During Intel's CES 2014 keynote, senior vice-president Mooly Eden said it would take only12 years for the company to make a processor that features as manytransistors as there are neurons in a human brain. The fourth-generation IntelCore processor already runs much more quickly, he said, and by 2026 the future version will also be able to run as many processes too.
In 1971, the first-gen Intel processor sported 2,300 transistors and ran at 740,000Hz. The latest fourth-gen Intel Core processor has 1.7billion transistorsand runs as 3,000,000,000Hz. The brain of a home sapien has 100billion neurons and runs at roughly (according to Intel) 1,000Hz.
