UK scientists to tackle AI's surging energy costs with atom-thin semiconductors

Photonics is the way we can achieve greater speed at lower power consumption.

Making processors more compact will reduce consumption between sections within the same processor, but ignores that a lot of the cost comes from communicating between different processors and to and from volatile and nonvolatile storage.

Brits stepping up?! Nice…the 21st century has been waiting for these fucking guys to be scientifically relevant.
