Replicating the brain's capabilities, an impossible task, may theoretically require thousands of H100, one of NVIDIA's most powerful GPUs. At 700 watts per chip, we are looking at power consumption in the megawatt range. The brain runs on 20 watts. Scientists have taken inspiration from this remarkable organ to create chips that could cut conventional energy use by 70%.
