@Bravo, @Diogenese pointed out 8 Gen 2 have some low end SNN capabilities."The choice is up to the partners"...interesting. Qualcomm is leaving the partners or the individual phone makers in this case, to decide what capabilities they want in the phones. I wonder if this could mean they're potentially leaving the door open to their partners to choose to implement Akida for additional AI capabilities at the edge.
It's not beyond the realms of possibilities it it?

First Listen: Taking Qualcomm's Snapdragon Sound for a Spin
Qualcomm hopes to bring a handful of new experiences to next year's Bluetooth headphones and speakers, including dynamic spatial audio and lossless playback. We gave the upgrades a quick listen. Here are our thoughts.au.pcmag.com
Awesome ... And they rounded us out @ 70c very nice
The half yearly report will be more interesting imo. It's not a cash report but shows all revenue generated in the last 6 months.We haven't seen any revenue for those licencing agreements yet so they probably be in the next 4c if they've paid. It's not unusual for companies to take 60-90 days to pay invoices.
Totally agree FF. The company is moving forward but the trajectory not what we anticipated a year ago. Understandable and we should recognise and accept this publicly between now and release of the next 4c or we'll play into the hands of the dickheads once again. Seriously - we'll get there - but pleeeease don't roll-the-dice on this quarter's revenue. Everything is heading the right direction. I hate to say it again but listen to Master Po!!!An historical reminder of things past:
1. Last year when acting in the role of CEO Peter van der Made referred to explosive sales second half next year being 2022.
2. A little while ago in the 4C report the CEO Sean Hehir stated:
“We are seeing the greatest amount of sales activity and engagement in the Company’s history. However, the current global technology market has created economic dynamics that have extended evaluations, decreased budgets, and delayed introduction of new technology. These conditions have created a headwind for our prospective and current customers. We anticipate these conditions to eventually calm. We remain positive on future market penetration and broad adoption of Brainchip’s technology.
FINANCIAL UPDATE
The Company ended the September Quarter with US$24.6M in cash”
3. Explosive sales will generate explosive income but based solely on the development timeline for the Prophesee Sony vision sensor to come to market at least three years may be involved.
4. So from an explosive sale during the last quarter to an explosive income being reflected in a 4C it is not going to occur in this current quarter.
This is not intended as a negative as I see an immediate short term advantage accruing to shareholders even though explosive sales today will not mean explosive income tomorrow.
What history has taught me about Brainchip is that while some customers insist on absolute confidentiality others have been prepared to lift their skirts and trouser legs and expose a little ankle at least to the market at large.
This means that amongst the mounting number of customer engagements there will be an increasing percent of customers prepared to be similarly announced.
My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA
Hi FMF,As Sailesh said in that previous interview.
“At the very low end, we have added an ARM M33 MCU and spiking neural network with BrainChip core licensed for selected applications – we have licensed what we need to license from BrainChip including the software to get the ball rolling.

About half way down.Hi FMF,
Can you please give me a link to this quote??
“At the very low end, we have added an ARM M33 MCU and spiking neural network with BrainChip core licensed for selected applications – we have licensed what we need to license from BrainChip including the software to get the ball rolling.
Thanks heaps,
Iseki
Brilliant. Thanks so much!About half way down.

ARM battles RISC-V at Renesas
Dr. Sailesh Chittipeddi, Executive Vice President and General Manager of IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit of Renesas Electronics talks to eeNews Europewww.eenewseurope.com
No probs.Brilliant. Thanks so much!
I have previously looked and looked thru Renesas product catalogue to see where this chip is.
The whole computer chip business seems to be running to a totally new paradigm. Gone are the days you'd but some CPU and add some other microcontrollers all off the shelf. Now it seems to be all about hiring the designers from renesas, arm, or megachips or sifive and they'll design something uniquely for you.
Preview of MF headline:
Meme stock BrainChip pumped up 13% in 3 days by deluded retail holders while Ford and VW abandon AI startup and Intel spends 100 times as much on AI research but chooses not to launch takeover.
What's a neuromorphic chip anyway?
Turbulent flow in a water tank reconstructed from captured event data“The flow measurements clearly demonstrate that EBIV enables measurements in close proximity of surfaces where PIV and other frame-base imaging methods generally have problems with excessive light scatter. As surfaces generally do not move, they do not trigger any intensity-change events and hence are not visible by the event camera. Another advantage is that individual particles can be identified efficiently using the contrast maximization approach used for the recovery of the motion field.”

IN5778CH2013A A FILTERING MEANS FOR TRACKING INFORMATION FLOW IN ANROID OPERATED DEVICES
I thought from the chatter a few days ago he left because he had bicycle accidents? I'll have to go back over the post.And if one is allowing for the possibility that Brainchip's CEO Sean Hehir is a strategic thinker and plans well ahead perhaps knowing that Jerome Nadel had a strategic purpose and once that was completed he would slip quietly away then so as not to disrupt the market he was kept as much as possible in the shadows so that the replacement could walk in the sunshine without being constantly shaded by comparisons with his predecessor.
Yet again an alternate theory not factual in any sense but just a way of thinking about issues which can prevent people from leaping to a conclusion based upon insufficient data.
