[Rise from the ashes]

Well I got in for another 10k at 20.5. Larry is done for now..........I think

Hey mate can you list a few of your reasons why you have kept topping lately.

The VVDn Edge Box is great news.

I wonder how it differs from the Raspberry Pi/PCIe?

I suppose it will include some BRN model libraries, and/or be able to download them.

It should also include some cybersecurity.

This is an example of available edge boxes:

EPC-R7000

WARNING - Do not look at the sell side!

They are trying to engineer a cascade and instil further fear in holders.

Could the Simpson be predicting our future.

The Simpson's have predicted the future before..

But you should watch the whole scene, before getting too excited..

 

[SERA2g]

Because of two reasons,
1) We already know about this partnership with VVDN.
2) Not announced on ASX, so we are told by BRN, usually that means it is immaterial.

Regarding, the edge box, it is great that it is available for pre-sale, but I will keep an eye on the actual revenue figures to see how many are being sold.
VVDN has operating revenue of 500 crore INR ( approx 100 million AUD) I need to see the size of the piece of pie this edge box can get.

You've changed man

 

[Iseki]

Wow, 75% up on our record low (if that was 3 cents). Outstanding!

REALLY Cardpro ... who cares. What is important is our future. And that is assured. It just requires a little patience ... and not sensationalised negativity.

The share price will go up, and the share price will go down. That is a certainty. But do you have faith in the company and everything they claim ... or do you think that they and all the other companies are just making it up. I know what I believe.
Cheers, Deena

Our belief is not enough. We need the belief of a client. Enough to sign a DEAL.

1. Nothing has changed fundamentally.
2. I believe it is just funds exiting after our ASX200 departure.
3. Nothing has changed fundamentally


Happy as Larry (haven't changed)

I wondered the same thing... is this a Rasberry Pi on steroids? Will be interesting to see VVDN's input on the new product.

Morning Rise ,

My last top up was at $0.38 ,

reason being.......

The Carrera Marble surface of the helipad needs re doing..... think i shall go with Mutton Fat Jade, although vastly dearer the wear properties are superior.

Esq.

 

[FJ-215]

It will be interesting to see the make up of the box. Which version of Akida would it be set up with?

G'day @Shadow59'

Total guess here but would think the Akida 1500.

Looking at the examples of VVDN's existing products, there is a lot of compute power there already, no need for Akida to come with a CPU. As Megachips was involved with the AKD 1500, this might explain why there is no mention of a license fee.

They are trying to engineer a cascade and instil further fear in holders.

Or it could be near the end of the fundie dumping.

 

[Iseki]

That's my issue with the forum and the reason all of my friends left months ago already.
As soon as someone does not agree, logical thinking just stops, and you get called a lier, downramper, stupid, thrown gifs at you ladididi dadidi.
A product, the only one you have, 3 years into commercialization that doesn't sell and even gets called not robust enough by its own company is a failure. End and over.

I can name you an example for a lie regarding this topic.
When the technology was ready for licensing, they said that revenue growth would outgrow expenses. They said that there will be a lot of ip licensing going forward, or other phrases liked it'd become the defacto standard.
Regarding the second gen, there was only an outdated timeline available.
I don't recall when it was, but I think it was some months maybe even only some weeks before the last AGM someone dropped that the "AKD1000 never intended to be a revenue stream"
Now that's a lie with consequences that we can all witness right now.
Can't wait for people making excuses like "he was only talking about physical chips and not IP" or whatever people will come up with.

Good you're still here.
Yes the management has changed some timelines, but mostly because I think they are being honest.
I think they have always said that everything depends on signed contracts and revenue.
The chips were always there to prove the point that the IP works so go make your own chip.
They have acknowledged that this has been a step too hard for most manufacturers. Certainly it looks like a mistake to rely on just Renesas and MegaChips. In any other industry you wouldn't charge these companies, rather you would share profit with them if the on-sold Akida. So it looks like our sales team have been over-confident. Mostly to get traction you need to give away free samples, free introductory offers etc.
To be frank, buying a $40,000 NVDIA chip is cheaper than spending $4000000 designing a chip with Akida inside.

Renesas at AI Live registration on October 12. Hopefully something about Brainchip. The talk is about Innovations in Edge and Edgepoint Deployment.

Definitely install a smart doorbell on that helipad to keep the riff-raff away.

So we have six trading days till AKD 2.0 twitter announcement.

Hi jtardif999,

I've been down the Meteor Lake rabbit hole and the news is not good if the press speculation is correct.


Inside Meteor Lake: Intel’s radical new Core chip is optimized for the future (msn.com)

MSN

The NPU is one part of that. Intel’s NPU includes a pair of neural compute engines, each with two VLIW Shade DSPs inside, with inference engines capable of up to eight instructions per cycle. Even for consumers used to parsing the number of cores per chip, base clocks, and turbo clocks, this won’t make a lot of sense. What Intel is trying to convey is that AI requires a ton of multiply-accumulate (MAC) instructions per cycle, and that those engines can perform 2,048 MAC calculations each.
...
Intel’s secret sauce, though, isn’t just the AI NPU, but how the CPU, GPU, and NPU can all help assist each other. Take the following example. Running 20 iterations of Stable Diffusion, Intel tried various combinations: performing all of the calculations on the CPU, all on the GPU, all on the NPU, and a combination of all three. Performing them all on the NPU took 20.7 seconds and 10 total watts, the most efficient use. But performing them all on the GPU and NPU finished the task in 11.3 seconds, consuming 30W.

Akida does not do "instructions per cycle".
Akida does not do lots of MACs.
Akida does not use Watts.

Fair enough - sounds like a pretty average result though with that power consumption - Intel are not really positioning themselves for the true small device or sensor edge then - just a PC edge. We move on....

Akida for the true edge, small cost, small power, small sensors and devices...and in the billions of small edge devices.

So has the SP
We are back at the IPO price

Hey Iseki. You have suggested in your post that no client has signed a deal. Why do you say that? How do you know that? Or do you mean that you just haven't seen substantial revenue yet? Arrr! A deal that results in substantial revenue showing in our 4C! Have patience Iseki.
Lord give me patience ... right bloody now!

 

[DK6161]

Those that bought more a few days ago, are you still topping up? Asking for my wife... and our marriage.

Anyone know any cheap divorce lawyers. Thanks
