@Diogenese what’s your thoughts on this video regarding snapdragon and after taking into account what was said on the Prophesee Brainchip podcast about Brainchip being the other half of the story they were needing to make it so great?

We know that the Prophesee Brainchip relationship dates back to at least mid 2021 and the Prophesee Qualcomm relationship could pre date that, but it just seems that it is likely containing some akida?

@chapman89 and @Diogenese

I’m off work with an injured back at the moment so I have a bit of time up my sleeve.

I‘m watching the rest of the Qualcomm video. It gets interesting at the 50.12 mark when he starts talking about ”Always on” reading just 1’s and zeros and neural network. He talks about support for third party neural network experiences.

While I'm not going to say it's 100% AKIDA, with the wording and the dot joining and what we offer, I'm happy to go out on a limb and say while we aren't 100% sure, I'm feeling 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% confident.

• Blur has been discussed on podcast with Prophsee
• Unique sensor "only outputs data when there's an event". We do that, so how can it be unique if not AKIDA?
• Unique because it works on "really really low power" sound like anyone else ?
• I wonder what, "you'll see this really soon means?"

Watching the video it really highlights how AKIDA can do what it does. Nothing is highlighted behind Louis because it's static. If someone or something moves behind him, it would be an event so suddenly it would become pixeled. Maybe you could say AKIDA is so unique for not what it does, but what it's able to ignore? I remember watching a doco on the brain years ago and that it was saying that the eye/brain doesn't really see your house as you think it does, it actually only has a memory of what it should be, then it picks up what is different and highlights that to you. My wife would say my brain forgets to pick up the washing, dishes, and undies on the floor.........

I certainly hope so @chapman89 because if so, we'll be in Samsung's Galaxy devices until 2030!

Laguna Hills, Calif. – June 14, 2022 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI IP, and Prophesee, the inventor of the world’s most advanced neuromorphic vision systems, today announced a technology partnership that delivers next-generation platforms for OEMs looking to integrate event-based vision systems with high levels of AI performance coupled with ultra-low power technologies.
...
“We’ve successfully ported the data from Prophesee’s neuromorphic-based camera sensor to process inference on Akida with impressive performance,” said Anil Mankar, Co-Founder and CDO of BrainChip. “This combination of intelligent vision sensors with Akida’s ability to process data with unparalleled efficiency, precision and economy of energy at the point of acquisition truly advances state-of-the-art AI enablement and offers manufacturers a ready-to-implement solution.”

“By combining our Metavision solution with Akida-based IP, we are better able to deliver a complete high-performance and ultra-low power solution to OEMs looking to leverage edge-based visual technologies as part of their product offerings, said Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee.”



Back in 2021, Qualcomm thought their new Snapdragon would include Nuvia/ARM refinements:

Qualcomm prophesizes 2023 as the rebirth of PC Snapdragon chips​

Nuvia CPUs and desktop gaming graphics? Qualcomm thinks its future is bright.

By Mark Hachman
Senior Editor, PCWorld NOV 16, 2021 10:30 AM PST

Qualcomm processors for PCs enhanced by the company’s Nuvia design team will sample in 2022 for devices shipping in 2023, Qualcomm executives said Tuesday. The company also boldly pledged to offer Adreno graphics that could compete with desktop PCs.

At the company’s 2021 investor day in New York, Dr. James Thompson, chief technology officer at Qualcomm, offered an overview of the company’s technology roadmap in several areas. A key focus, naturally, will be how and when Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors will integrate the Nuvia design team, an Arm CPU developer that Qualcomm acquired in January.

Processor development takes time, however, and that integration won’t happen immediately. “They’re pretty far along at this point,” Thompson said, presumably talking about the first Snapdragon processors featuring Nuvia technology. “We’ll be sampling a product nine months from now, or something like that.”
...
Thompson also claimed that the company’s graphics technology was on pace to improve, too. In terms of the Adreno integrated graphics core onboard the Snapdragon chips, Qualcomm performs somewhat better against the competition than its CPUs at present—somewhere between an 8th-gen and a 10th-gen Intel Core processor, when measured by the 3DMark “Night Raid” benchmark.
Thompson, though, said that Qualcomm could do better. “I just want to make it clear that our graphics will scale up to desktop-style gaming capabilities,” he told investors. He didn’t elaborate further.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adreno
Adreno (an anagram of AMD's graphic card brand Radeon), was originally developed by ATI Technologies and sold to Qualcomm in 2009 for $65M,[1][2] and was used in their mobile chipset products. Early Adreno models included the Adreno 100 and 110, which had 2D graphics acceleration and limited multimedia capabilities. At the time, 3D graphics on mobile platforms were commonly handled using software-based rendering engines, which limited their performance. With growing demand for more advanced multimedia and 3D graphics capabilities, Qualcomm licensed the Imageon IP from AMD, in order to add hardware-accelerated 3D capabilities to their mobile products.[3] Further collaboration with AMD resulted in the development of the Adreno 200, originally named the AMD Z430, based on the R400[4] architecture used in the Xenos GPU of the Xbox 360 video game console[5] and released in 2008, which was integrated into the first Snapdragon SoC. In January 2009, AMD sold their entire Imageon handheld device graphics division to Qualcomm.[6]

So Qualcomm use an in-house graphics core, which was initially designed by Imhotep.

Given Qualcomm's legal bust-up with ARM, I would think they would be scrambling to cover their embarrassment, and it's possible that Prophesee may be the link to Akida.

Hi @Dhm

I think the whole point of Prophesee was that it doesn’t operate at FPS. I’m not the most qualified to speak of this but FPS is the old/usual method. Like when you could draw little action pictures on the bottom corner of a book and then flip the pages to create a moving pictures. The faster you would flip the pages increased the FPS. Thats what we did as kids; it was fun!

Prophesee has the shutter constantly open, which allows more light in, whereas to capture fast images you need a faster shutter speed but then less light enters the aperture and it is a darker image. It only acknowledges changes in the image. I think that’s why it’s 1000fps equivalent: because the frame or opening and closing of the shutter doesn’t actually occur.

Brainchip complements that process by also only acknowledging the changes in the image.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong with my understanding of this.

Cheers!

"The faster you would flip the pages increased the FPS. That's what we did as kids; it was fun!"

Remember it very well SG ...

Hey GUYS

Basically AKIDA is the Bomb, and Mercedes has just put us on the same level as Intel (well maybe it was alphabetical but they put us first lol ) and Prophasee is linked to snapdragon Gen8 v2 or v3 which we are 99.999999999999999999% sure is AKIDA. So all your Samsung's phones plus a heap of others. But there is still a .00000000000001% chance the guy promoting Snapdragon called our partner Prophsee's tech as Unique because they are using someone else and not AKIDA. Just nobody knows who that could be........

Other than that, not a great deal in the last 6 hours ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I‘m watching the rest of the Qualcomm video. It gets interesting at the 50.12 mark when he starts talking about ”Always on” reading just 1’s and zeros and neural network. He talks about support for third party neural network experiences.
