China Ramps Up AI Race With U.S.
China announced on 9th Oct that it would double its computing capacity by 2025 in order to compete with the United States in artificial intelligence and supercomputing applications.
According to a plan by six government ministries, including the strong cyberspace regulator, the second-largest economy in the world aspires to have processing power equivalent to 300 exaflops. That would increase the nation’s existing 197 exaflop computing capacity.
Exaflops, sometimes known as EFLOPs, are a measure of computing power. According to Counterpoint Research, one exaflop is equivalent to the processing capability of two million common laptop computers.
According to the Chinese ministries, more processing power would be needed to enable applications in sectors like finance and education.
The development of artificial intelligence, which requires sophisticated semiconductors to analyze enormous amounts of data, is considered as being supported by expanding processing power.
