The U.S.-China Chip Ban, Explained

Cars That Think

China has yet to respond—but Beijing has multiple options in their arsenal. Nvidia’s A100 , for comparison, is capable of over 600 teraflops and matches the 600 Gbps interconnect speed. Nvidia has already responded by introducing a China-specific chip, the A800, which appears to be a modified A100 cut down to meet the requirements.

Electra raises $85M to advance Low-Temperature Iron process; electrochemical refining at 60?C

Green Car Congress

By comparison, 69% of steel today is made at approximately 1,600 degrees Celsius (2,912 degrees Fahrenheit) using coal, emitting about two tons of carbon dioxide for every ton of steel produced. If the steel industry were a country, its carbon emissions would rank third in the world behind China and the United States.
