    Neuromorphic AI Processing Uses 16X Less Energy

    One of Intel’s Nahuku boards, each of which contains eight to 32 Intel Loihi neuromorphic chips

      The next big step forward in electronics will be the migration of artificial intelligence (AI) from the datacentre to the edge. As systems grow more complex, the size of the code required to calculate for every eventuality grows exponentially. Training the system to “think” for itself and make d
