In line with the developing technology and user experiences, the interest in Artificial Intelligence has increased considerably in recent years. With this technology, processors designed with inspiration from the human brain are frequently on the agenda. In recent years, we have often heard about the development of hardware that performs neuromorphic calculations similar to the working principle of the human brain.
While it is not known whether Artificial Intelligence will replace humans, ‘Neuromorphotic Chips’, which seem to replace Artificial Intelligence, are on the agenda. Intel, the leading company in processor production, previously introduced its processor ‘Loihi’, which is produced with neuromorphic chip technology. According to the statement made by the company, a new one is added to the neuromorphic processor technology. Work continues rapidly for the new design ‘Loihi 2’ that works like a human brain.
Next-Gen Chip 10X Faster
According to Intel, Loihi 2, a successful example of neuromorphic computing technology, is about 10 times faster than the previous generation. This increase in speed is due to the fact that there are 8 times more digital neurons in this generation, which are the counterparts of the cells on the chips that the brain uses to process information. It can be programmed much better in information processing than in the past. The Loihi 2, which is scheduled to hit the market in 2023, was successfully produced in the pre-production process of the Intel 4.
Neuromorphic computing is different from artificial intelligence, which relies on how brains learn and react. In Artificial Intelligence, data is retrieved from traditional computer memory, while in Neuromorphic chips, data is obtained by information spanning neuronal networks. Mike Davies, leader of the group that developed Loihi 2; He notes that the chips are particularly good at quickly detecting movements, sounds, and even odors. Despite the billions of neurons in the human brain, these chips contain 1 million neurons. But every single neuron in Loihi 2 works much better than those in the human brain.
What is neuromorphic computing?
The human brain consists of about 80 billion cells called neurons connected to electrical signaling networks. When enough signal reaches a single neuron, it signals to other neurons. These connections and signal flow are the basis for accessing any information. Learning; It is the process of establishing, grounding and strengthening these connections.
