And that would have been due to the high cost of colour TV's at the beginning.I remember a small period of time when Black & White TV competed with Colour TV.
Great thing about Akida it's cheap.

This is one reason I don't give two bob's about Warren BuffettDid I ever mention what capturing one tiny percent of the 70 billion Edge market will be worth by 2025.
Did I mention what capturing one eighth of one percent of the GPU market will be worth by 2028.
Finally did anyone official from Brainchip ever suggest that AKIDA
IP would grace Snapdragon 8.
NO apart from a few over enthusiastic posters it has never been suggested officially or unofficially by anyone employed by Brainchip that Snapdragon 8 was a thing to keep fingers crossed about.
If you are going to worry about this then you might as well worry about every other company that has not been mentioned by Brainchip.
It is one thing to have genuine concerns about something the company has stated and failed to deliver but this is not a genuine debate.
Why are we not worried about Warren Buffet electing to buy shares in TSMC when he could have bought Brainchip?
Why are we not worried about Tesla not throwing away the technology it has spent billions upon billions developing and implementing 100 AKIDA 1000 chips.
This debate makes as much sense as two drunks getting into a punch up over whether if aliens invaded Earth they would use death rays or lasers to destroy humanity.
It is a completely fake manufactured argument like the one you have with your children when they are getting to the age where they are questioning if Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny exist.
A PAIR OF RECENT FACTS:
1. Published that Nvidia is the global leader in Artificial Intelligence by a country mile.
2. Published by Edge Impulse that AKIDA running at 300 megahertz out performs Nvidia GPU running at 900 megahertz.
3. Unpublished fact that Qualcomm has an entry in this race because it does not.
4. The Snapdragon NPU at 4nm has achieved a 60% performance gain over its earlier iterations.
5. At 28nm AKIDA is the stuff of science fiction and at 4nm it would be off the planet.

The reality is a share price back in the 60c range and not much in the way of receipts... yet. Puffery, doesn't increase the value of my shares. Revenue does. "The Burgers are best at hungry Jacks".... yet nobody is taking legal action against them. Grow up.
Could someone please call Markus Shaefer to let him know that its probably a good idea if he refers to Neuromorphic Computing as "sexy" in his blog, because this is what everyone else is saying about it.
In addition, all us of us sexy people on TSEX will really appreciate it.

In before you get called a misogynistUnsubstantiated information? Have Qualcomm not used SNN technology that they developed themselves over Akida? Until a couple of days ago... I didn't think anything came close to Akida's performance? I'm trying to generate some discussion around that... hoping for constructive comments (such as from Diogenese) to help me understand my investment vs competitors. Nothing more, nothing less. Get off you #$%^ soapbox WILZY123 and have a little consideration for other investors who may not have the luxury of extended time frames to continue waiting year on year for some of these dots to connect. You've had nothing constructive to comment on, other than belittling or abusive posts... something I'd expect on that other forum.
It’s actually getting really annoying that as soon as someone spots “edge” or AI, without any context they post it. I’ve talked about this before, at least google for another 60 seconds before throwing irrelevant “dot joins” down. This is exactly why UIUX was pissed and probably another reason why he is mia. He literally made another thread for “this might be akida”I think I would add verified company releases not just on the ASX otherwise you discount any value to the partnerships with ARM, Prophesee, Edge Impulse etc;
I also raised my concerns that people elevating dots like the Snapdragon 8 in initial commentary to the level of fact would lead to shareholders feeling as @Fenris78 apparently does.
So here we are with all the rock solid known factual information having a debate about Snapdragon 8 when there is a global market of thousands of industrial players where AKIDA can be finding a place to dominate.
ARM has over 1,000 technology partners and 55 million engineers engaged with its platforms.
Edge Impulse with over 55,000 engineers on it’s books proclaiming to them and the rest of the tech world that AKIDA is the stuff of science fiction.
MegaChips filling its shareholder reports with Brainchip and AKIDA.
Prophesee saying their house of straw was instantly turned into double brick with DOUBLE GLAZED landscape windows upon the introduction of AKIDA magic.
ISL celebrating AKIDA neuromorphic computing and winning DARPA competitions.
Mercedes Benz embracing AKIDA neuromorphic computing.
And now with much more than this short list we are having a pointless discussion about Snapdragon 8.
If you want to look at Qualcomm’s track record on claims about Snapdragon in the past many times before it has made bold claims only to fall well short.
If anyone wants to know if Qualcomm and Snapdragon 8 have crossed the huge technology gap to AKIDA and are shareholders send a polite email to Tony Dawe at Brainchip Investor Relations or you could take the word of an anonymous old technophobe on social media who has absolutely no idea that it is yet another crock of technology sh-te making performance claims so far from the science fiction levels of AKIDA it is not even worthy of serving at AKIDA’s table let alone being given a seat.

F@#$ youDidn't have the heart to tell the poor deceiving fella
I like this FF as it points to another common problem and or limitation that AKIDA provides a solution for. Besides market leading neuromorphic AI technology AKIDA also brings a raft of equally important and impressive secondary benefits. These features sit outside of what a company seeking a competitive AI advantage typically may consider. But in their own right bring just as much value for customers looking for new ways to solve traditional industry problems and restrictions.Did somebody say AKIDA hardly generates any heat???
“Graphics card-maker Nvidia is investigating reports its latest cards may be causing power cables to melt.
Social-media users posted photos online appearing to show damage to the cable used to power the Nvidia RTX 4090, launched in October 2022.
They claimed the graphics card, which retails for £1,699, was "melting" the adapter supplied in the box.
Nvidia told BBC News it was looking into the claims.
"We continue to investigate the reports - however, we don't have further details to share yet," it said”
ProbThough, I have been guilty of reading too much on these forums and sending myself down rabbit holes. Prob something that I need to take a break from
Please stop gaslighting the community here. No-one is stopping you from conducting research. But simply demanding we research your gaslighting questions is not our role.F@#$ you
Your incorrigible wilzy, ha ha ha ha, thought I had low tolerance love itProb
I had to look that word up.incorrigible
come on mate, salad and milo will be back soonI had to look that word up.
Dumb is dumb. I'm not about to magically change my point of view on dumb after exchanging more dumb words.
Anyway... cbf wasting anymore time on this. It's boring and not relevant.
A lot of IMEC NN stuff is MemRistor based including NNs.Saw this article in a Google search and did a quick word search on TSE to see IMEC popped up occasionally but didn't appear that much discussion around it.
Has anyone looked into much as they're bullish on neuromorphic and curious of any overlap to Akida or even use?
Their results support, as we know already, the benefits of SNN.
I recall someone, maybe bravo, posted that Simon Thorpe had presented at the IMEC academy at one point?
Edit. As a side note imo everyone's views should be respected, within reason, as others have pointed out, otherwise maybe a private invite only forum should be set up or this won't be a public open forum for discussion, questions and ideas, just one way traffic.

Imec’s spiking neural network (SNN) chip combines low latency and energy consumption with high accuracy
Summary
In April 2020, imec researchers introduced the world’s first chip to process radar signals using a spiking recurrent neural network (SNN)
At the time of the announcement, the chip showed to consume up to a hundred times less power than traditional implementations – while featuring a tenfold reduction in latency.
Today, a study confirms that imec’s SNN also ranks amongst the top performers in terms of (inference) accuracy.
In April 2020, imec introduced the world’s first chip to process radar signals using a spiking recurrent neural network (SNN). Its flagship use-case? The creation of a smart, low-power multi-sensor perception system for drones that identifies obstacles in a matter of milliseconds.
Contrary to the artificial neural networks that are a key ingredient of today’s robotics perception systems, SNNs mimic the way groups of biological neurons operate – firing electrical pulses sparsely over time, and, in the case of biological sensory neurons, only when the sensory input changes. It is an approach that comes with important benefits: at the time of the announcement, imec’s SNN chip showed to consume up to a hundred times less power than traditional implementations while featuring a tenfold reduction in latency – enabling almost instantaneous decision-making.
In the following article, Ilja Ocket – program manager of neuromorphic sensing at imec – provides more insights into some of imec’s recent advances in this domain.
Optimizing and scaling up the original SNN chip
In the last year, imec has been optimizing and scaling up its original SNN chip – the details of which were recently published in ‘Frontiers in Neuroscience’ – to host a variety of (IoT and autonomous robotics) use-cases. The chip builds on an entirely event-based digital architecture, and was implemented in low-cost 40nm CMOS technology. It supports event-driven processing and relies on local on-demand oscillators and a novel delay-cell to avoid the use of a global clock. Moreover, it does not exploit separate memory blocks; instead, memory and computation are co-localized in the IC area to avoid data access and energy overheads.
Imec’s SNN ranks amongst the top performers in terms of inference accuracy
Meanwhile, research with the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science (CWI), confirms that spiking neurons with adaptive thresholds can be trained to achieve top-notch inference accuracy. A comprehensive study conducted by imec and CWI aimed to benchmark SNNs using adaptive neurons against six other neural networks. To do so, eight different data sets were used – including Google’s radar (SoLi) and Google’s speech datasets. The study clearly pointed out that SNNs using neurons with adaptive thresholds can achieve a low energy consumption, but not at the expense of a decreased inference accuracy. On the contrary: for each of the major data sets used in the study, the imec SNN ranked amongst the top performers in terms of accuracy.

“SNN technology will find its way in a broad range of use-cases: from smart, self-learning Internet of Things (IoT) devices – such as wearables and brain-computer interface applications – to autonomous drones and robots. But each of those use-cases comes with its own set of requirements”, says Ilja Ocket. “While spiking neural networks for IoT applications should excel at operating within a very small power budget, autonomous drones demand a low-latency SNN that allows them to avoid obstacles quickly and effectively.”
“Addressing those requirements using a one-size-fits-all SNN architecture is extremely challenging. A delicate balance needs to be struck between energy consumption, latency, accuracy, cost (chip area) and scalability. For example, an SNN with the lowest possible energy consumption and latency typically results in an increased chip area – and vice versa. Finding that balance is one of imec’s SNN focus areas.”
Going forward: spiking all the way
Drones are being used in an increasing number of application domains. Still, to improve their level of autonomy and to have them operate in more challenging environments (such as bad weather conditions), their sensing capabilities require yet another boost. According to Ilja Ocket, an end-to-end spiking approach – based on fused neuromorphic radar and camera inputs – might offer a way out.
Ilja Ocket: “This obviously makes for a highly energy-efficient and super low latency system. Today, however, in order to connect such cameras to the underlying AI, one still needs to translate their feed into frames – which significantly limits the efficiency gains. That is why we are investigating how the spiking concept can be implemented end-to-end: from the cameras and sensors to the AI engine. We are actually the first ones to do so, with very promising results so far. To that end, we are still looking for companies from across the drone industry – such as OEM drone builders – to join our program and experiment with this exciting technology.”
