IBM develops a computer chip with one million ‘neurons’ that ‘functions like a human brain’
TrueNorth is being hailed as the world’s first neurosynaptic computer chip because it can figure things out on its own
Modern processors have 1.4 bn transistors and consume up to 140 watts but the IBM chip contains 5.4 bn transistors and uses just 70 milliwatts
