How long before we see multi-core AI chips?
..."As the earlier image shows, Loihi looks like a standard chip on the outside (or at least, it does in its current "test iteration"), but under the hood, there's a secondary chip in addition to the primary CPU, which is used to accelerate AI workloads. NVIDIA's Tesla V100 has a similar design, with its additional Tensor processor.
Intel says that its Loihi chip comprises 130,000 neurons and 130 million synapses, and that it's built on the company's 14nm process, which is probably no surprise. In the first half of 2018, Intel plans to seed the chip to leading university and research institutions that focus on AI. So while the chip is effectively unveiled today, it's going to be some time before we see the fruits of Intel's labor."...
