Why haven't we seen new technology arise from the IBM Truenorth?
Such performance at such low power consumption should make it ideal for portable computing like smartphones and laptops.
What's stopping this from happening? Is it cost? Size? Is it because it's just easier to stick to x86/ARM?
IBM had to create an entirely new programming language for this, I have no doubt that's a large part of the issues with getting this out to the larger market, but would it be able to emulate ARM applications?

Enlighten me /g/.

I find it amazing that it's only 70mW power consumption, but how would it compare to an ARM mobile CPU like the Snapdragon 820?
Is there actually any legitimate method to compare performancen

No, there isn't. They work completely differently. Did you read the Wikipedia article you posted? It should be pretty bloody obvious if you even skim it.

No. Even if it could, emulation is horrifically inefficient.
Seriously, this is a beautiful chip well worth discussion, why do you want to drag it down to the level of a phone OP?

Because phones would benefit greatly from this. I'm imagining greatly improved battery life at the very least. Don't current ARM phone processors go up to almost 10w under torture?
I'm also asking because I'm not very tech literate, if possible I was hoping to learn from /g/
