IBM is developing an analogue AI chip that might just save our GPUs for gaming

Out of the crypto-mining GPU frying pan, into the AI inferencing inferno.

IBM claims to have cooked up a new mixed-signal part-analogue chip using a combination of phase-change memory and digital circuits that it's claiming will match GPU performance when it comes to AI inferencing but do so at much greater efficiency.

One of the main existing bottlenecks for AI inferencing involves shunting data between the memory and processing units, which slows processing and costs power. As IBM explains, its chip does it differently, using phase-change memory cells to store inferencing weights as an analogue value and also perform computations.
