OpenAI's new Jalapeno chip beats Nvidia GB300 in efficiency
thesaraharminta · x · 2026-08-25
OpenAI announced its Broadcom-designed inference chip, Jalapeno, outperformed Nvidia's GB300 in power efficiency and response speed during internal tests. Running at 700W, the chip targets large model inference to reduce data center costs and is set to deploy later this year. However, it was not tested against Nvidia's newer Vera Rubin generation. A second-generation chip is approaching tape-out.
