Move on, nothing to see.
Have to use the right font though so the I looks like an i and lot like an L.Or spell it like AkIda to highlight the AI ?
But interestingly, in their trademark they've gone with all lower case except for the K.

Yeah I also knew about the origin of the brand name Akida.
It's a pity though, because Akaida fits so well, without the literal meaning that is.
I believe Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net is already taken.
Note: Coke is a grey, hard, and porous fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air. Coke is dirty and smelly, and I assume not very tasty, Yet CocaCola are happy for people to use that. The even invented New-Coke. And remember the origins of the name CocaCola.
I know Brainchip went with the literal meaning for a reason, but not all brands need literal meanings.
BTW - my original post, as with this oen, was tongue-in-cheek as I keep speelling Akida incorrectly! So much so, that my computer now auto-corrects it to Akaida.

In the Greek Alphabet, the letter Kappa, is printed like an English capital K whether it is upper or lower case, so the way ακίδα is printed is correct.Have to use the right font though so the I looks like an i and lot like an L.

Here is another little piece in video form with a Linus rep doing the SiFive review. While it is about SiFive from probably 2018 note his comments about TSMC and getting a call back and relive the significance of Brainchip getting foundry time before and more importantly after the world wide chip shortage for low volume runs of AKD1000.It just amazes me constantly how you find all this stuff FF.
Interesting forbes article about the foundry state of play in the U.S and more specifically INTEL. Interestingly Rob Telson is a fan too..........
Intel Creates $1B Innovation Fund To Grow RISC-V Market (And Attract New Foundry Customers)
Intel is investing in the Open Source RISC-V cores, the go-to technology for many devices, from embedded controllers to high-performance AI chips from Esperanto.www.forbes.com
System on a Package
Many cloud service providers as well as startups are designing multi-chiplet platforms for workloads such as AI, placing accelerators, CPUs, and I/O dies (possibly from different manufacturing nodes) on a package. “System on a Package” is the new mantra, but there are few companies that have the required technology and available fabrication capacity to make it real. In the old days, Intel saved the underlying technologies such as EMIB for multi-die packages as a differentiator for Intel products. Now Intel is stepping up and making this approach available for all comers. Is Intel becoming Open? Sounds like it to me.
Conclusions
I’ve been in this industry for over four decades, and I am not exaggerating when I say this is perhaps one of the most impactful strategic announcements I have seen. But it may take years to see it pay off for Intel: will long-time competitors decide to trust Intel for critical services and fab capacity? They may not have much choice. The capacity constraints at TSMC and Samsung for advanced process wafer starts may last years. It takes 3 years to build a new fab, minimum so new capacity is slow to come on-line. But nimble companies will see Intel’s commitment and investment in RISC-V as just the force needed to reach a tipping point, and will quickly get in line for wafer start slots at Intel Foundry Services.

Not sure how a personal observation / interpretation / opinion of a listing rule is a whinge.“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Supposedly Einstein,s words.
Wish you guys would stop and listen to yourselves.
I for one, am sick of hearing the whinging.

Maybe with such insights into the future of neuromorphic infrastructure, you could apply for one of their jobs and make those suggestions from the inside?I sent the following email to Tony Dawe this morning. I thought some of you may be interested.
I see some dots being connected that could encourage my suggestion to Sean and yourself, at the recent Strawman webinar, to look into WeebitNano and their ReRam technology.
I noticed a press release about a new partnership with SiFive to deploy AI/ML technology at the edge, somewhat of a marriage of RISC-V with Akida. I was so excited to see this press release last night. It has so much promise.
I also noticed an announcement from WeebitNano this morning announcing the successful testing of their demo ReRAM chips. Of great interest in this announcement is that they used a RISC-V microcontroller to perform this testing.
https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20220406/pdf/457r40p4yd61km.pdf
So Brainchip in partnership with SiFive to work with RISC-V, and ReRAM proven to work with RISC-V. I can see dots lining up. Especially considering WeeBitNano’s ReRAM is now working at 22nm with plans to further reduce. ReRAM does not have the 40nm limitation of flash memory. So it should be able to create solutions on a chip that contain all three technologies.
I am excited for what the future brings through BrainChip.
Whoa Foxy. Little bit harsh for this friendly site?Maybe with such insights into the future of neuromorphic infrastructure, you could apply for one of their jobs and make those suggestions from the inside?
Maybe it's people like yourself that waste Tony's time and prevent him from drafting meaningful announcements for the ASX, slowing the share price rise and ruining everyone's share value? Just a thought...
Noice! Very noice!
(Extract)
VentureBeat: Does BrainChip use any of Arm’s IP in its chips? Arm is known for low-power and high performance.
Kang: BrainChip has discussed Arm IP for their product line. Arm processors have built a reputation for low-power based on comparisons to x86-based products. SiFive Intelligence products compare well to Arm products through offering improved performance-per-area of up to 30% combined with a single ISA for simpler programming, and a modular approach that aligns well to working with hardened AI IP such as developed by BrainChip.
VentureBeat: Can you expand upon this statement: “(Brainchip) mimics the human brain to analyze only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition.”
Kang: This statement refers to the ability of humans to focus on what’s important. For example listening to a conversation in a coffee shop while still registering and acknowledging background sounds. The BrainChip solution will mimic this ability to reduce power and increase efficiency by focusing on the important data being processed. This is similar to, but a step beyond, the adoption of mixed and lower precision data types (INT8 vs FP16) to speed up and improve the efficiency of AI/ML processing.

BrainChip, SiFive partner to bring AI and ML to edge computing
The integration of BrainChip's Akida technology and SiFive's multi-core capable RISC-V processors is expected to provide an efficient solution for integrated edge AI computing.venturebeat.com
Maybe you're right. I might’ve been having HC flash backs of people wanting to change our product name, the colour of the branding, the shape of the box, and then sharing all of this advice with Tony, Peter, and anyone else at the company who is unfortunate enough to have a publicly known position / email address.Whoa Foxy. Little bit harsh for this friendly site?
