A team of scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) detailed their 'Complementary-Transformer' AI chip during the recent 2024 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). The new C-Transformer chip is claimed to be the world's first ultra-low power AI accelerator chip capable of large language model (LLM) processing.
In a press release, the researchers power-shame Nvidia, claiming that the C-Transformer uses 625 times less power and is 41x smaller than the green team's A100 Tensor Core GPU. It also reveals that the Samsung fabbed chip's achievements largely stem from refined neuromorphic computing technology.
