#CHIPS: "IBM Builds World's Biggest Brain-Chip"

One thing IBM emphasizes about its neurosynaptic chip is that it works like the "right" brain, which means intuition and jumping to conclusions, whereas the "left" brain works more like a traditional computer: R. Colin Johnson

IBM's neurosynaptic processor puts 1 million artificial neurons and 256 million memory synapses on a single CMOS chip.

The 256 neuro-synaptic cores are arranged in a 64x64 array (left), each of which has 256 artificial neurons and 65,536 memory synapses (right) for tightly coupled computation, memory, and communication.
