    Ian, good job on this interview, I think you asked the right questions. Now we need a primer on neuromorphic computing so we can better understand what the neurons are doing.

    I second the motion.

    Passed!

    You might be interested in that very related research (and competing chip) done in Europe https://techxplore.com/news/2021-10-framework-deep... in the wake of the 1 Billion USD + Blue Brain Project. What we badly need is an efficient backpropagation implementation tuned to temporal spike coding and this is exactly what that team reported in that Nature's paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-021-00388-x... freely accessible in preprint here https://arxiv.org

    "Intel’s 4 process node"

    What is that, 10nm in the real world?
  • dullard - Thursday, September 30, 2021 - link

    Intel used to call it 7 nm, but it is a bit smaller than TSMC's 5 nm (that AMD also calls 5 nm). https://www.anandtech.com/show/16823/intel-acceler...

    From what I could tell, just put TSMC in front of it and you know exactly what Intel is aiming for.

    So Intel 4 would be like TSMC's 4nm (N4). Intel 20A (20 angstrom) would be comparable to TSMC's 2nm (N2), which makes sense as both of those will be the first node from each company to use some variation of gate-all-around (GAA) transistors (Intel is calling them RibbonFETs).

    We'll see if that holds in the long run. Intel CPUs will be compared to AMD CPUs, and some Intel CPUs might be made on TSMC nodes.

    Great interview!

    It's great to see QUBO being solved on these chips, but I really wonder how they can map MILP to this architecture?!

    Great interview, Ian.

    If this helps my wife's cochlear implant hear music again....... Or real voices.... Or maybe I'm just dreaming.

    @Ian: I am wondering if there would be any chance to get an article that would compare the new Intel Loihi 2 chip versus IBM Synpase Truenorth chip, because I think both are roughly 1 million neurons chip ?

    What are the architectural differences and what each of them can / can’t do ?

    I would be very curious to know…

    Hello @Ian. Is it possible to conduct an interview with the company Brainchip Holdings? They have developed a commercially available neuromorphic chip with even more synapses and neurons. Real spiking neural network and simple programming. Even one-shot learning at the edge without cloud works! Check it out here: https://brainchipinc.com
    Can't wait!

    Cozily nuzzled amidst the mesmerizing environment of breathtaking hilly terrain beside the dense wooded area of the well-known Corbett National Park, the lovely De Floresta resort gives the lavish and tranquil vacation far from the hustle and bustle of the town lifestyles. The calm and serene environment of the resort complimenting the woodland locality is the proper gateway to a rejuvenating and enjoyable holiday. <a href="https://tasteoftrip.com/best-resorts-in-jim-corbet... in jim corbett</a> Located within the Kyari Kham village around nine km from the Ramnagar city, the resort is without problems on hand from the nearest Bus stand and Railway station of Ramnagar.
