Yeah, looks like he forgot the "sleep 18000000 ;" part of his command...

They consume a lot of power because they have a fast clock rate. A neural net shouldn't need a high clock rate.

They state that it takes 400 transistors. Intel fabs a 2 billion transistor chip. I don't think that really means that 5 million of these artificial neurons could be put in one die, but pretty I'm sure that they aren't planning to put millions of chips onto a board.

With wafer-scale integration, and some long range signal propagation to emulate 3d, there's reason to think that fairly large systems can be emulated.

Nothing at all. Anonymous Coward seems to be getting less intelligent as he ages.

Indeed, it should be his nom nom nom de plume.

It's not like that at all, don't be ridiculous.

Bad link. It just takes you to a twitter sign-up form.
