Futurology: The global demand for AI computing is causing data centers to guzzle electricity like dorm rooms guzzling beer, but researchers at the University of Minnesota may have a highly innovative solution to curb AI’s growing power demands with a revolutionary new device that promises far greater energy efficiency. Researchers have designed a new “computational random access memory” (CRAM) prototype chip that could reduce the energy demands of AI applications by more than 1,000 times compared to current methods, with one simulation showing a staggering 2,500 times energy savings with the CRAM technology. Traditional computing relies on the decades-old von…
