China's New Photonic Quantum AI Chip Shocked the World: 1000× Faster Than NVIDIA

China just dropped one of the most aggressive hardware moves we’ve seen in the AI race, and it hit the entire industry out of nowhere. A Chinese research team revealed a photonic quantum chip built on a 6-inch thin-film lithium niobate wafer that’s already running inside real data centers. The developers claim it accelerates certain AI workloads by 1000× compared to NVIDIA GPUs, and early deployments are happening across aerospace, biomedicine, and finance. This video breaks down how CHIPX and Turing Quantum built it, why photonics changes everything for data-center performance, and what this means for global competition in AI hardware.
