A slight correction: Renesas has already started taping out their product containing Akida.

eeNews Europe — Renesas is taping out a chip using the spiking neural network (SNN) technology developed by Brainchip.
Dec 2, 2022 – Nick Flaherty
This is part of a move to boost the leading edge performance of its chips for the Internet of Things, Sailesh Chittipeddi became Executive Vice President and General Manager of IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit at Renesas Electronics and the former CEO of IDT tells
eeNews Europe.
This strategy has seen the company develop the first silicon for ARM’s M85 and RISC-V cores, along with new capacity and foundry deals.
“We are very happy to be at the leading edge and now we have made a rapid transition to address our ARM shortfall but we realise the challenges in the marketplace and introduced the RISC-V products to make sure we don’t fall behind in the new architectures,” he said.
“Our next move is to more advanced technology nodes to push the microcontrollers into the gigahertz regime and that’s where the is overlap with microprocessors. The way I look at it is all about the system performance.”
“Now you have accelerators for driving AI with neural processing units rather than a dual core CPU. We are working with a third party taping out a device in December on 22nm CMOS,” said Chittipeddi.
Brainchip and Renesas signed a deal in December 2020 to implement the spiking neural network technology. Tools are vital for this new area. “The partner gives us the training tools that are needed,” he said.
I recall it was going to be available for mass production by the end of this financial year. So a top 5 micro-controller company in the world will be selling a product with Akida inside within the next 6 months. They sell millions and millions of them. I’ll dig about and edit this post if I can find time to look up corroborative evidence.
I‘m not sure why there is this constant need for continuous positive reinforcement by some. Read the information which has been spoon-fed over the last few years. Make an assessment of it’s accuracy and value. Why on earth would all the recent partners previously listed become partners if they didn’t intend to use Akida in their products? If you are satisfied with your knowledge learned then continue to buy more or hold. But please stop the negativity every 5 minutes. At times it’s like listening to drunks argue or children!
I am heavily invested in Brainchip and at the first sign of factual evidence the company is not travelling well I will sell. My opinion is that Brainchip is going extremely well so I will continue to hold. Global conditions are way more concerning than the company’s trajectory. I’d buy more but I’m currently cashed out!
