I imagine if you paid the right people and already know the earth is flat it would give you better access
😂
i had a flat earther say that i cant design a CPU because it takes thousand of people to design one
have you actually tried doing that, kevin?
you can design a CPU, but cpu requires a motherboard to work
false
depending on how big you want to make it
true
you need a motherboard of some type to house the cpu
the design i have is small enugh that you could probably fit a few hundred thousand of them on a standard intel die
if you are trying to design a new type of architecture than scale will matter
going to be tough trying to minutarize new hardware
yo ucan design it on paper, but to actually build a prototype would take money and effort
and to not have it fill several rooms with ancient tech would require more than one person
well i have an FPGA
i can test thousands of designs on it
your not building a computer solo with new hardware by yourself, like new hardware would require help
is FPGA some prototyping software?
im designing new hardware
an FPGA is a type of chip that has all the logic gates on it
and you basicly "burn" the logic into it
FPGA = field programable gate aray
that doesn't sound like new hardawre
that sounds like using existing hardware that has already been developed
it can run at a few megahrz
the FPGA is a way to test an archetecture
its not the hardware itself
but it emulates the hardware itself
your burning routs for data to flow in it
the logic gates are there
the way to actually get real hardware is to ask a company to burn an asic for me
that cost a few hundred dollars tho
you have to buy batches
they actually built new types of hardware for making neural nets
for AI
an asic is basicly all the gates and you actually burn the wires in
yes
and those where probably first tested on an fpga
then asic
then eventually direct silicon
