The only opinion I got from the QCOM board is that it's fake.
I saw YT comments to that effect too. That always goes on with topics on the internet. But I put more weight to the response I got from Grok (AKA G.R.Ok).

Perhaps also, QCOM is based on digital tech so comments from investors might come from a built-in bias against analog tech burgeoning like a young, hungry, alpha predator onto the scene.

I hope it's not fake but for another reason: I don't like that AI takes such enormous amounts of power to run. And since the tech is relatively new I don't see its use coming to an end but rather will continue to grow a lot and quickly. We need for it to have much better efficiencies, both in speed and energy use.

  • Peking University: Researchers developed an analog chip using RRAM that reportedly offers up to 1,000 times higher throughput and 100 times better energy efficiency compared to leading digital processors for certain tasks.
Googled “AI analog processing - please include recent advances in China”

The above is part of the (rather extensive) reply. That’s literally the story in the video. It’s all true, it seems.

Had to ask to include China - without a prompt, it was simply not mentioned.
