“ With its upcoming RA8 MCUs, Renesas predicts it will finally overtake the competition with the most advanced Arm core on the MCU market.”
Guess if want to get a perspective for Renesas products through one supplier.

ZMOD is there.

Most products have Datasheets but some don't.

Can trawl through and find Megachips etc and then check products for dots haha

Though to be fair, probs a lot of companies like Megachips do client direct custom products that won't be listed. Megachips has like 39 listed or something.

Excuse me Sir I think you dropped something back there.
This describes and illustrates the problems associated with creating sparsity using conventional hardware and CNNs to connect to event based cameras (square pegs and round holes). Benosman’s article about this problem and how Prophesee were looking for a new processor to resolve the issue (convention hardware could not), lead to a partnership with BrainChip. AIMO.

“ With its upcoming RA8 MCUs, Renesas predicts it will finally overtake the competition with the most advanced Arm core on the MCU market.”

Any indication of which of the Cortex-M is likely to be used in the RA8 MCU line?

Options would be

Year

Question is if they will get these with the Akida neuron fabric integrated or not..... how else will they be utilising the Akida IP?

On another matter, ARM says "BrainChip’s Akida IP is fully compatible with Arm’s product families" but then only lists it for Cortex-M - guess that is where it makes the most sense. However, it is a bit unclear.

I personally do not think it is ambiguous.

Anil Mankar, Peter van der Made, Rob Telson, Ken Scarince, Jerome Nadel and Sean Hehir have all stated the AKIDA neural fabric is processor and sensor agnostic.

The ARM Cortex M 4 is only on the AKD1000 chip to run the peripherals which allows an IP customer to use AKIDA with what ever processor it is already running.

So as I say no confusion in my mind.

So is ARM confused or is ARM deliberately with Brainchip running interference for existing customers like Renesas so that some uncertainty can be injected.

In any event take it from me there is no doubt you can run AKIDA with every ARM processor under the Sun.

Now this should draw out the Ogre if I am wrong. 😂🤣😂

My opinion only DYOR

Ok, this has got me confused.

The top 20 shareholders list as per last announcement on 1AUG22 is:
1661850998011.png



On the MSN Money website, it shows Brainchip ownership by Mutual Fund:

1661850211888.png





And also ownership of Brainchip shares by Institutions:

1661850270638.png



I'm not sure how current the data is on the MSN website, but these 2 lists are totally different to that shown on the Top 20 Shareholders list. Would anyone have any suggestions as to what insight the lists from the MSN website give us?

(I presume all these other entities hold BRN shares, which is good!)

Brainchip rely on the share register Boardroom to provide the list of top 20.

I would suggest you could send the two lists to Tony Dawe and ask him for clarification.

For mine the simple diagram and specs on the BRN website shows no specific M class and does not differentiate so I take that can be applied to any M class or should state M4/F or could be misleading so I'll take any M.

Upon a bit more investigation, I decided to look up the holdings of VAS - Vanguard Australian Shares ETF,. It appears that 0.06692% of the VAS ETF are made of Brainchip shares:

1661852840002.png


There are 127,633,853 VAS shares on issue, so0.06692% of this quantity is 85,412 shares. 85,412 shares at $87.29 each equals $7,455,663. 0.006692% of the market cap of VAS is also $7,455,663!

Although the numbers aren't quite the same as MSN monew website, there's definite evidence that Vanguard own BRN shares. The same would naturally apply to all the other entities on the lists.

Perhaps all of these entities are group in the likes of holdings such as Citicorp nominees, HSBC, BNP Paribas etc, hence the reason not to disclose substantial holdings?

OK, I've finished my baklava... :)

So, the major institutions currently hold 92,358,248 BRN shares, and Mutual funds hold 77,944,054 BRN shares. (Total 170,302,338 shares - pretty close to the total represented by Citicorp Nominees)

Its great to be a shareholder!

From the 2021 Ai Field Day presentation by Anil Mankar available on Brainchip website.
Anil Mankar said:

“…we do have a M4 class CPU here but the function of the CPU is to really manage all the peripherals, manage the configuration of the neural networks…”

Mutual Funds are a subset of Institutional Owners. Mutual Funds are a list of all the different funds you can invest in. Individual ETF's are usually listed on a bourse where the institutional owner collects fees for running it and the rest are internal investment funds for their own clients where they charge fees as well. As an example, all iShare ETF mutual funds are run by BlackRock as the institutional owner.

The MSN money list looks out of date. As we all know there has been a lot of institutional buying in the last couple of months. What intrigues me is Australian Super funds seem to own the bare minimum allowable according to their own fund rules. Having said that, a lot of the smaller super funds might be hidden inside the Institutions. Have a look at SYR below.

Late trade today is interesting? Seems like a ETF topped up?
