I'm not so sure, but for me to explore this area would require a lot of time and I don't feel like allocating it right now... I'm also not so sure our current models of brain mechanisms or dynamics are anywhere near accurate, but that's another issue... >> Indeed, AGI and physics simulation may be two of the app areas that have >> the easiest times making use of these 80-core chips... > > > I don't think Intel is even looking at these.

Well, my bet is that a main app of multicore chips is ultimately gonna be gaming ... and gaming will certainly make use of fancy physics simulation ... and I'm betting it will also make use of early-stage AGI... ben g ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=123753653-47f84b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
