New Swinburne spinout aims to cut AI data centres' energy use with 'breakthrough' chip
Swinburne University of Technology says a new spinout is working on a chip intended to move more information through data centres while using less energy.
Why it matters: Swinburne University of Technology's new spinout is targeting data-centre energy use, which the university calls one of AI's biggest infrastructure challenges.
Swinburne University of Technology has announced a new spinout that it says will use a chip to reduce the energy demands of AI.
According to the university, the spinout is seeking to move more information through data centres while using less energy.
Swinburne describes this as one of AI's biggest infrastructure challenges and calls the chip a breakthrough.
