Over the past few decades, the chip industry has been embroiled in fierce competition, marked by recurring issues such as escalating chip prices, GPU supply shortages, and growing concerns over AI computational capabilities. While the industry has largely concentrated on iterative chip upgrades, Microsoft has charted a distinct course by reimagining computing through the utilization of light. Following four years of intensive research, Microsoft has successfully developed an analog optical computer (AOC) that leverages smartphone camera technology, Micro LEDs, and lenses. This groundbreaking accomplishment has now been showcased in the prestigious journal Nature, presenting a transformative vision for the future trajectory of GPUs.
