A recently launched new chip promises to connect Artificial Intelligence data centers (IA) over long distances. A Cisco Systems, global technology company, networks and communications, announced this Wednesday (8) o chip P200, developed to interconnect data centers with cloud computing units from companies such as Microsoft and Alibaba.
The product will be the central component of a new routing device capable of connecting data centers at distances of up to 1.600 kilometers. This innovation will allow the units to function like a computer, significantly expanding processing power. According to Reuters, Cisco's new chip is capable of doing the work it previously required 92 devices, representing a significant advance in efficiency and performance.
Energy reduction in 65%
The company's technology is the result of the brand's extensive research into the use of artificial intelligence. According to Cisco Systems, new products emerge in response to accelerated growth in demand. For that, training of AI models was carried out.
In addition to reducing the number of equipment needed, the P200 chip should decrease by up to 65% energy consumption, avoiding overload caused by the simultaneous operation of several devices and contributing to a more sustainable infrastructure. One of the main challenges, however, continues to keep data synchronized between different data centers.
Despite that, the company states that the news will expand the sector's possibilities and offer more efficient solutions in a rapidly expanding market.
