New Chip Expands the Possibilities for AI (10 minute read)
NeuRRAM is a type of neuromorphic chip that features millions of memory cells and thousands of neurons built into its hardware to run algorithms. It uses a type of memory called resistive RAM which uses analog memory cells that can store multiple values along a fully continuous range. NeuRRAM chips can store more information from algorithms in the same amount of chip space as traditional chips. They can perform as well as digital computers on complex AI tasks while being up to 1,000 times more energy efficient.
