Five minutes instead of 10 septillion years: Google unveils high-speed chip

Google has announced that it has created a new generation chip. It is able to perform tasks that traditional supercomputers cannot. This was reported by The Guardian, according to UNN.

Details

The new Willow chip is no bigger than a candy bar. Its area is only 4 square centimeters, but it has a speed that did not exist before. Willow takes just five minutes to complete a task that the world's fastest traditional computer could handle in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

That's 10 septillion years-a number that far exceeds the age of the universe and forces scientists behind the latest breakthrough in quantum computing to resort to a completely non-technical term: "amazing.

It is expected that the presented chip will give an impetus to the creation of new drugs, significantly speeding up the experimental phase of development.

The developers claim that Willow is less error-prone than previous versions, and can expand the potential of the already rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence.

Quantum computing, which uses the discovery that matter can exist in multiple states simultaneously, is predicted to be able to perform much larger calculations than previously possible, and thus accelerate the creation of fusion reactors and increase the impact of artificial intelligence, especially in medical science. For example, it could allow MRI scans to be read at the atomic level, opening up new caches of data about human bodies and diseases for processing by artificial intelligence, Google says.
