		tunichtgut on March 12, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: AlphaGo beats Lee Sedol 3-0 [video] I think this is a good guess. 280 GPUs in a single Desktop. It will take at least 10 years. Perhaps longer given the restrictions (and huge problems) in further down scaling of the known silicon technology. GPUs are now at 28nm and the newest Intel CPUs on 14nm.

NVIDIA is projecting 5-10x gains in Deep Learning performance out of their next generation hardware (Pascal) [1]. Might be sooner than you think.
