Some food for thought....AKIDA1500 availability from today. AKIDA 2 due out shortly. Mercedes reveal coming out soon. Valeo to begin ramping up with Scala3, And then you have renesas with their release due out soon.
All of this also potentially coincides with the release of Intel's 14th Gen chips, aka Meteor lake, potentially due for release in September. This is Intel's first chip that moves away from a monolithic chip design to one that is disaggregated. These new chips will contain an SOC tile that will have on it an AI visual procesing unit, and intel have mentioned that the new VPU will not be Movidius based, like what is available with the current 13th gen chips.
So, the question is what technology will these VPU's entail? Nobody knows (other than people at intel, and hopefully Brainchip), but there has been some strange wording used to describe the VPU design/function, etc. Take for instance, the passage below, in particular the underlined sentence:
View attachment 43201
"It starts with the “chiplet” system-on-chip (SoC) design that allows Intel to deliver advanced intellectual properties (IPs) and leading-edge processes to optimize segment-relevant performance and lower power."
So, Intel are going to be using some "advanced intellectual properties (IP's)" in their new pc chips. Hmmmmm

"Some food for thought....AKIDA1500 availability from today."
NOPE.....
"The AKD1500 chips from
GlobalFoundries are fully functional at first silicon and will be available in limited quantities in the
coming quarter."
But if you go back to the AGM in May you get this........
"Engineering and Development: This past year was an exciting year for our product
effort. We have just completed the tape out of another chip, the Akida 1500, in the
MCU-friendly 22nm process technology. This configuration, which is different from the
AKD1000, is geared towards a companion module for industrial, MCU, automotive
and smart home solutions and highlights the configurability and portability of the
Akida IP. We’ve received our first samples and will begin building different
demonstration boards and modules for use by our sales prospects immediately."
I believe that the EAP customers driving the changes made for the Akida 1500 would already have chips in hand. This news release is for general availability for new comers.
Could be wrong, I usually am..
