China develops analog RRAM chip 1,000 times faster than Nvidia H100 GPU; uses 100 times less energy for AI, wireless tasks by processing data on physical circuits instead of binary code

China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

(Image credit: Narumon Bowonkitwanchai/Getty Images) Scientists in China have developed a new chip, with a twist: it's analog, meaning it performs calculations on its own physical circuits rather than via the binary 1s and 0s of standard digital processors.What’s more, its creators say the new chip is capable of outperforming top-end graphics processing units (GPUs) from Nvidia and AMD by as much as 1,000 times.When put to work on complex communications problems — including matrix inversion prob...
