Neuromorphic computers eh? Better than the real thing eh?

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a superconducting switch that "learns" like a biological system and could connect processors and store memories in future computers operating like the human brain. ...

Even better than the real thing, the NIST synapse can fire much faster than the human brain—1 billion times per second, compared to a brain cell's 50 times per second—using just a whiff of energy, about one ten-thousandth as much as a human synapse. -phys.org
