China’s ACCEL Analog Chip Promises to Outpace Industry Best in AI Acceleration for Vision Tasks

A new research paper in Nature published by Tsinghua University describes a new analog computing chip that beats Nvidia’s A100 at 3,000 times its performance and 4,000 million times higher energy efficiency at computer vision tasks. Considering the potential markets for devices such as these and the potential for further miniaturization within some aspects of ACCEL’s architecture, scaling might want to find a place for its fabrication.
