Raja Koduri, intel's senior vice president, said powering the so-called metacosm will require more powerful technology than we have today.
Last week, Koduri wrote in a blog post: "To achieve the metacosm, we need to see a 1,000-fold increase in computational efficiency from the current advanced level to enhance persistent and immersive computing, and the load also needs to reach the point where it can be accessed by billions of people in real time." Koduri is envisioning a high-end version of the metaverse with realistic avatars and environments that combine our reality with virtual elements.

Referring specifically to Intel, Koduri said that Intel is looking to upgrade three key areas: intelligence, operations, and computers. Intelligence refers to "unified programming models and software development tools," and O&M encompasses "an infrastructure layer that provides users with more compute power than is available locally," and computing means the actual raw power needed to run the platform.
At present, we also see some manufacturers hoping to become a mature "metaverse" on multiple platforms. Social VR apps like Rec Room and VRChat allow users to create their own avatars to explore the world, Facebook renamed Meta to reflect its ambitions to build a "metaverse" in the coming years, and it also has its own family of Horizon apps that cover different elements like social VR.
Koduri shows that, however, whatever is happening today, it may be decades before we see something truly similar to the persistent online metaverse.
