Verify grandiose/marketing claims[edit]

First, briefly, this is my first time attempting to contribute so I apologize if I'm doing this wrong.

Several of the claims in this article are overblown and sound as if they're taken from the company's own marketing. One that particularly stands out, "delivering up to 1 exaFLOPS of AI computing power, or at least one quintillion (1018) operations per second", just barely avoids being a bold-faced lie. That would put it on par with the world record-holding Frontier supercomputer, while using 1/40th the power, and by necessity at a fraction of the cost. This dubious claim seems contingent on the term "AI computing power", which to my knowledge is not a agreed upon metric for measuring computing power (unlike, say, FLOPS). It appears to just be a marketing buzzword, and even their own website reluctantly admits it has about 1/8th as much actual compute.

This, and other claims in the article, may want to be double checked. Buggy1997123 (talk) 07:02, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes the article does need close review, and there appears to be a COI (which I've tagged on the article) as well. Greenman (talk) 19:36, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
