Their single focus is on speeding up neural networks. They haven't shipped yet, but say end of year. Expect it to be hugely expensive. Interesting, but don't expect this to replace your graphics card anytime soon.

Graphene will replace Silicon at far smaller scale than photonics.

An actual graphics card would be a pipe dream, if they had a GPU ready and shipping drivers would still suck for years no matter what, this is what Intel is going through right now.

Is this just a normal computer with some transistors replaced with phototransistors?

The easiest form of genocide is when the victims murder or castrate their own kids.

Pretty interesting. I wonder how this will be used in conjunction with quantum computing in the future.
