China's new analog chip is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

Chinese scientists created an analog chip that performs calculations through physical circuits rather than binary code, achieving 1,000 times faster performance than top Nvidia and AMD GPUs on complex communications problems while using 100 times less energy. The chip uses resistive memory cells that process data as continuous electrical currents, combining analog computing's speed advantages with digital-level accuracy through a two-stage calculation system.
