Interesting point. I think it’s difficult to define ‘sentient’, but since the processor would emulate the nervous system then it should be possible for it to eventually do all of the things that the real one does.
The initial version of the processor would be more comparable the brain of a lizard or a rodent than to that of a human. Still, lots of powerful applications at that level.
