Extropic Aims to Disrupt the Data Center Bonanza
Update: 2025-10-30
Description
**Summary:**Extropic, a startup founded by ex-Google quantum computing experts, has unveiled its first probabilistic bit (p-bit) chip, the thermodynamic sampling unit. This innovative hardware, thousands of times more energy-efficient than industry giants like Nvidia and AMD, uses thermodynamic electron fluctuations to model probabilities. The chip, currently in testing with select partners, is well-suited for complex tasks like weather modeling, scientific research, and AI model generation. Extropic's software, TRHML, allows developers to simulate p-bit chips on standard GPUs, while the upcoming Z-1 chip promises 250,000 p-bits, potentially revolutionizing data centers and AI.
