Overview
- Speaking at CES 2026, Su defined a yottaflop as one septillion operations per second and said reaching 10 yottaflops would be about 10,000 times 2022’s global compute.
- She cited estimates that global AI compute rose from roughly one zettaflop in 2022 to more than 100 zettaflops by 2025.
- Business Insider noted that 10 yottaflops would be about 5.6 million times the performance of the DOE’s El Capitan supercomputer.
- Reporters highlighted that power-grid capacity, energy build-out, cooling, and data-center infrastructure could be major constraints on scaling to this level.
- AMD used the keynote to unveil Instinct MI455X GPUs, EPYC Venice CPUs, and Helios rack-scale systems as it positions to serve rising AI infrastructure demand.
