Just call it Grace-Hopper or whatever. If nV had not used the word superchip then it would have had a much harder time grabbing mindshare. Now every fan boie on the planet is running around with “superchip, nV has a super chip”, and the accountants feel better betting money on it relatively untested. It’s the most transparent marketing manipulation-speak by nV. Journos should not play along.

Superchip means a dual-chip module across two sockets. I don’t have a better word for it. And at some point, either others will do this or Nvidia will stop and it becomes a non-problem.

It is impressive but it is not supernot, especially when compared to AMD’s APU Mi300 thing.

It’s a more powerful variant of Tianhe-2 and is based in Guangzhou. Read this news https://www.21jingji.com/article/20231207/herald/d5b36913e711818127194826c02fddaf.html

This news report says Tianhe Xingyi’s performance is 5x that of Xinghe-2 and is built to support industrial applications. I find it interesting that the video shows a garment factory using the super computer to manage its inventory. Wow! Who says China is deprived of compute power due to the sanctions?

Depends more on priorities, and allocation of tax money of course. Sanctions do come back to bite, and the need for ever increasing compute power, for what ever the reason will continue, even if to be at the top of the chart……. Super supremacy is a big thing. Maybe we should get back to climate change and workout how to fix it.

How long have you had this symptom? Go to the hospital quickly to see if it can be saved.

Just look at their falsified GDP figures over at least the last decade, and the admission they “over counted” their population by 100,000,000. This coming from the party who NEVER admits errors. They’ve simply butchered that many people. China is the most prideful, insecure nation ever. They object to criticism from folks in the Free World, which isn’t their prerogative. Every time a significant technical achievement is announced through peer review, CC propaganda claims they did it first and better. I’ve studied CCP history and polity for over 30 years as a professional analyst. The CCP and any organization in China simply cannot be believed.
