China Develops All-Optical "NVidia" Chip - 100x Faster

The team created LightGen specifically for large-scale generative
AI, such as the creation of high-resolution images, 3D scenes
and videos. Typically, older photonic chips have to break them
into small "patches" to process them because they are flat.
This can result in disjointed and lower-quality images. But
LightGen works differently because it has a 3D structure with
photonic neurons stacked in layers. This is why it can process
an entire complex image at once, rather than piece by piece.

. . .

   Great ... 'perfect' fake reality 100 times faster.

   Fits in nicely with China's reality-engineering
   programs ... and more and more with 'western'
   govt/press thinking too.

   Of note, the POWER requirements are FAR less than
   with NVidia and similar silicon chips. This winds
   up being VERY important.

   What the article does NOT mention is the DENSITY of
   the calculating engines on the chip.
