Developed by the company’s experts, these chips are able to solve problems that were previously inaccessible with traditional graphics chips, such as analyzing raindrops flowing down the window or the smallest grains of sand, with minimal power consumption.
According to Andrey Lavrentyev, the new neuromorphic chips have two important advantages. First, they are much more energy efficient than traditional graphics chips. While the neuromorphic chip containing 8 thousand neurons consumes only 4 milliwatts of energy, the human brain with 90 billion neurons consumes 20 watts of energy. This means neuromorphic chips can perform calculations thousands of times more efficiently than traditional graphics chips, making them an ideal choice for unmanned drones and robots.
Second, neuromorphic chips have extraordinary speeds. Lavrentiev added that when combined with neuromorphic cameras, they can process 1,250 frames per second, making them ideal for analyzing fast-moving objects such as raindrops or grains of sand.
The new neuromorphic chips offer a wide range of applications, from industrial use in film deposition to use in traffic cameras.
