It’s real hand wavy and sounds mostly like marketing bs, I’d be curious what the real benchmarks, specs, and prices look like. If it’s 1/3 the speed of an nvidia stack but 25% the cost and 90% cheaper to operate then obviously that’s a big win!

The article didn't seem to mention, but it may be using that new method they came up with where the data is extracted via monitoring the electrical field the memory produces rather than flowing electrons in wires. That supposedly reduced power and sped up processing.

I'm sure some of it is marketing bs. But underestimating China when it comes to stuff like this is a big mistake, imho.
