China's "Digital Valley" reports a surge in computing power by 2025

  Southwest China's Guizhou Province is projected to have computing power exceeding 150 EFLOPS by 2025, nearly tripling the figure in 2024, with intelligent computing accounting for more than 90 percent of the total, according to the Guizhou Province 2026 data work conference held on Tuesday (January 13)

Guizhou, known as China's "digital valley," has become one of the country's major artificial intelligence (AI) computing hubs. Currently, 50 data centers have been built or are under construction in Guizhou. The province is also home to one of the national computing network nodes, attracting 48 service providers.

By 2025, fixed-asset investment in computing facilities will exceed 22 billion yuan (1 yuan = Rp2,416) or approximately US$3.14 billion (1 US$ = Rp16,853), according to official data.

By 2026, Guizhou plans to increase its computing capacity to 190 eFLOPS by promoting new projects and environmentally friendly and efficient data centers.

eFLOPS, or ExaFLOPS, is a unit of measurement for computing performance, with each unit representing 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second.
