 "The audio synthesizer is built around an integrated-circuit
 chip from Intel Corporation in Santa Clara, California. The
 chip, called the Intel 80170NX electrically trainable analog
 neural network (ETANN), simulates the function of nerve
 cells in a biological brain."

Unlikely in that we don't yet know how nerve cells in a biological
brain function.  Is it really necessary many years (now)
into neural net research to continue to lean on the brain for
moral support?

Sorry to retorically beat a dead horse, but statements like this
are annoying to those of us whose primary interest is to understand
how the brain works.  They also still occur far to frequently 
especially in association with products.
