Pretty sure the article is an old one but Lyes from Sony just re-posted and was liked by Rob

The other day someone suggested Brainchip only had one product.
I think this is an inappropriate way to look at AKIDA technology.
AKIDA technology is at its heart a neural processing engine (NPE) AKD1000/AKIDA 1.0 whatever name you want to give it is made up of 80 of these Neural Processing Units (NPUs).
AKD1000 is designed to allow for 64 x AKD1000 to be ganged together and this would then be a semiconductor of 5,120 NPU’s
Brainchip has said they could if needed gang 1,024 AKD1000 chips together making a total of 81,920 NPU’s.
Renesas licenced just two nodes or 8 NPE’s.
Anil Mankar stated at the 2021 Ai Field Day that you could do keyword spotting with just one node if you did not have latency concerns but 1.5 to 2 nodes would likely be desirable and referenced Renesas.
MegaChips licensed an 80 NPU AKD1000 IP.
Edge Impulse is comparing AKD1000 with a GPU.
So my point is Brainchip does not have just one semiconductor it has on its IP shelf 81,920 variants of that semiconductor IP which can be sold for an ultra low powered single purpose MCU right through to a computing task requiring the computing power of 81,920 NPUs or 1,024 AKD1000 chips.
1,024 AKD1000 chips would give you the computing power of 1,024 GPUs for a total cost of $25,600 being 1,024 x $25.00.
As Peter van der Made said in his Pitt Street Research interview in 2021 ‘we are only just getting started.’
Something further occurred to me which if you doubt my proposition may convince you.
If you look up Intel’s Loihi 1 & 2 you will see the actual manifestation of what I am alluding to as they start with two Loihi chips to make their base product USB then gang together in different numbers to create further variants of Loihi with different Hawaiian names right up to their attempt at a full blown neuromorphic server and claim each one as a separate distinct product.
My opinion only DYOR

Hi Pmel, from my understanding they will be demonstrating Akida at their booths for clients, not presenting a keynote mentioning Akida. Hope this helps

Correct. That is exactly what the press release said.

I see this more as an announcement to Germany. Almost nothing is happening here despite or because of this government. Industry, no matter which one, is bad here for many. You can't understand that. But it was my first thought, why not make this announcement here? Over there they are more openly rational. And don't worry about Tesla it's perfectly normal that the big brother has to clear the way for all the other siblings, he has it the hardest. Everyone after that just has to follow the path.

To further comment on my post. As someone might ask where is Akida?
The Socionext CES "advanced AI" for custom automatic SoC solution for OEMs and tier-one automaker is AKIDA.
"BrainChip joins Socionext in the Vehicle Tech and Advanced Mobility Zone, located in the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall in Booth 10654. Socionext will be showcasing its leading-edge technologies and solutions in automotive imaging, AI, and smart sensing to help customers develop feature rich custom SoCs that enable product differentiation with an added competitive edge. Socionext has played an important role in the implementation of BrainChip’s AI technology in SoCs and the companies are working together to satisfy the need for AI in edge computing."
BrainChip Joins Technology Partners During CES to Demonstrate Capabilities of Akida-Powered Solutions
Stay informed about the latest innovations in AI technology and witness firsthand the transformative potential of BrainChip's solutions.

PS, Socionext might not have the fanfare of Qualcomm in presentation at CES, but the solution for future mobility is as good or better. Time will tells. "Exciting times!"

Many years ago Tesla demonstratively installed charging stations on the motorway between Audi, Audi Sport GmbH, MB and Porsche and all their suppliers. All managers of the aforementioned companies use this Autobahn. A clever move.

One final absolutely mind blowing FACT which I am struggling with but hopefully most recall the chart where AKD1000 at $US15.00 was compared with a Nvidia GPU at $US30,000.00.
I still have trouble with those numbers but consider this:
1. 1,024 x AKD1000 chips at $US15.00 is $US15,360.00, while
2. 1,024 x Nvidia GPU’s at $US30,000.00 is $US30,720,000.00
that is thirty million seven hundred and twenty thousand US dollars.
This is beyond understanding yet it is FACT.
It is why wombats who come here with there irrational fears and negativity are so pathetic and annoy the living daylights out of me now. It is just this obvious what Brainchip has achieved and we still have to suffer fools, liars and cheats.
This is like Bill Gates announcing he has cracked the Electric Vehicle market and he will be selling Tesla equivalent luxury models for $500.00 plus tax from today.

Got a 5th person in my friends/family group to buy BRN, they bought 3k worth at 77 cents near end of day

Yes you are spot on buddy. Me feel excited about how important our tech is in the industry...even if AMD aren't necessarily using us. Perhaps a competitor very soon?? We are in the box seat.
Interestingly R. B Benosman was co-founder of Prophesee. However, according to his profile he is 'no longer in contact' with them.
He is now Director of Research (Neuromorphic Event based sensing and computation) at Meta
Akida + Meta?https://www.linkedin.com/company/10667/

Mate it’s a slippery slope once they start accumulating BRN, soon it’ll be 10k a hit. Hope you warned them

This is fantastic from Soionext! There are so clues in the text featured, plus they show a more detail spec sheet on the video to be reviewed.
Yeah to @Fact Finder and the 1% or higher potential (and informative posts)!

I did, I said stfu and keep buying when you can in small amounts and pay me 10% commission at $10 sp
Don't forget about SiFive and their partners!
Although below is one area (automotive), with recent news of android supporting risc-v support... I am just amazed... now I just sit back and wait for the financials... https://www.xda-developers.com/google-officially-supports-risc-v/
Also just a reminder on below, which I've shared previously when I reached out to SiFive to let them know they forgot to list us in the partners section and didn't list us under automotive. Below was the response I got. I also confirmed with them whether I am allowed to share below which they confirmed (during last year).
"Reached out to some of the leadership here and got this reply:
"We focused on OS, SW & EDA Tools partners at the launch. There’s no specific work being done with Brainchip for automotive, but the combination of SiFive Automotive processors + Brainchip neuromorphic NN would make perfect sense there.""
