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 node. AKD1000/AKIDA 1.0 whatever name you want to give it is made up of 80 of these nodes.
AKD1000 is designed to allow for 64 x AKD1000 to be ganged together and this would then be a semiconductor of 5,120 nodes.
Brainchip has said they could if needed gang 1,024 AKD1000 chips together making a total of 81,920 nodes.
Renesas licenced just two nodes.
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 node 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 nodes 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.

AKIDA BALLISTA
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.
