- Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is crucial for solving complex challenges in fields like medicine, cybersecurity, and navigation.
- UK startup Graphcore has announced its latest AI hardware: the GC200 chip and the M2000 IPU Machine.
- The M2000 is the first AI computer to achieve a petaflop of processing power in a compact 'pizza box' size.
- The GC200 chip will not be sold separately and is exclusively available in the M2000 system.
- The M2000 is now shipping to early access customers and will be widely available by the end of the year.
- Graphcore's second-generation hardware, the M2000, uses four 7nm GC200 IPU chips, each with 59.4 billion transistors.
- Up to 64,000 IPUs can be interconnected to create a massive parallel processor with up to 16 exaflops of computing power.
- The system is designed to scale up as needed, supporting AI models with trillions of parameters.
