It looks like to do actual speech at the speed humans do and comprehend. Computers have to be at least 200 times faster than today. Add sight, hearing and you are easily multiples of that.
Intel space has lots of room. NEURAL NETS are best 1000 deep will need to get to 20,000 for Auto drive, very doable. Getting to several millions very hard. TOPOLOGICAL COMPUTING is not trival. I am a new hire at Intel (2 years). I see the future very bright, but the Technical horse power at Intel very weak. The group I am in is very small almost all Germans, Israeli, Indians, Chinese not one US born Engineer. Everyone has a PhD and very fun place to work. Don't sell Intel short especially the young Engineers. The .001% will win. Intel has a lot going on.
