OpenAI's first chip is measured per watt, and the watt is the part to read twice

Jalapeño delivers 1.5 to 1.9 times more work per watt and up to 3.6 times lower latency than unnamed comparison systems, OpenAI says. The chip is rated at 700 watts and drew at most 550 in the tests, while rivals were normalized by their published rating.
