has a lot more engineers than any other country, and continue to train more every year.

Yellen: that is overcapacity in knowledge! Expect US to investigate and roll out sanctiond and tariffs.
