BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fact Finder]

LAGUNA HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 12, 2023 /BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX:BRN)(OTCQX:BRCHF)(ADR:BCHPY), the world's first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI IP, today announced it has validated that its Akida™ processor family integrates with the Arm® Cortex®-M85 processor, unlocking new levels of performance and efficiency for next-generation intelligent edge devices.

Arm Cortex-M85 delivers the highest levels of performance in the Arm Cortex-M family. It enables system developers to build the most sophisticated variety of MCUs and embedded SoCs for IoT and embedded applications that require enhanced digital signal processing (DSP) and machine learning (ML) capabilities. Use cases include smart home devices, robotics, and drone control, secured system controllers and sensor hubs. By successfully demonstrating Akida's capabilities with the Arm Cortex-M85 in a fully functioning environment, BrainChip paves the way for a new generation of intelligent edge devices that are capable of delivering unprecedented levels of performance and functionality, built on leading-edge technology from Arm.

"In order to serve the diverse and growing IoT market, developers require a new standard of secure, high-performance microcontrollers, combined with endpoint ML capabilities," said Paul Williamson, SVP and GM, IoT Line of Business at Arm. "The integration of Arm's highest performance microcontroller with the Akida portfolio enables our partners to deliver on this potential and efficiently handle advanced machine learning workloads."

The integration of Akida and the Arm Cortex-M85 processor is an important step forward for BrainChip, demonstrating the company's commitment to developing cutting-edge AI solutions that deliver exceptional performance and efficiency.

"We are delighted Akida can now seamlessly integrate with the Arm Cortex-M85 processor, which is one of the most advanced and efficient MCU platforms available for intelligent IoT," said Nandan Nayampally, CMO of BrainChip. "This is a significant milestone for BrainChip, as it drives new possibilities for high-performance, low-power AI processing at the edge. We are excited to offer our mutual customers the benefits of this powerful combination of technologies."

Morning Chippers,

Wondering if Brainchip management will issue a ASX announcement today to alleviate investors concerns regarding SVB collapse.

I see two companys on the ASX have put out a statement to their shareholders this morning , on the ASX.

VGL & SKO

Esq.

Morning @Esq.111
Definitely a good idea especially considering we are in the middle of a capital raise that is dependent on share price. Also a chance to throw in a cheeky comment along the lines of 'Brainchip are not affected by the fallout of SBV as our EAP customers are all Fortune 500 companies'

 

[Fact Finder]

100% agree @Esq.111
Clarifying our liquidity today will be far more important than any demo news. Yellen just announced the gov won’t bailout SVB. Hopefully it’s just worry but I fear that a press release by BRN could have been alreadymade over the weekend to clarify the issue if we weren’t involved. Reports are that around 50% of startup in SV had an account with them. My fingers and toes are crossed

Do not forget that if Brainchip was invested in Silicon Valley Bank it would have lost a commercially price sensitive sum of money and be obligated to make an ASX announcement.

The correct and logical conclusion if there is no announcement is that there is nothing to announce.

While I would prefer an announcement to fend off the attacks by WANCA’s the absence of any announcement means everything is AOK at Brainchip.

Good Morning Fact Finder,

Agree, yet it's a pretty easy thing to clarify, officially , simple no or a more detailed yes.

As of posting this another 4 companys have released clarification.

ARM shipped 8B chips last quarter = 32B pa.

If 5% of ARM chips are shipped with BRN IP = 1.6B chips pa x 30 cents royalty = $480M revenue.

A tiny 1% = 320M chips pa x 30 cents royalty = $96M revenue.

Once a few of the large semiconductor companies incorporate BRN IP the target will be the 1.15T chips pa semiconductor industry.

I'm confused with my BRN investment. I thought it was a semiconductor company but it looks like I invested in a printing company.

Don’t forget Brainchip’s Chief Financial Officer is in the USA where it is Sunday.

If he is fast asleep in bed dreaming of AKIDA robots and rocket ships travelling to distant galaxies controlled by AKIDA then everything is fine with Brainchip.

Knowing his obsessive adherence to the rules if there was a problem he would have a notice already filed with the ASX rather than risk any form of criticism let alone an allegation he delayed notifying the market of a material event.

Who are ARM Licensees?​

ARM Licensees are companies with licenses from ARM to manufacture and integrate into their own System on chip (SoC) with other components.

ARM licenses IP to over 1,000 global partners (including Samsung, Apple, and Microsoft and other big names).

How many ARM licensees are there?​

In 2021, there were 160 licensees. That's 15 less licensees than in 2020!

Year	Number of licensees
2021	160 licensees
2020	175 licensees
2019	147 licensees
2018	125 licensees
2017	141 licensees
2016	113 licensees
2015	182 licensees

We currently don't know any 100% confirmed information about ARM's licensees in 2022 or 2023, but as soon as data comes out, we'll publish it here.

How many ARM-based chips were shipped?​

In 2021, Arm reported shipped 29 billion Arm-based chips.

Year	Number of ARM chip shipments
2021	29.2 billion ARM chip shipments
2020	25 billion ARM chip shipments
2019	22.8 billion ARM chip shipments
2018	22.7 billion ARM chip shipments
2017	21.3 billion ARM chip shipments
2016 (Q4)	5.1 billion ARM chip shipments

​

How many chips ARM licensees shipments are there?​

In December 2021, Arm’s licensees reported shipments of 7.8 billion ARM-based chips.

Below you can see a list of processors that were shipped worldwide throughout the 2015-2021 interval.

Breakdown by processor (million)	2015	2016	2017	2018	2019	2020	2021
Classic (Arm7, Arm9, Arm11)	517	500	499	499	-	-	-
Cortex-A	265	290	334	363	-	-	-
Cortex-R	65	78	94	106	-	-	-
Cortex-M	363	425	482	539	4,200	4,400	-
Mali	138	149	168	187	-	-	-
Total (x 1,000,000)	1,348	1,442	1,577	1,674	6,400	6,700	7,800

Renesas will be in the above category of 4.4B (2021) Cortex-M chips shipped per year. If Cortex-M numbers rise 400M YOY similar to 2019 to 2020 then there will be 5.6B in 2023 & 6B in 2024 shipped by licensees.

There is clearly a demand for the AKIDA powered Cortex M85:

“The continuous need for higher processing capabilities results in the implementation of high performing processors, like Cortex-M85. At the same time, this raises the need for custom hardware accelerators, and the necessity for easy integration to the existing CPU. Accelerators are treated as memory-mapped IPs, through an internal coprocessor interface. Legacy Cortex-M CPUs, like Cortex-M33, implement such an interface, allowing the hardware accelerators to be closely integrated to the processor, and reducing the latency in data and instruction transfers. However, some applications require the execution of specialized data processing functions on the CPU, so that they can operate directly on general-purpose registers.

This need is addressed through Arm Custom Instructions (ACI), with Cortex-M85 – alongside Cortex-M55 – also implementing this feature. ACI allows chip designers to include custom defined data processing instructions directly on the Cortex-M processor, and enables the users to implement their own instructions by using the existing Cortex-M85 hardware”
