Please correct me here, but my view would have to be rather obvious to say the least.
If around 70% of MegaChips business comes from it's long-term relationship with Nintendo, well logic would say, at some point
in the near future Brainchips IP is/will be embedded in their future gaming products, and that market is rather small (sarcasm)
I haven't found any information linking us as yet, but it will turn up or at least some big revenue streams will I'm sure.
Think I'll have to sharpen up on my Japanese !!

i believe ARM, Valeo Mercedes and a few others are truly planning a revolution with akida and it’s capabilities - Completely agree. I think the number of applications in the Mercedes Akida will be used for will surprise a lot of people.Tesla really needs akida, i believe ARM, Valeo Mercedes and a few others are truly planning a revolution with akida and it’s capabilities.
“Tesla’s major deployment of so-called Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology is one of the most dangerous and irresponsible actions by a car company in decades,” Nader said in a statement about the autonomous system on his website.
“Together we need to send an urgent message to the casualty-minded regulators that Americans must not be test dummies for a powerful, high-profile corporation and its celebrity CEO. No-one is above the laws of manslaughter.”

A little excited because Akida can be part of this spend.
A little alarmed not only by all the sabre rattling but also the amount of money being spent.
Our current interest bill per month on Gov debt is about $1,400,000,000 and expected to grow tho S2 billion in coming years.
Like the FED in the US are sometimes seen as the bad boys but they are not in charge of Gov spending/wasting.
My little rant for the morning.
Apart from that I am a happy chappy.

Jim Keller apparently is working on the most powerful processor ever that mimics the human brain and stat it will be much more revolutionary then the Internet. Words from Jordan P. I tend to listen to this bloke when he speaks.
Now what is this chip and how does it stack up to Akida? No matter what, it is more validation by industry veterans that we are on the right track!

I have a solution.
There are a 1,000 billion in a trillion.
The combined value of superannuation in Australia is about 3.5 trillion dollars.
At any one time about 30% of that 3.5 trillion dollars is invested offshore which is approximately one trillion dollars.
So we create a Government Bond with a face value equivalent to the debt and require every institutional and government superannuation fund to buy a portion of the bond based on their funds value.
The bond will pay a minimum return of 5 percent which will be tax free in the funds so that it will be the equivalent of about 6 percent gross.
Fund managers will not be permitted to charge any fees to members against the earnings of the fund adding another couple of percent to the value of the returns bringing it to about 8% gross.
The Bond will be for at least 50 years during which time inflation will work its magic and the payments made by the Government to service the bond will remain in the hands of and enrich the Australian people.
The total value of the Australian Government debt at 30.6.22 was about $963 billion dollars.
Over the last 29 years the gross average return of superannuation growth funds has been about 8.2%.
It is a plan called nation building. Vote 1 Fact Finder for dictator.

Well I have finally discovered the fundamental starting point for NASA’s interest in QUANTUM ANNEALING. I had not been going back far enough but here it is in 2012:

Abstract
The future of Space Exploration is entwined with the future of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Autonomous rovers, unmanned spacecraft, and remote space habitats must all make intelligent decisions with little or no human guidance. The decision-making required of such NASA assets stretches machine intelligence to its limits. Currently, AI problems are tackled using a variety of heuristic approaches, and practitioners are constantly trying to find new and better techniques. To achieve a radical breakthrough in AI, radical new approaches are needed. Quantum computing is one such approach.
Many of the hard combinatorial problems in space exploration are instances of NP-complete or NP-hard problems. Neither traditional computers nor quantum computers are expected to be able to solve all instances of such problems efficiently. Many heuristic algorithms, such as simulated annealing, support vector machines, and SAT solvers, have been developed to solve or approximate solutions to practical instances of these problems. The efficacy of these approaches is generally determined by running them on benchmark sets of problem instances. Such empirical testing for quantum algorithms requires the availability of quantum hardware.
Quantum annealing machines, analog quantum computational devices, are designed to solve dis- crete combinatorial optimization problems using properties of quantum adiabatic evolution. We are now on the cusp of being able to run small-scale examples of these problems on actual quantum annealing hardware which will enable us to test empirically the performance of quantum annealing on these problems. For example, D-Wave builds quantum annealing machines based on supercon- ducting qubits. While at present noise and decoherence in quantum annealing devices cannot be easily controlled or corrected, these devices have been shown to display multi-spin tunneling, a distinct quantum phenomenon at the root of the quantum annealing process. In order to attack an optimization problem on these machines, the problem must be formulated in quadratic uncon- strained binary optimization form in which the cost function is strictly quadratic in bit assignments (in physics applications this form is often referred to as an Ising model). The above limitation is not fundamental: all NP-complete problems can be mapped to this form. However, an optimal mapping involving small or no overhead in terms of additional bits is of significant practical interest because of the limited size of early quantum annealing machines.
In this article, we discuss a sampling of the hardest artificial intelligence problems in space explo- ration in the context in which they emerge. We show how to map them onto equivalent Ising models
that then can be attacked using quantum annealing. We review existing quantum annealing results on supervised learning algorithms for classification and clustering and discuss their application to planetary feature identification and satellite image analysis. We present quantum annealing algo- rithms for unsupervised learning for clustering and discuss its application to anomaly detection in space systems. We introduce quantum annealing algorithms for data fusion and image matching for remote sensing applications. We overview planning problems for space exploration missions applica- tions and introduce algorithms for planning problems using quantum annealing of Ising models. We describe algorithms for diagnostics and recovery as well as their applications to NASA deep space missions and show how a fault tree analysis problem can be mapped onto an Ising model and solved with quantum annealing. We discuss combinatorial optimization algorithms for task assignment in the context of autonomous unmanned exploration that take into account constraints due to physical limitations of the vehicles. We show how these algorithms can be presented in the framework of Ising model optimization with application to quantum annealing. Finally, we discuss ways to circumvent the need to map practical optimization problems onto the Ising model. We demonstrate how this can be done in principle using a “blackbox" approach based on ideas from probabilistic computing. In particular, we provide initial results on Monte Carlo sampling for solving non-Ising problems.
In this article, we describe the architecture, duty cycle times and energy consumption of the D- Wave One quantum annealing machine. We report on benchmark scalability studies of D-Wave One run times and compare to state of the art classical algorithms for solving Ising optimization problems on a uniform random ensemble of problems. Results on problems in the range of up to 96 qubits show improved scaling for median core quantum annealing time compared with simulated annealing and iterative tabu search, though how it will scale as the number of qubits increases remains an open question. We also review existing results of D-Wave One benchmarking studies for solving binary classification problems with a quantum boosting algorithm. The error rates on synthetic data sets show that quantum boosting algorithm consistently outperforms the AdaBoost classical machine learning algorithm. We review quantum algorithms for structured learning for multi-label classification and describe how the problem of finding an optimal labeling can be mapped onto quantum annealing with Ising models, and then introduce a hybrid classical/quantum approach for learning the weights. We review results of D-Wave One benchmarking studies for learning structured labels on four different data sets. The first data set is Scene, a standard image benchmark set. The second data set, the RCV1 subset of the Reuters corpus of labeled news stories, has a significantly larger number of labels, and more complex relationships between the labels. The other two are synthetic data sets generated using MAX-3 SAT problem instances. On all four data sets, quantum annealing was compared with an independent Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach with linear kernel and exhibited a better performance”
So now we have the why?
We have the yes SNN can process with Quantum Annealing algorithms.
We have NASA experimenting with SNN and Quantum Annealing in 2021.
We have random statements from Professor Iliadis at the Democratis University of Thrace and Rob Telson that AKIDA is being used for autonomous space flight.

It was all going well into the weekend until Powell opened his mouth and warned that the US is heading towards financial armageddon.

His comments were predictable given the Fed is trying to suppress inflation and dampen demand and the White House and Congress are pumping billions into the economy to inflate a technology sector that is swimming in gold and eating caviar from platinum spoons. The big players who control the markets knew this and were waiting at the mouth of the estuary to pounce on those who are addicted to panic. The shares on the BRN bus go up and down, up and down, all through the town.

I'm not concerned one bit but I am surprised at the US market reaction to Powell's comments because US inflation was a known fact for a few months.
In the medium to long term it will play out in BRN's favour. As the economies around the world including USA emerge from recessions, I believe governments, large corps and new companies will embrace future proofed tech, aka AKIDA rather than reinvest in legacy technology.
We haven't seen Tensor 2, but Tensor 3 is already reportedly in development
A new rumor suggests that Google and Samsung are collaborating on the development of a new chipset that may be the Tensor 3.
Any hints about potential for Akida being in future Tensor chips?
Fingers crossed
