BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Foxdog]

There are two solid gold immutable FACTS that have been released which allow me to ignore the current share price machinations:

1. Renesas has taped out its AKIDA chip and will be bringing it to market end of 2023.

2. MegaChips who has produced license income in the Brainchip balance sheet has admitted it helped with the backend design for AKIDA1500 which according to Brainchip was produced as a result of customer requests.

With these two FACTS I do not need any other information to make me comfortable with maintaining my investment in this company.

As a bonus though these are not the only positive Facts weighing in Brainchip’s favour.

AKIDA BALLISTA

'MegaChips who has produced license income in the Brainchip balance sheet has admitted it helped with the backend design for AKIDA1500 which according to Brainchip was produced as a result of customer requests'.

The big question now is: has AKIDA 1500 satisfied the needs of these customers and if so when will these customers walk the talk and put their money where their mouths are?

Why do you think they haven't already?

I think that is most likely to be this situation.

Dear Brainchip, love the Akida 1000 and we've been able to get a few people signed up and products are starting to move. However many of our customers are reluctant to move forward currently as they also need X, Y and of course the dreaded Z. Any ideas?

Thanks Megachips, yes of course we can do that. As you are aware with the DD you did before signing up, we can deliever X,Y and we don't see Z as dreaded but a simple solution. How about we work together on this to make sure we can cross all the T's and dot all the I's for those fussy customers of yours?

Dear Brainchip, yes we are happy to get involved. All the techs you trained are fully aware of what is needed. So how about we get that Akida 1500 up and running as our customer list is growing by the day. regards, the smart early movers.

Well, I'm sure it was close to this anyway ROFL!!!

So revenue is possibly/likely coming in from the day or the day after..... 1500 was first commissioned

I thought I did well adding a heap to super at 64c, now my super looks as shit as my portfolio!

That is a huge club. I am in it as well so I added in 50's.
Could not fit a wafer in that club. It's packed.
Think one more top up in 40's and that is it.
That is what I always say.
Still it will look like peanuts in a few years

 

[Fact Finder]

Hi @skutza and @Foxdog

I think there can be a middle ground between the two positions.

If the AKIDA 1500 is part of a MegaChips proof of concept design it may have been proven out in software and using AKD1000 but the final proof of concept is to show it running to spec using the customers CPU.

If this is correct then MegaChips will have a board made up ready to hook AKIDA1500 up to so testing should take on my reading less than three weeks.

I suspect that to go to the trouble and expense of bringing AKIDA 1500 to life in advance of AKIDA 2000 there has already been an agreement reached.

This agreement would be conditional on the Proof of Concept and in line with the facts of GetSwift being conditional could not be announced via the ASX even if there were not NDAs in place.

If memory serves the AKD1500 is expected second quarter 2023.

I am sooo with you! Currently trying to sell one of my cars so I can buy more.

I'm trying to get a damn car running, so I can do the same!

Following on from yesterdays conjecturing about which of Arm's customers would prefer to use a new and improved Arm V9 architecture which incorporates Akida, I reckon that Qualcomm would most definitely be on the cards and if they're not, then they should be IMO.

With Oryon for example, Qualcomm is using Arm v9 architectural license/instruction set. And Renesas have proven that Akida is compatible with Cortex M85 and could feasibly be incorporated in V9, so what does Qualcomm have to lose (except for its law suit against Arm) by getting the new fancy fan-dangled architecture up and running in all of their WindowsPC's, smartphones, digital cockpits, ADAS and other various goods and sundrys?

Qualcomm Reveals New "Oryon" CPU to Be Used in Windows on ARM PCs

Qualcomm introduced a new Oryon CPU for Windows on ARM PCs and other devices at its Snapdragon Summit yesterday.

Qualcomm Oryon: Everything you need to know about the new custom silicon

Qualcomm announced new CPU cores called Oryon at its Snapdragon Technology Summit in 2022. Here's everything that you need to know about it.

And you know who else uses Arm architecture? Apple does to power every Apple computing product, unless the article below is incorrect.

And thanks to Renesas we know Akida can now seamlessly integrate with the Arm Cortex-M85 processor available as part of Armv8.1M architecture. So why wouldn't Apple want to get in on this action?

Anyway someone from Apple is probably going to be very interested in Renesas who is to present the first live demonstrations of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) implementations (in other words AKIDA inside) on an MCU based on the Arm Cortex-M85 processor at the embedded world 2023 Exhibition and Conference in Nuremburg, Germany from March 14-16.

I'd set fire to mine for the insurance money but it would take to long to get the blood out of that stone.

Sorry I just love the fact that Megachips come out and just said this. Made me smile.

I agree with all the points you made although I was particularly drawn to point 2.

Got home from work and the wife said how was your day? I said I bought more BRN at a 12 month low. Below was her approximate reaction

Please PM me if interested and I'll send my account details.

Car batteries go bad and are too expensive to replace, smart cars get older faster.

Brainchip will increase above the current value at one point.

You decide.

Plus if you live in Victoria I heard that a 3 cent per kilometre charge is coming your way each time you re register your electric car . You can contribute your share to road maintenance. Worth considering

 

[robsmark]

I keep repeating what seems to fall on deaf ears; the EOY report showed 4 million dollars in licence fees collected in 2022, so your statement about going 27 months with getting any is false and misleading.

You are correct, I should have said 18 months. That being said - during this time how many licences have Brainchip sold? Not via 3rd party which we’ll likely never hear the details of, I’m talking about deals between us and a customer? None.

 

[Wags]

Anyone know who this very smart guy is

yes. I do. a rusted on longterm shareholder/believer. a good guy. cheers

 

[Slade]

The tech world will be watching to see what comes our of Nurnberg over the next three days. Are any of our esteemed German members attending EW2023?

 

[jtardif999]

I would like to know that too.

Qualcomm was developing Zeroth, but officially gave up years ago and focused on a software stack instead.

Maybe Brainchip fitted perfectly into the picture?

Maybe they dusted off their old neuromorphic project?

Maybe the giving up was smoke and mirrors?

BrainChip competitor slides from years back used to show Qualcomm utilising Snapdragon as included in a competitors list, but then they stopped showing Qualcomm in that list (which also included IBM and Intel among others).

Who will rid me of these turbulent myrmidons of Qualcomm?

Well, OK, Mercedes is a pretty weighty dot, but it is still one step remote ...

... and now there's ARM M85 ...

Before we got the lazy printer, there was the dot matrix printer, an electro-mechanical wonder, and the daisy wheel nylon printer wheel where the "e" always broke off (see Mr Morse for an explanation) ... Manys the letter I sent out without a single "e".

Nowadays, no one sends letters, so the daisy wheel would be good for a few extra months.

So now we have dot matrixes (,,,,ices?) for Qualcomm/Akida ...

PS: I would love Qualcomm to sign up and make a big noise about it!
