Computer Chips Running at Speed of Light Boast Better Performance and Reduced Energy Use​

By Andy Corbley
Apr 9, 2025

"A tech firm has just demonstrated that a computer chip using light and the speed at which it moves for processing is capable of handling real-world computer workloads at revolutionary speeds and energy efficiency."

"Described in two papers published in the journal Nature, Lightmatter’s photonic computer chips that combine the use of light and electricity are shown to increase computational performance, while reducing energy consumption, compared with conventional electronic chips.
These photonic chips might address the growing computing demands driven by advancing artificial intelligence technology.
