It's that what it actually is? Not familiar with the field, so is "neuromorphic chip design" really "we wired a bunch of GPUs together?"

Don't mean to minimize the work involved, just trying to decipher the marketing speak.

They are a chip architecture that communicates similarly to how neurons do - i.e. spiking behaviours. Makes it easy to approximate some neural systems (such as a neuromorphic retina).

neuromorphic chips try to mimic human brain's neuronal structure for computing, entirely new paradigm. checkout IBM truNorth architecture.

I think the point is that even GPUs are suboptimal for neural network computation and we need something more specialized.
