BM has announced the latest version of its neurosynaptic processor -- that is, a processor whose workings are inspired by the human brain.
Built on Samsung's 28nm process technology, it has 5.4 billion transistors and an on-chip network of 4,096 neurosynaptic cores.
IBM claims it is the first neurosynaptic chip to achieve 1 million programmable neurons, 256 million programmable synapses, and 46 billion synaptic operations per second.
The size of a postage stamp, the processor consumes just 70mW of power during real-time operations -- about as much as required by a hearing-aid battery, according to IBM.
