Nope it's just some rebranded x86 cores.

Neuromemristive,although I haven't heard the term before, means using memristors to compute artificial neural networks.

We're in the 8088 stage of AI right now.
They are just good enough as integrated GPUs for the occasional gamer and that is it.
In my opinion NVIDIA needs a moat. CUDA is a good start but they need proprietary data that's hard to create. I thought they should buy Yahoo which would give them a large and unique data set that NVIDIA users could tie into through an API.
NVidia is the horse to bet on now, but it remains to be seen how they can can expand beyond their current model of leaning heavily on their GPU technology.
As AI becomes more pervasive you'll want to have it integrated into smaller, more power conscious devices, such as would be the case in robotics. Does NVidia have a solution here that scales down? Clearly they're focused on scaling up, as that's where the money is today.
Yes, they have invested heavily in this. Everytime they talk about their "car/auto segment" (which is all the time if you listen to their investor calls) it's mostly about scale-down.
The AI agent can easily be somewhere centralized where power isn't a big deal.
Then the robot stops being analogous to an animal with it's own brain and starts being something more like an appendage.
Or maybe they'll be like those magical mops in Fantasia.
