BRN Discussion Ongoing

[TECH]

Nice way to start our week...Yet another major ecosystem alliance signed off on.

The names are slowly being drawn together, how many more are just approaching the "Event (based) Horizon".

Positivity attracts Positivity, Success will ultimately attract Success.

Akida is working its magic; I do know that Peter has a lot of respect for Mike Davies, so this is yet another very good sign as we
move forward in our journey.

But once again, the ASX is only looking for one thing, the day will come, within 24 months, when our 4C truly reflects all the work that
is going on behind the scenes.

As someone pointed out to me very recently, you can be waiting for a bus, waiting and waiting and finally 5 buses turn up altogether, as
in, 1 after the other.... over the years our announcements have formed a very similar pattern, so don't fall asleep, you may well miss the bus!

Have a nice day.

[Bravo]

Hi @Fact Finder,

Yes, and I also think its very interesting that all three of these companies are listed in the EDA Alliance as current partners of Intel Foundry Services (IFS) Accelerator ECOSYSTEM.

EDA = Electronic Design Automation (EDA) suppliers.

Just a happy co-incidence I guess.

IFS ECOSYTEM (as above). Yeeehaaw!

 

[Fullmoonfever]

Solid, welcome positive news.

As we know, it will take some time for the mkt to absorb and decide how to value the connection given there can be no $ attached at this time, merely an additional path to mkt and a wider customer audience with the support of Intel which will inevitably add $ at some point.

Appears clear to me that BRN have adopted the approach of regulatory and price sensitive Anns only and anything else will be by news release / SM. IMO this is unfortunate as relationships like this should be Ann'd to show the "investor" mkt the great gains the Mgt Team are making, but respect that everyone has their own views on this.

Having said that, Intel shared their roadmap at their Investor Meeting this year as below fwiw and we can see where we could benefit ourselves and Intel / their client base via some possible crossover areas now we're in Intels orbit.

https://teletimesinternational.com/2022/intel-investor-meeting-2022/

At Intel’s 2022 Investor Meeting, Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger and Intel’s business leaders outlined key elements of the company’s strategy and path for long-term growth. Intel’s long-term plans will capitalize on transformative growth during an era of unprecedented demand for semiconductors. Among the presentations, Intel announced product roadmaps across its major business units and key execution milestones, including:

• Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics
• Intel Foundry Services
• Software and Advanced Technology
• Network and Edge
• Technology Development

Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics

The Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics Group (AXG) is on track to ship products across its three segments and deliver more than $1 billion in revenue in 2022. As a growth engine for Intel, AXG’s three segments together will approach $10 billion of revenue for Intel by 2026.

• Visual Compute Roadmap and Strategy
  • Intel Arc Graphics Timing and Roadmap Update – AXG expects to ship more than 4 million discrete GPUs in 2022. OEMs are introducing notebooks with Intel Arc graphics, code-named Alchemist, for sale in the first quarter of 2022. Intel will ship add-in cards for desktops in the second quarter and workstations by the third quarter. Architecture work has begun on Celestial, a product that will address the ultra-enthusiast segment.
  • Project Endgame – Project Endgame will enable users to access Intel Arc GPUs through a service for an always-accessible, low-latency computing experience. Project Endgame will be available later this year.

Building on this foundation, AXG is extending to higher compute and memory bandwidth and will deliver a leadership CPU and GPU roadmap to power high performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads. To date, Intel expects more than 35 HPC-AI design wins from top OEMs and CSPs. Additionally, AXG has set a course that paves the way to zetta-scale by 2027.
  • Sapphire Rapids with High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) – HBM integrated into the package with Sapphire Rapids offers applications up to 4x more memory bandwidth, providing a generational improvement of 2.8x over Intel 3rd Gen Xeon processors. On the same computational fluid dynamics application, Sapphire Rapids with HBM outperforms competing solutions by up to 2.8x.
  • Ponte Vecchio – AXG is on track to deliver Ponte Vecchio GPUs for the Aurora supercomputer program later this year. Ponte Vecchio achieved leadership performance results with up to 2.6x more performance compared with the leading market solution on a complex financial services workload.
  • Arctic Sound-M – Arctic Sound-M brings the industry’s first hardware-based AV1 encoder into a GPU to provide 30% bandwidth improvement and includes the industry’s only open-sourced media solution. The media and analytics supercomputer enables leadership transcode quality, streaming density and cloud gaming. Arctic-Sound M is sampling to customers and will ship by mid-2022.
  • Falcon Shores – Falcon Shores is a new architecture that will bring x86 and Xe GPU together into a single socket. This architecture is targeted for 2024 and projected to deliver benefits of more than 5x performance-per-watt, 5x compute density, 5x memory capacity and bandwidth improvements.1
• Custom Compute Group – AXG’s Custom Compute Group will build tailored products for emerging workloads such as blockchain, supercomputing at the edge, premium infotainment for cars, immersive displays and more.

Intel Foundry Services

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation, as vehicles become electric, safer, smarter and more connected. These trends are driving considerable growth, with automotive silicon revenues expected to nearly double to $115 billion by 2030. The fragmented supply chains and legacy process technologies of today will not be able to support the increasing demand and the transition to more compute-intensive applications. In response, Intel Foundry Services (IFS) is forming a dedicated automotive group to deliver a complete solution to automakers with three clear priorities:

• Open Central Compute Architecture – IFS will develop a high-performance open auto compute platform that enables automotive OEMs to build next-generation experiences and solutions. This open compute architecture will leverage chiplet-based building blocks, along with Intel’s advanced packaging technologies, providing significant flexibility to build solutions optimized for technology nodes, algorithms, software and applications that address the compute needs of next-generation vehicles.
• Automotive-Grade Foundry Platform – Intel will enable manufacturing technologies that meet the stringent quality requirements of automotive applications and customers. IFS is targeting both leading-edge nodes and technologies optimized for microcontrollers and unique automotive needs, in combination with advanced packaging, to help customers design multiple types of automotive semiconductors. A partnership with Mobileye, a leader in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) solutions with deep experience in automotive-grade products, is enabling IFS to deliver its advanced technology nodes for the automotive segment.
• Enabling Transition to Advanced Technologies – IFS will offer design services and Intel IP to automakers, enabling them to take advantage of Intel’s expertise from silicon to system design. The IFS Accelerator automotive program, announced last year, is designed to help automotive chipmakers transition to advanced process and packaging technologies and innovate with Intel’s custom and industry-standard IP portfolio.

Software and Advanced Technology

Software is a key component of Intel’s competitive advantage that adds value across the stack for Intel’s client, edge, cloud and data center businesses. Intel’s approach to foster an open ecosystem ensures trust, choice and interoperability for our industry and acts as a catalyst for technological adoption and innovation. Intel’s investments in software also present opportunities for growth that are both disruptive and transformative.

• Cross-Platform, Open Development – Intel oneAPI toolkits deliver a cross-platform, open programming model that unleashes developers to solve unique challenges with optimized performance.
• Solving Challenges with AI – The convergence of security and AI demonstrates the incredible promise of open and collaborative frameworks that help protect data while gathering insights. Intel® Core™ processors and Intel® vPRO™ systems using Intel® Threat Detection Technology detect malware behavior below the operating system and feed those insights to endpoint detection and response solutions. For confidential computing in the cloud, 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® Software Guard Extensions protect data and AI models so data can be aggregated and greater insights can be gathered to solve challenging problems, such as identifying brain tumors.

Network and Edge

Networking and edge computing is a quickly growing industry. To accelerate growth in this market and drive the shift toward software-defined and fully programmable infrastructure, Intel created the Network and Edge Group (NEX) in 2021. Intel expects networking and edge revenue to grow at a faster rate than overall TAM over the next decade and be a significant contributor to the company’s overall growth. To take advantage of this opportunity, NEX is producing programmable hardware and open software from the cloud through the internet and 5G networks to the intelligent edge.

• Intelligent Fabric – Intel® Intelligent Fabric is programmable platform that allows customers to advance business opportunities by programming network behavior from end to end, through the infrastructure within the data center. It puts control in the hands of customers, giving them the means to program the network. This lets customers constantly evolve, improve and differentiate their infrastructure for themselves and creates a future where a new class of computing device, the Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU), can be integrated into data centers, accelerating cloud infrastructure and maximizing performance.
• Mobile Network Transformation – Intel has led the transformation of telecommunications networks for more than a decade, propellingthe world’s networks away from legacy, fixed-function hardware and enabling them to be defined by open and interoperable software. Intel’s ambition is to provide its customers with the industry’s absolute best and broadest programmable platforms to advance business opportunities, putting control in the hands of the developers to support the buildout of 5G and beyond.
• Accelerating the Intelligent Edge – Intel offers a diverse portfolio of hardware and software offerings and a vast ecosystem of partners to help customers deliver intelligent edge platforms. Enabling new use cases and workloads across a range of vertical industry markets, NEX is positioned to meet the growing need for compute and analytics at the intelligent edge. AI – specifically inferencing at the edge – provides actionable intelligence where and when the data happens. As such, it is becoming the most prolific use case at the edge, transforming and automating factories, smart cities, hospitals and more.

Technology Development

Intel remains on track to reclaim transistor performance per watt leadership by 2025. Intel’s advanced test and packaging technologies give it unmatched industry leadership that benefits its products and foundry customers and will play a critical part in the pursuit of Moore’s Law. Continuous innovation is the cornerstone of Moore’s Law, and innovation is very much alive and well at Intel.

• Process – Intel 7 is in production and shipping in volume with the launch of 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and additional products coming in 2022. Intel 4, our implementation of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, will be manufacturing-ready in the second half of 2022. It delivers an approximate 20% increase in transistor performance per watt. Intel 3, with additional features, delivers a further 18% performance per watt and will be manufacturing-ready in the second half of 2023. Ushering in the Angstrom Era with RibbonFET and PowerVia, Intel 20A will deliver up to a 15% performance per watt improvement and will be manufacturing-ready in the first half of 2024. Intel 18A delivers an additional 10% improvement and will be manufacturing-ready in the second half of 2024.
• Packaging – Our advanced packaging leadership gives designers options across thermals, power, high-speed signaling and interconnect density, to maximize and co-optimize product performance. In 2022, Intel will ship leadership packaging technologies in Sapphire Rapids and Ponte Vecchio and start risk production on Meteor Lake. Foveros Omni and Foveros Direct, our advanced packaging technologies unveiled at Intel Accelerated in July 2021, will be manufacturing-ready in 2023.
• Innovation – As Intel looks forward to technologies such as High-NA EUV, RibbonFET, PowerVia, and Foveros Omni and Direct, its leaders see no end to innovation and therefore no end to Moore’s Law. Intel remains undeterred in achieving its aspiration of delivering approximately 1 trillion transistors in a single device by the end of the decade.

 

[DollazAndSense]

I’ve always been ultra conservative and didn’t believe in the 3 year minimum lead. After today’s news, it’s really put me in my place.

Why would Intel agree to the use of our IP in their ecosystem, if their technology was even remotely close to advancing from a research chip to a commercial one? Simple answer and one that should be music to all holders’ ears.

 

[buena suerte :-)]

A bit of fun for a Monday

Fantastic news!!! GO BRN

Have a great week Chippers

Yeah this is something I'd always taken with a grain of salt until today.
It was obvious we we're first to market, but like most things I thought our lead would be eroded whilst sourcing partners and customers.

This is clearly not the case, and you have phrased it perfectly.
If Loihi 2 was just around the corner they would never do this.

It also opens the door to the idea of NDA's and EAP programs with Intel.
It takes a competitor and transforms them into a partner and this is amazing.

Good point D, and from this announcement we can say that BRN has been derisked due to less competition. Maybe Loihis research status was already news to the 1000 eyes but a lot of less informed investors and in the industry will piecing it together, maybe even a WANCA or two

 

[Damo4]

Not sure about anyone else's watchlist but BRN is my only green boi

 

[Izzzzzzzzzzy]

BRN number 1 in midcap advancers

 

[mcm]

BRN number 1 in midcap advancers

Hopefully will finish in the seventies by close. Heartening to see no pull backs ... just a gradual consistent increase in the SP as today's momentous news encourages those who know to buy in or increase their holding ... because Intel's validation of Akida is huge.

 

[alwaysgreen]

Yeah baby

 

[rgupta]

what anyone's theory for why Brainchip announced the partnership with Intel on a sunday?

I assume AFRL wants their product to be manufactured in US only.
So pressure was on Intel as well as brainchip to move in same direction.
I am guessing a takeover bid from Intel or someone else is around the corner now.
It clearly shows Intel is no where near brainchip on their research about SNNs.

 

[Izzzzzzzzzzy]

Hmmmm maybe the partnership was needed for department of defence to be sold shit and the relations intel has with them for “chips” (DoD)

Especially since Intel don’t really have a solution for that

Maybe Techs $10 takeover bid was on the money

This is a very exciting day. Hopefully back up over $1 as a little Xmas gift to shareholders.
