You mean like GPUs have been doing for about a decade now, with their up to 4096 cores? There's also general-purpose designs like Intel's Polaris[1] 80-core CPU that's close to a decade old (GPUs of the time had 320 cores, so a modern Polaris might scale to 1024 cores). Making neuron-like massively parallel hardware is one thing, making software to run on it another – we seem to have misplaced the source code to the human consciousness somewhere, alas, and reverse engineering is taking its time.
