In a stunning development, researchers at Peking University in China have introduced a groundbreaking analog chip that could completely disrupt the global semiconductor industry. Unlike traditional digital chips that use binary code, this new chip utilizes resistive random-access memory (RRAM) to process data as continuous electrical signals—dramatically boosting performance while slashing energy usage. Tests show the chip is up to 1,000 times faster than NVIDIA’s flagship H100 GPU and consumes 100 times less power.
What’s more, this chip solves a century-old problem of precision in analog computing and was fabricated using standard commercial methods—making it viable for large-scale deployment. The implications are massive: AI workloads, 6G communications, and advanced computing could all be transformed by this technology.
