Arm's bigger brethren? Founder of Softbank seeks $100bn war chest to build AI chip behemoth to rival Nvidia, Intel — but is it too little, too late?


Project Izanagi will focus on artificial general intelligence

Project Izanagi is envisioned to work in synergy with Arm, a chip design business in which Softbank holds a 90% stake. But when you ask them about a detailed definition, a number, the timing, how much computing power, how much smarter AGI is than the human intelligence, most of them don’t have an answer. It makes sense for Son's Project Izanagi's AI processors to employ technologies such as instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by Arm to give it a head start, but the new venture may also choose to look elsewhere.
