Intel loves a good codename. Who remembers Dragontail Peak? Or Lizard Head Pass? Or even 2008’s White Salmon? Great days. All of those refer to motherboards, but Pohoiki Beach is different – it’s a new way of building computers that’s based on the human brain. Neuromorphic computing – literally ‘nerve shaped’ – uses insights from neuroscience to create chip architectures.
By simulating the way human brains work in silicon, calculations can be carried out faster while using less energy. The training of neural networks can be carried out more efficiently too, with only one viewing of an object necessary for the net to recognise it forever.
Mike Davies, director of Intel’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab, sees it more clearly, “Neuromorphic computing entails nothing less than a bottom-up rethinking of computer architecture,” he says. “The goal is to create chips that function less like a classical computer and more like a human brain. Neuromorphic chips model how the brain’s neurones communicate and learn, using spikes and plastic synapses that can be modulated based on the timing of events. These chips are designed to self-organize and make decisions in response to learned patterns and associations.”
Which all sounds a bit Cyberdyne, but we’re sure this will be fine. The goal is that one-day neuromorphic chips may be able to learn as fast and efficiently as the brain, which still far outperforms today’s most powerful computers. According to Intel, neuromorphic computing could lead to advancements in robotics, smart city infrastructure, and other applications that require continuous learning and adaptation to evolving data.

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE
Few online RPGs have transformed as much in the past decade as The Elder Scrolls Online. First debuting in April of 2014 as a confused, awkward thing, loved by few. Today, it proudly stands alongside its singleplayer peers. Here's how TESO escaped Oblivion's grasp and reconnected with Elder Scrolls fans.
