Chinese scientists’ brain-mimicking chip ‘up to 478 times faster than Nvidia A100 GPU’

Chinese scientists say they have developed a tiny computer chip capable of modelling complex brain structures in real time. According to its developers, this chip could not only transform diagnostics and treatment for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, but also boost the performance of brain-machine interfaces and assist surgeons. Researchers from Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported the breakthrough in a peer-reviewed study published in Science on Thursday,...
