In a blog post penned by CEO Brian Krzanich, we are told that the NNP released later this year will be the first of many. Furthermore the release of this first Nervana processor is claimed to put Intel on track to ?exceed the goal we set last year of achieving 100 times greater AI performance by 2020?. Unfortunately little in the way of technical details were shared by Krzanich yesterday. However, he recapped other important Intel chipmaking innovations over recent weeks; the news of the first self-learning neuromorphic test chip, and the 17-qubit superconducting test chip delivered to QuTech last week.
HEXUS covered the news about Loihi, the self-learning chip from Intel, back in September. This neuromorphic computer processor blends semiconductor science, physics and biology to deliver extreme energy efficiency and the capability to make inferences, growing smarter over time without ?traditional? computer AI training. Loihi is pictured below, left.
