About Intel (Loihi 2)

Loihi is Intel's neuromorphic research processor, a chip that imitates the brain by using spiking neural networks, where artificial neurons exchange brief electrical pulses and only consume energy when they fire. This differs from GPUs, which process dense arrays of numbers on every cycle. Loihi 2 was released in September 2021. Intel's Hala Point system combines 1,152 Loihi 2 chips to support up to 1.15 billion neurons, and Intel described it in 2024 as the largest neuromorphic system. Intel is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.

Intel (Loihi 2) was founded in 1968 and is based in Santa Clara, CA, United States. It is listed under Neuromorphic Computing.

What Intel (Loihi 2) works on

Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic computing builds chips that copy some features of the brain. Instead of a central processor and separate memory, a neuromorphic chip has many small units that act like neurons, each with its own local memory, joined by connections that act like synapses.
