TrueNorth

IBM’s brain-inspired CMOS chip delivering 1 million programmable neurons and 256 million synapses on a 70-milliwatt power budget.

IBM TrueNorth redefines edge computing by mimicking the human brain's neural architecture. This 28nm CMOS chip integrates 4,096 neurosynaptic cores to support 1 million programmable neurons and 256 million synapses. Performance is high: it executes 46 billion synaptic operations per second per watt. Efficiency is the priority: the chip consumes just 70 milliwatts during real-time operation (roughly the power density of a hearing aid). By ditching the traditional clock for an asynchronous, event-driven design, TrueNorth excels at sensory processing tasks like multi-object tracking and speech recognition. It represents a massive leap for low-power AI: specifically designed for DARPA’s SyNAPSE program requirements.
