Fig. 2: Timeline of recent commercial NM compute firms and new hardware.
From: The road to commercial success for neuromorphic technologies

Large industry players (top) have committed efforts to NM compute hardware for some time. From around 2015, increased interest in NM compute as a commercial prospect has seen a cluster of new commercial startups and spinoffs emerge. Shown here are commercially available announced hardware, focussing on NM compute. University research chips are not shown. Note that IBM's NorthPole is a near-memory efficient sparse tensor processor, rather than an SNN accelerator or compute-in-memory (CIM) processor117.
