(10,509 posts)but we have world class chip designers in our country.
From 2014 to 2017, I worked for a small company called KnuEdge here in San Diego.
Most chips that come with your home computer have 4 cores, maybe 8 cores.
1 core is a CPU (Central Processing Unit).
We created a chip about 1.5" x 1.5" that had 256 cores.
Each core can communicate and pass data amongst the other 255 cores.
Then we created a PCI board with 4 chips on the board.
That's 1024 cores per PCI card, again each can communicate and pass data to the other 1023 cores.
We are able to install 8 PCI cards in a computer chassis. that's 8,192 cores per chassis. We can load 8 chassis per computer rack. Again that's 65,536 cores per rack. And we can create unlimited racks up to 131,072,000 cores, That's 62.5 racks.
What was the purpose of all this?
We were trying to simulate the human brain with each core representing a neural network.
It worked too. Systems similar to ours started popping up from tech powerhouses like Intel, Amazon and Apple. Amazon uses their neural network in their AWS (Amazon Web Services).
So you see, you will never convince me that we can't accomplish what that Taiwanese company is making or saying.
Here are a few stories on KnuEdge
