AI and digital push Chinese computing power soar
China expects intelligent computing power to grow by more than 40% in 2025 from a year earlier. According to a report at the China Computing Power Conference held from August 22-24, with analysts pointing out that China's computing power industry is entering a new era of qualitative and large-scale development, supporting the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
Data from the China National Information Administration (NDA) indicate that as of June 2025, China's intelligent processing power reached 788 EFLOPS, a significant increase from 90 EFLOPS in late 2024, accounting for 32% of the country's total processing power.
The expansion of computing power is due to a variety of applications such as creative AI models, driverless vehicles, smart cities, agricultural robots, and industrial manufacturing, with over 23,000 innovative projects put to practical use in the financial, health, and energy sectors.
Researchers point out that AI is rapidly transforming Chinese society, relying on processing power as a key driver in both precision medical diagnosis, personalized learning through VR / AR systems, and precision agriculture that uses robots and multidimensional data.
At the conference, the DeepSeek-V3.1 model, designed to support China's newer chips, was also discussed using FP8 techniques that enhance processing efficiency and reduce bandwidth consumption, even requiring mixed-resolution training to maintain accuracy.
Analysts expect the digital economy to be China's new driver, with AI potentially generating more than 11 trillion yuan (49.7 trillion), or about 4-5% of GDP, by 2035, which will drive demand for computing power several times more.
