The main promises in optical computing are energy consumption, latency and single core speed.
For example, in this work
Lin, Z., Shastri, B.J., Yu, S. et al. 120 GOPS Photonic tensor core in thin-film lithium niobate for inference and in situ training. Nat Commun 15, 9081 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-53261-x https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-53261-x
they achieve a "weight update speed of 60Ghz" which is much faster than the average ~3-4Ghz CPU.
