The coolest part about this is probably how little energy it needs. It's about 20 Watts. Current node sizes are already smaller than axon diameters. If it weren't for power, we could probably scale up manufacturing processes of current semiconductor technology to build giant room sized chips but we simply wouldn't be able to cool those things. Instead we are forced to wrap a ton of metal around them and plastic and air and provide extensive cooling.
- FartyMcFarter 8y agoIs it true that a big part of this efficiency is due to using analog signals and not digital? I recall reading that, but it's far from my area of expertise. Digital has many advantages: a digital Einstein could be replicated perfectly, not so for an analog Einstein.
