Chinese Researchers Unveil Brain Chip Claimed to Be Up to 478× Faster Than Nvidia A100 for Brain Modelling

Chinese researchers from Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a specialised memristor-based brain-modelling chip that reportedly delivers 50×–478× faster cortical surface reconstruction than Nvidia’s A100 for this specific task. Published in Science, the in-memory computing chip reconstructs cortical surfaces in under 0.5 seconds and could advance neuroscience, brain-computer interfaces, surgical planning, and Alzheimer’s research.
