Large-scale photonic chiplet Taichi empowers 160-TOPS/W artificial general intelligence

Think this is about the first gen chip.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

oh they have a second gen now?

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

the researchers announced that the original Taichi chip had exceeded the energy efficiency of NVIDIA’s H100 GPU by over a thousand times, as reported by South Morning China Post (SCMP).

Now, the Taichi-II chip has further elevated this benchmark, showcasing superior performance across various scenarios.

The science.org link seems to be about 'the original' chip.

Everything does come out of China though.
