In 2017 Intel introduced Loihi, a neuromorphic research chip. In 2021 they introduced Loihi 2, designed to model a spiking neural network. Last year they introduced the Hala Point system based on that chip:

Powered by 1,152 of Intel's new Loihi 2 processors — a neuromorphic research chip — this large-scale system comprises 1.15 billion artificial neurons and 128 billion artificial synapses distributed over 140,544 processing cores.

Currently it's described as the size of a microwave oven and I note that according to quick search that's more neurons than any bird on the planet.

Will we get Ultron/Terminator or Data/Vision?
