So…cache?
The article does not say if they’d innovated enough to produce capacitor-based DRAM with the CPU on the same die. I guess it would come in 1GB variant if they managed that.
256 compute cores, each with its own memory
I haven’t really kept up with it but doesn’t the zen architecture have separate L1 and L2 for each core?
Even if it does it isn’t the same thing. The article explains everything
NorthPole is made of 256 computing units, or cores, each of which contains its own memory… The cores are wired together in a network inspired by the white-matter connections between parts of the human cerebral cortex, Modha says. This and other design principles — most of which existed before but had never been combined in one chip — enable NorthPole to beat existing AI machines
Isn’t this a Soc?
Shhhh, we need to pretend like it’s something new for our investors!
Now we will be able to get completely false, made up answers even faster!
So… They re-invented the Harvard architecture and added more cores?

Unless your macbook CPU has a 200 mb cache, then no
M2 Ultra performance cores have a 64 mb L2 and a 96 mb L3
Your mac has 256 compute cores, each core with access to its own memory?
Right, like I’m going to believe Baylor Swift.
