Ignoring the personification of the M1 which is not even an AI system, so it doesn't 'feel' anything, I'm trying to understand these numbers. The article claims that a cycle in the M1 is 0.25 nanoseconds. The M1 has a clock rate of 3.2Ghz, which is 3200 Hz. A Hz is 1/s, so a cycle would be 1/3200, which is 0.0003125 seconds, or 312.5 nanoseconds. Based on that, the rest of the numbers in the article are wrong.<p>Also, not sure what would be so special about making these calculations about the M1 and saying that it 'feels' time, when there are other CPUs with clock rates as high as 5.5Ghz, and I believe the highest clock rate achieved with overclocking is over 8Ghz.<p>A fun, albeit misguided, fanboy fiction :)
