In the tests, the Jalapeno processor led in two categories: the amount of AI work it could handle per unit of power and its speed at returning responses. The semiconductor was measured against Nvidia’s GB300, which was the leading option on the public benchmarking system used in the test, OpenAI chip chief Richard Ho said in an interview.
