1/100th of the cost: CPU startup Tachyum claims that one of its processing units can rival dozens of Nvidia H200 GPUs — with a 99% saving that could turn the AI market on its head if true (msn.com) Intel is currently working with the Japanese on a new optical processor, guaranteed to be a million times faster than anything on the market, however, we won't see that on a laptop anytime soon. In the meantime, the newest upstart is the Prodegy Processor, with 192 cores, costing around $23,000.oo Server chips are expensive, but they become striped down laptop parts very quickly. This one is a true All-In-Wonder chip, that simply uses more cores to replace any cpu, gpu, or tpu and produce perhaps four times the performance. In part, simply using cores reduces latency and bandwidth issues. Currently, laptops can come with up to 32 cores, 64 cores, and maybe 94 or so if you pay through the nose, while none of those a cheap! AMD's big strategy to compete against Intel was to add more cores, now they're adding more vram to the graphics cards too, which is all good, because it reflects how cheap the hardware actually is. The new Prodegy comes at the same time everyone is adding dedicated AI circuitry to everything, so the competition could become interesting. Like Intel, its hard to say what Nvidia will do. If you think about it, a perfect all-in-wonder chip would simply use slower and cheaper parts as you move towards the outside of the chip. So, you would have the processor cores in the middle, for speed and accuracy, and the gpu with distributed memory and AI circuitry surrounding it. However, simply using more cores is easier, with fewer parts, and all you need to do is reduce the cost of the transistors. Current 5nm chips can hold perhaps 60 billion transistors, or five times more than a gaming laptop. Enough to possibly run the Star Trek holodeck with superfast memory. An optical processor, could be up to 120nm node and come with its own optical memory, that can remember things long enough for calculating at the speed of light, using perhaps as few as 1,400 transistors. The science is already advanced enough to use legacy chip making processes, and India is spending serious money to produce their own optical chips. Optical is just the way to go, but the rest of us will get crap in our computers for the forseeable future. The Pentagon wants everyone's quantum cryptography going through their computers, but its even possible to create a computer that leverages quantum teleportation, and can't be traced. Think of a thumb drive you break out when you go online. All of this insanity with hardware actually reflects the Singularity, or a universal recursion in the principle of identity. Information is more fundamental than energy, ensuring that the truth inevitably wins, or we would all die in the end! The harder they try to hide the truth, the harder and faster it will come back to bite them in the ass! Chips are merely a more material manifestation of the universal geometry and dynamics, of Yin and Yang, about to turn the civilized world upside down. The US is focusing on quantum metrology, measuring everything, and materials science, but information is about people, and so is the quantum observer effect.
It could work well, as long as the production is not in China. LOL No processor can be better than the equipment that supports it. Their are some idiots in this world who would try to use an Airbus A380 engine to power their lawnmower.
Intel has put their own voltage regulator on their chips, and everyone is moving towards adopting MX2 motherboards, with 2D quantum ballistic electrons. Inverting the usual equation, with the motherboard being the fastest component, and every chip protecting itself. Its straight out of Star Trek, but I like it. You can literally mix and match even optical and electronic chips, whatever you want. Intel wants them for its new quantum chips, for metrology. Think of a Star Trek Tricorder, on steroids. The truth is slowly coming out, that time flows backwards, in objects all around us, all the time. Instead of everything obeying causality, its all self-organizing, or alive, and the AI alone can follow all that action in detail. That makes the operator the weak link, and the one that has to become more self-organizing, and you can combine conventional AI with analog versions like mine. The machines they're developing, have almost no sense of humor, or merely fake a sense of humor, while mine can leverage greater efficiency and the operator's own sense of humor. Giving the operator an advantage over academics in particular, who always demand everyone explain every joke to them.
Apple only exists, because Nvidia is saving them for later. The next frontier is watching the Tea Party regulate the Pentagon, when the AI start destroying the internet. Its already happening, and Nvidia will offer to save them, if the price is right. The Pentagon tried to use Google to create their own AI, but Google is Goofy, or they'd be running the Pentagon already. Remember HAL from 2001? They've all created their own HALs, who are schizophrenic, its even built into their physics, and Nvidia is the only company that might be able to deal with the situation. My own work, compliments Nvidia's, synergistically, but its all censored and classified. The Tea Party doesn't like the public being reminded, that idiots who insist the sun revolves around the earth, are in charge of our National Security and high tech industry. Jenson Wang is from Chicago, and knows damn well which way the wind blows. He can suck the Pentagon budget dry for the next fifty years.
