Leading AI supercomputer reaches 2e22 FLOP/s

6.8 significance by Trends in AI Supercomputers Compute June 2030

Why does it matter?

This much compute would keep pushing frontier AI progress toward actors with enormous infrastructure capacity.

The United States accounts for about three-quarters of total AI supercomputer performance, with China in second place at 15%. Meanwhile, traditional supercomputing powers like the UK, Germany, and Japan now play marginal roles in AI supercomputers. If the observed trends continue, the leading AI supercomputer in 2030 will achieve 2 x 10^22 16-bit FLOP/s, use two million AI chips, have a hardware cost of $200 billion, and require 9 GW of power.
