New Neuromorphic computer from Intel

Post by kiroje »

Just saw this one https://venturebeat.com/2019/07/15/inte ... n-neurons/

who will be the first one to have a chess program( Leela etc. ) running on this ?

One could wonder how strong it would be...

Happy Tuesday to all

Thanks for the post. Interesting. The military is always interested in using new technology for weapons whereas we want to know how it will apply to computer chess. I must admit being somewhat cynical on some of these developments. They always say how great things are going to be and what awesome things they are doing for humanity. It reminds me of Googles efforts to save the world.
