Speck™ is a fully event-driven neuromorphic vision SoC. Speck™ is able to support large-scale spiking convolutional neural network (sCNN) with a fully asynchronous chip architecture. Speck™ is fully configurable with the spiking neuron capacity of 320K. Furthermore, it integrates the state-of-art dynamic vision sensor (DVS) that enables fully event-driven based, real-time, highly integrated solution for varies dynamic visual scene. For classical applications, Speck™ can provide intelligence upon the scene at only mWs with a response latency in few ms.
Prophesee partnered with SynSense in 2021 to develop a one chip event based smart sensing solution for low power edge AI.

Prophesee CEO has mentioned BrainChip is a perfect fit for their event based camera vision sensor.
Qualcomm have recently partnered with Prophesee which has been working with Snapdragon processors since 2018.

Qualcomm mentioned Prophesee event based cameras will be launched this year in their recent presentation, however, there was no mention of SynSense's Speck.
It's a puzzle this one. Unless Qualcomm will use Prophesee's metavision event based sensor only with their own processor suitable for neuromorphic SNN if they have one.
I am intrigued because the smartphone market dominated by Qualcomm will result in big revenue for BRN if Akida IP is embedded in their chip for Prophesee's event based camera. It took ARM nearly 10 years from when they started to get into smartphones.
