You mean like GPUs have been doing for about a decade now, with their up to 4096 cores?<p>There&#x27;s also general-purpose designs like Intel&#x27;s Polaris[1] 80-core CPU that&#x27;s close to a decade old (GPUs of the time had 320 cores, so a modern Polaris might scale to 1024 cores).<p>Making neuron-like massively parallel hardware is one thing, making software to run on it another – we seem to have misplaced the source code to the human consciousness somewhere, alas, and reverse engineering is taking its time.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Teraflops_Research_Chip" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Teraflops_Research_Chip</a>
