According to a recent interview by a veteran Silicon Valley engineer, the future of computing is called Prodigy, a state of the art microchip that is going to revolutionize commercial and weapons technology. Tachyum is a small start-up company with offices in Santa Clara, California, and Slovakia, founded by Radoslav Danilak, a guy with ties to the US military and intelligence communities.
Radoslav Danilak predicts that the future microchip which is currently in development by Tachyum, will save billions of dollars for big-tech companies such as Google, Microsoft and Apple, as it combines three types of processors into one device, making for the most advanced microconductor to date.
Dubbed Prodigy, the new microchip is going to revolutionize AI, as it’s going to be used to power world’s fastest super-computers, as well as running underwater and aerial unmanned vehicles, or cell towers and telecommunications infrastructure (read 5G stuff).
Former NSA chief and retired Army Lt.Gen Richard Zahner says that Prodigy is an American design and it will make for a generational technology breakthrough, thus helping restoring America’s technological edge.
“I think the instruction set and the rest make this sufficiently different to make it challenging for the Chinese and others who might otherwise have an existent leg up. So this sort of re-levels the playing field potentially in our favor.”
Mr. Danilak has said in the aforementioned interview that:
“We’re bringing this capability 10 to 15 years earlier than others thanks to our universality, so that’s really a game changer,”
Prodigy will be significantly less power hungry compared to earlier microchips, and its drastically reduced energy consumption will make it ideal for powering cloud computing data centers, as well as for building next-gen nuclear weapons and AI-powered robotic weapons.
Prodigy is said to combine a CPU, a GPU and an AI accelerator, being basically an ASIC aka application-specific integrated circuit. Danilak is currently the CEO of Tachyum, a small company that has been developing the new Prodigy super microchip for the past 4 years. He said that Prodigy will be a big hit with the US military and it will help solve the coming world energy crisis, and will also give a boost to the automotive industry.
“What we are bringing comes from first principles, as our solution is three times lower in cost but requires nearly 10 times less power use.”
