Here is a question asked by someone with intellect over on that other place:
"How does Loihi 2 compete with Akida 2?"
Do not answer this question straight away.
Take time to consider what you have been told about each to date.
Remember what Mike Davies said about Intel needing to simplify the process of training Loihi 2 so you do not need a Phd.
Think about the fact that Loihi 2 is a research chip and that it is a research chip because it does not yet give perfect performance every time.
Think about the fact that even at 7nm it did not match the performance of AKD1000.
Think about the fact that AKD1500 moved the goal posts further away from where Loihi 2 has placed its ball.
Keep thinking about all the little advantages we know as fact that AKD 1000 has over Loihi 2 and tomorrow when further details about AKIDA 2000 are released try and provide an answer to the above question if you can.

News article from a Wall street resource.
Chip sales that have declined across many customer segments are still enjoying one area of rising demand: cars.
Growing sales of electric vehicles—which tend to use more semiconductors than their gas-powered counterparts—coupled with greater automation of all vehicles, have kept producers of chips for cars busy. The long-term outlook for the market appears robust, Tesla Inc. TSLA 3.61%increase; green up pointing trianglesuggested this past week, as Chief Executive Elon Musk detailed plans for his car company to scale up to 20 million vehicles a year by 2030, from around 1.3 million in 2022.
“We’re consuming about 700,000 12-inch wafer equivalents,” Tesla’s supply-chain vice president Karn Budhiraj said Wednesday, referring to the material individual chips are made of. “We’re going to need 8 million wafers,” he added, once the company reaches its 20-million-car production target. Tesla also indicated it was working on ways to use fewer chips per vehicle and didn’t anticipate chip-making capacity as an impediment, given how that industry was expanding.
Chip executives say the growth in the number of chips going into cars has been staggering. As of 2021, the average car had about 1,200 chips, twice the number in 2010 and that figure is only likely to increase, executives said.

recently reported surging sales in their automotive divisions and gave strong outlooks for this year.
Marvell Technology Inc. MRVL -4.74%decrease; red down pointing triangleCEO Matthew Murphy on Thursday said auto-related revenue in the current quarter should grow over 30%, even as the company’s overall top line is projected to shrink. The company’s car-related chip sales could reach $500 million in coming years, from around $100 million today, he said.
NXP’s automotive-chip sales rose 25% last year, and the company said it is expecting around 15% growth in the first quarter of this year. Renesas’s automotive business climbed nearly 40% last year, and analysts expect more growth this quarter. Analog Devices, which gets almost a quarter of its sales from the automotive industry, reported 29% growth for that segment last year.

It isn’t just the cars themselves that are becoming more chip intensive; so is vehicle production as manufacturers embrace greater automation to deal with labor shortages and try to lower costs, semiconductor executives have said.
The boom in car chips contrasts with sharp declines in other sectors for chip makers, whose products go into electronics tied closely to consumer appetites. Americans have tightened their belts over the past several months, worried about rising interest rates and stubbornly high inflation.
Intel Corp., INTC 0.76%increase; green up pointing triangle
the largest U.S. chip maker by revenue, reported a fourth-quarter loss and is expecting another loss this quarter, hurt by flagging demand for the personal computers that its chips feature in. Rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is also contending with the choppy PC market, where industrywide shipments are expected to decline by 12.5% this year, according to a recent Morgan Stanley estimate.
Qualcomm Inc., QCOM -0.15%decrease; red down pointing triangle
known for its mobile-phone chips, illustrates how some chip suppliers are feeling both sides of the market dynamics. The company reported an 18% fall in handset revenue in its latest fiscal quarter, while automotive sales surged 58% to $456 million. Auto chips account for about 5% of the company’s overall revenue.
The resilience in car chips comes despite a historic fall in auto sales, which were the lowest in more than a decade in the U.S. last year. Sales have been constrained by supply-chain trouble, including a dearth of chips essential to a new generation of cars with an array of digitally enhanced features, from driver-assistance technology to automatic windshield-wiper controls. This year questions around demand have surfaced as consumers balk at high prices at dealerships.
The increased digitization of cars means even lower vehicle sales aren’t denting automotive-chip demand, said Kurt Sievers, CEO of NXP, one of the largest chip suppliers to the auto market. Market-share gains and the shift to electric vehicles have been enough to offset economic weakness and supply-chain issues that have limited car production, he said.
“It’s nice when [car production] is growing, but we do not need it to grow to make our automotive business grow,” Mr. Sievers said.
The wake-up moment for both chip and car company executives about how interconnected their fortunes have become came during the pandemic. Supply-chain disruptions spurred a global chip shortage that left some car makers with incomplete vehicles stranded on the production line. Rivian Automotive Inc. in its most recent earnings report attributed its muted sales outlook partly to chip-supply issues.
Still, there are signs that those pressures are starting to ease.
Average lead times for chips, including many chips crucial in car manufacturing, were down by about four days in January compared with the prior month, according to analysts at Susquehanna International Group LLP, indicating an easing of constraints. Lead times, which measure how long it takes to fulfill orders, have fallen for seven months straight, Susquehanna said, although the industry average lead time is still nearly six months.

Intel's biggest problem with Loihi is software. There is more to BRN's 3 year lead over competitors than just comparing hardware.

Chat GPT reckons:
BrainChip has partnered with several companies to integrate its Akida chip into their products. For example, they have partnered with the German company, Infineon, to integrate the Akida chip into Infineon's REAL3 ToF (Time of Flight) 3D image sensor for use in smartphones and other devices.
ToF 3D image sensors - Infineon Technologies
Infineon’s REAL3™ 3D ToF sensor family is sunlight-robust, highly scalable and ready for integration into consumer, industrial and automotive applicationswww.infineon.com
The Infineon tech was used for Dreame's W10 vacuum robot. Maybe they have more new products.
Infineon’s REAL3™ ToF imager enables advanced obstacle avoidance and smart navigation in DREAME’s new vacuum cleaning robot W10 Pro

Mmmm... I haven't put much thought into this but just see if this checks out.
"AKD1000 is our first generation technology.
This also includes Akida 1500 which is based on the same technology.
Our second generation technology is called Akida 2.0 .
Regards
Tony "
This precludes AKD1500 from ever being rebranded to AKIDA 1.5 - Tony states that AKD1500 is based on Akida 1.0.
For me it seems not enough distinction is being made between the Akida IP and the Akida Reference chips.
And that is what the "version" numbers vs "product/reference chip" numbers are.
Akida 1.0 IP
- AKD 1000 reference chip
- AKD 1500 reference chip
Akida 2.0 IP
- ?? reference chip

A formal platform launch press release, will take place on,
7 March at 1:00am AEDT, 6 March at 6:00am US PST.
In other words, 9.00am New York time.
Half an hour before the market opens on the NYSE.
I can't help thinking, there is more to come. ??

Hey Kozikan, that question to Peter was regarding the ARM Partnership and yes he said if an ARM customer signs up they get $1M payment upfront followed by royalties typically 3-4 years later.

My thoughts exactly .
Akida 1.0 refers to the IP.
Akida 1000 / 1500 refers to the reference chip.
Akida 2.0 is the latest IP.
