Before revision: Details Memory, computation, and communication are handled in each of the 4096 neurosynaptic cores, TrueNorth circumvents the von Neumann-architecture bottleneck and is very energy-efficient, with IBM claiming a power consumption of 70 milliwatts and a power density that is 1/10,000th of conventional URL How IBM Got Brainlike Efficiency From the TrueNorth Chip The SyNAPSE chip operates at lower temperatures and power because it only draws power necessary for computation.
