(ECNS) -- A new data module was placed in sea waters and connected to the existing underwater data center in Lingshui, south China's Hainan Province on Tuesday, marking the official launch of Hainan underwater intelligence computing cluster.
Measuring 18 meters in length and 3.6 meters in diameter, the newly installed data module can house over 400 high-performance servers and is connected to customer data endpoints via a nearby shore station.
The cluster now delivers computing power equivalent to 30,000 high-end gaming computers, processing a year's worth of calculations for an average computer in just one second.
It supports DeepSeek assistance to handle approximately 7,000 intelligent conversations per second.
The data center uses seawater as a natural coolant, consuming less energy, water and space.
Some 10 companies have already signed on to utilize its capacity for AI model training and inference, industrial simulation, game development and marine scientific research.
