London startup's AI chip reuses energy, but faces challenges convincing hyperscalers

A London startup's experimental chip, Ice River, has achieved proof of concept, demonstrating energy reuse and reducing power consumption by approximately 30 percent. The chip utilizes reversible logic gates and adiabatic computing to recycle energy, unlike traditional processors that dissipate energy as heat after a single use. While promising for AI's energy demands, the technology is unlikely to immediately convince major hyperscale operators to invest, as they are developing their own solutions.
