But at what cost
incredible things are happening in China
China is leaving crackers in the dust.
When we have our revolution I hope we'll be able to rebuild our advanced economy with Chinese technology!
everybody is saying it
lol I love this shit with the AI bubble in the west china's just gonna be printing money until it collapses
This might be needed to understand how China makes carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the 1st place:

oh that's fascinating
1 TOPS per watt seems more or less in line with what you can get out of an nvidia 4090. In fact with the right kind of data it looks like they're pushing 2-3 TOPS per watt these days. Int8 with 50% sparsity can do 1.3 POPS (1300 TOPS) and the 4090 has a maximum power draw of 450 watts so that works out to about 3 TOPS per watt.
