Neurogrid circuit mimics human brain, is 9000x faster than your PC

The human brain is the fastest and most efficient computer we’ve ever developed, but there’s still a lot about it we still don’t understand. However, with what we do know, can we use that knowledge to create faster and more energy-efficient computers? Scientists at Stanford University think so, and have developed a circuit board called Neurogrid that’s stupendously faster and hugely more energy efficient than any standard PC.
