BRN Discussion Ongoing

[rgupta]

Maybe in a hypothetical senario, to give Sony and Qualcomm the ledging edge 'they' in the interim go through a 3rd party until everything on their end is sorted out this avoids showing their cards and going public.

I would suspect if Akida is truely groundbreaking as the tell us there is going to be a lot of backroom deals done like we have never seen before. IMO

I donot think they need a 3rd party as well. They may had signed an NDA and keep on working on our product like a partner and tell the market just before commercialisation.
We know the announced partners and that is why we jump on every product from those partners but there can a few other partners hiding under the EAPs and or NDAs and Sony and Qualcomm can be one of them.

This may help some understand the process on disclosure and how certain conditions (boxed) may come into play for interpretation from a BRN / EAP / NDA view.

Particularly 2, 3 & 5.

Haha, of course, just after I've posted this, someone has decided to put a 500,000 volume trade on. Just like that, we've gone up 1,200,000 in just 15 min.

Somebody blinked!

My thought is that Prophesee would be the licensee as they are (apparently) integrating it with their vision sensor. Whether or not Qualcomm chose to use it for other functions is another question altogether.

If Prophesee and Brainchip were partners and combined the sensor and processor. Maybe they just share in the profits and no licence would be required. Watch the financials.
Just guessing DYOR

In the article I posted earlier it stated....
'A development kit offering compatibility between the Snapdragon platform and Metavision sensors is expected this year.'
Pure speculation, but are they waiting for Akida 2.0????

I really really hope you're right. Prophesee outsource their chip making to Sony. But the only Akida licensees so far seem to be renesas and megachips. Maybe Sony is a client of MegaChips? Who knows? That would need to be the type of link we need.

Sony definitely deals and has dealt with Megachips

Mabe this is what Peter was referring to when he mentioned that the market did not understand the significance of the Brainchip/Megachips licensing deal????

Afternoon Townyj & Fellow Chippers ,

Great find.

I read this article on SONY two days ago and found it interesting.

Regarding their X box & Gaming consoles , for the April to June quarter this year , sales are up 38% .

SONY sold some 3,300,000 gaming unit thingies.

Sony raises forecast on PlayStation gaming growth but profit drops 31% in first quarter

Sony on Wednesday reported a 31% fall in profit in the June quarter — but raised full-year sales forecasts on the back of strength in its PlayStation business.

I posted some info on some of the Megachips - Nintendo relationship a while back that I found:

"On the 20th July 2021 the Nintendo Leaks (aka Gigaleaks) continued after a long hiatus. One of the files uploaded by the leakers was datasheet.7z.
The archive contains low level hardware information about the Nintendo Switch, including Lotus3 Game Cards reader and the Game Cards themselves.
This contents of this archive are documented in this post in order to preserve the history of the files without distributing the content itself.
The Lotus3 folder contains hardware specifications for the chips that allow the Switch to read their custom Game Card format.
The Bridge Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is the hardware inside the switch console that reads the Game Card, so you can think of it as a bridge between the console and the game. It has been designed by the combination of MegaChips Corporation and Macronix International.
The ASIC has two interfaces the eMMC interface for connecting to the console and the Nintendo Game Memory Interface connects to the Card.
It even contains its own Coretex-M3 ARM-based processor inside along with a small amount of ROM (4KB) and SRAM (42KB) and a custom Random Number Generator."

Seems like Megachips have more than one finger in the Nintendo pie. They are Megachips biggest customer after all!

So many different ways and so many different companies for BRN to earn a dollar or 3.

I find it even more interesting that Megachips deals with Synopsys, ARM, and Cadence. It all just goes around in one big circle.
