IBM's TrueNorth chips don't work like traditional CPUs found inside today's electronics. Instead the processor is built from 4,096 computing cores that are all interlinked by some 256 million connections. This design more closely represents the way that the human brain works, with each core sending short messages to one another to help process data.
Samsung has been making use of IBM's Neuromorphic TrueNorth processors to create a digital eye that processes data like a human brain.
