Ni1000

The Ni1000 is an artificial neural network chip developed by Nestor Corporation and Intel, developed in the 1990s.

The chip is aimed at image analysis applications– containing more than 3 million transistors – and can analyze 40,000 patterns per second.

[1] Prototypes running Nestor's OCR software in 1994 were capable of recognizing around 100 handwritten characters per second.

The development was funded with money from DARPA and Office of Naval Research.
