BrainChip’s second-gen neuromorphic silicon gunning for the big boys - Rethink
Neuromorphic chip designer BrainChip has unveiled the second generation of its Akida platform. Taking inspiration from the human brain, these chips promise to slash the compute costs burdening enterprises and operators, by moving those workloads into bespoke edgy silicon, and out of expensive...rethinkresearch.biz
We are a broad and disparate (only occasionally desperate) group, who welcome all sorts of scallywags, snake oil salespersons, jokers, dot joiners, researchers, mock engineers, self styled technical analysts, amateur patent sleuths and retired lawyers.Aren't most here long term holders? Does this really matter? Technicals doesn't work for the vast majority.
I admit I did a tactical exit at 1.59 and re-entry at an average of 0.7, but that was because of too many new investors and a 2021 report that would look very red to them, so a guaranteed drop.
I would never act on technicals, especially on a stock that can move so much on news.
Very interesting company particularly across medical devices. In their pdf section I found this paper accessible through the following link discussing reducing battery use through sleep modes. We all know that one of AKIDA's many advantages is how it is never asleep but only burns power when a defined event occurs that it has to process making it the ideal choice when trying to extend battery life:Site does not support https just a warning for those who click.

Of course there are many other posters making fantastic contributions and research. I am in awe of you all!!I have a category of saved posts called "another great factfinder post!!!![]()
Here are some Accenture vids from about 2 years ago.Accenture CTO, Jean-Luc Chatelain, was a guest on a recent podcast, so I was very interested to discover this announcement a couple of days ago that Accenture and TELUS have teamed up. Is it just me or can anyone else see where neuromorphic computing could benefit this partnership?
Oh, and TELUS are a communications company too...
Telus more, I say!

Yes there are quite a few products on that site which akida could enhance to new levels which were not possible before. And why is it not happening if akida is the best thing since sliced bread... To put it in my simpleton termsVery interesting company particularly across medical devices.

I do not have the impression they are using AKIDA yet but I am sure Rob Telson is not just liking them because they have a nice picture of a hand of man reaching out to the hand of robotics.
My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA
PS: Temperature and Pressure ties in very nicely with Anil Mankar's comments at the 2021 Ai Field Day about how AKIDA technology in only two node configuration could service this requirement at ludicrously low power with more than acceptable latency.
Definitely would give that post aSome good news for all investors in Brainchip. The absence of dividends will mean that the Governments proposal to prevent companies passing on franking credits to shareholders will have no implications. None of us will be part of a double taxation system. Well at least not for a couple of years. All we need now is for them to proceed with the removal of the 12 month holding rule for capital gains tax discounts and life in retirement will be sweet as.

Worth repeating:In all of the excitement let us not forget what Global Foundries is up to:
GF Supports Next-gen Vision and Computing Technologies
GF is also championing the computing sector, namely with BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic chip built on 22 nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI)technology.

BrainChip is the world’s first company to develop ultra-low-power, event-based, neuromorphic AI IP to be used for always-on sensor applications. The AKD1500 chip was built on GF’s low-leakage FD SOI platform, promising an array of applications that don't overload the CPU.
Vision sensor specialist Oculi also recently announced a strategic partnership with GF, commissioning the foundry to manufacture its single-chip, intelligent software-defined vision sensor. The new sensor will be based on GF’s 55LPx, a platform that supports RF, ultra-low power, embedded NVM, and high-voltage BCDLite (a process technology).
Expanding U.S.-based Semiconductor Production
While GlobalFoundries relies on five-year agreements to ship chips from storage facilities in Dresden and Singapore, the foundry also plans to expand three U.S. locations, including one in Vermont and two in New York. Specifically, GF is broadening the scope of existing facilities to make 12 nm, 28 nm, and 40 nm chips rather than going back to the drawing board and investing in new technologies to compete with TSMC’s advanced 3 nm – 5 nm chips.

GF has increased existing domestic manufacturing capacity in another way, too. The company has invested in gallium nitride (GaN) RF chips, a wide-band semiconductor technology that outperforms silicon in terms of thermal resistance and durability. GF's development of GaN devices at its Essex Junction, Vermont, facility would have been impossible without a $30 million government grant to shorten the time to market for the GaN RF technology.
A GF facility in upstate New York is also getting a boost—this time, from collaborating with Qualcomm. The U.S. mobile chipmaker has previously agreed to spend $4.2 billion on chips made by GF for Qualcomm's 5G transceivers, automotive products, and IoT connectivity.
