Getting there, getting there.
Up till now, the fastest on-chip true random number generator clocked in at 40 kbps, using a weirdo electronic device called a memristor that requires special doping and oddball wafer construction.

Enter photonics, which uses a quantum method and has an electronic interface too. New speed: 3 gbps.

In AI there are Monte Carlo methods that require the generation of huge amounts of random numbers. If you're a stock trader doing correlations on the S&P you'll need 250,000 random numbers for each step of the gradient descent, and at least 100 steps to get a stable result. With this new chip, it's possible - which means you get all 500x500 correlations in less than a second. Yowza.

Memristive True Random Number Generator for Security Applications - PMC
This study explores memristor-based true random number generators (TRNGs) through their evolution and optimization, stemming from the concept of memristors first introduced by Leon Chua in 1971 and realized in 2008. We will consider memristor TRNGs ...
