Neuromorphic AI chips from Intel and IBM reached new test milestones this spring. The devices run spiking neural networks that only activate when data arrives, unlike standard GPUs that stay powered on. Early results show order-of-magnitude drops in energy per inference on vision and audio tasks. Standard processors still win on raw throughput for large models. Intel's Loihi 2 and IBM's NorthPole both ship in developer kits now. Each board pairs the neuromorphic die with conv
