Morning IIoveLamb.,

Well if thay are not using Akida , yet displaying our business name , infering we are in the mix , then one would think this is were our IP lawyers would step in.

Well spotted Thelittleshort.

Good morning,

Thought I'd do my own forward projections

Balance as at 1 April 2024 15.5 Million USD

Factoring in $0.00 Cash Receipts/Revenue 4th Quarter ending 31 December 2023

Factoring in $0.00 Cash Receipts/Revenue 1st Quarter ending 31 March 2024

"2024 will be critical for Brainchip in many ways" very, very true Sean.

Nobody would/could possibly deny the fact that we need to see funds entering our bank account this year (2024)

Just trying to keep things on this forum on an even keel, love can be blind, but I'm not totally stupid, despite what some may think

Hi Dio,

In the photo little short circled it shows brainchip on the monitor with moschip while they're demonstrating RZ/V2M?

Or am i confused..?

Hi Ill,

Strange. Ravi Tej answered Jesse's query by saying it ran on the Renesas chip, but it was at a Renesas do, so he would say that wouldn't he?

We did do a co-presentation in India with MosChip on 11 - 12 May 2022.

https://moschip.com/blog/brainchip-moschip-to-demonstrate-ai-capabilities-at-iesa-ai-summit/

Maybe they are clutching at our coat tails?

PS: I remain convinced that Akida is better than DRP-AI.

Hi Dio,

thanks for the reply.

It is interesting. Is there a teeny weeny tiny minute minuscule atoms chance you could be wrong about our inclusion.........?

Sorry to question, it's just i fail to see why our logo would be displayed front and centre at a renesas / moschip display that is demonstrating the rz/v2m unless we were involved in some way?

I have also posted numerous LinkedIn likes etc from brn staff on this particular renesas chipset.

I can't help but feel we are missing something.

And here's the old page:

April 2021 (Shows Brainchip):
https://web.archive.org/web/2021042...y.edu.au/marcs/our_research/our_collaborators

June 2022 (Does not show Brainchip):
https://web.archive.org/web/2022062...y.edu.au/marcs/our_research/our_collaborators

Great work retrieving these archives @wilzy123!

I got a bit excited this morning when I realised that we may be able to deduce some connections in relation to hearing devices/cochlear implants, etc., from the old page.

After all, it seems more than a little coincidental that we are located in the centre in proximity to Cochlear and Google, don't you?

Also, I noticed in May 2023 that Western Sydney University, along with Cochlear and Google Research (Australia) have teamed together to help tackle problems with hearing devices such as "background noise".

Breaking the Sound Barrier: Using Sensors to Help Australians Hear Better — NSSN

In this thought piece, Dr Kelly Miles, Research Fellow at Macquarie University, writes about her successful team from this year's NSSN Grand Challenge Fund and how they are using smart sensors to make the world a more accessible place for Australians with hearing difficulties.

www.nssn.org.au

And Andre van Schaick from Western Sydney University has contributed to numerous research paper, such as this one, about hearing and neurmorphic engineering.

Event-driven spectrotemporal feature extraction and classification using a silicon cochlea model - PubMed

This paper presents a reconfigurable digital implementation of an event-based binaural cochlear system on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It consists of a pair of the Cascade of Asymmetric Resonators with Fast Acting Compression (CAR-FAC) cochlea models and leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF)...

I remember PVDM talking about hearing devices and now I wonder if the old Wester Sydney Uni "Collaborators" page indicates something significant in this area.

Agreed! I am very nervous as this company is where I started my investing journey and 1 of the first things I learnt was have a plan and stick to it. Well my plan is to take profits in July 2024 pay house off. Failing this and the narrative is still , soon, not to distant future, revenue is coming etc get out and reinvest elsewhere. 2 Xmas ago I was super confident thinking everytime an Ann came out this is it. Now everytime and Ann comes out I think uh oh . Sean and the company have promised alot and delivered on alot of promises except the one that counts$$$. I truly hope and reservingly believe soon, near future etc is before 01-07-2024.

Hi Ill,

What a question! Of course there's no chance I'm wrong ;}

Seriously, the Renesas block diagram for the RZ/V2M shows the DRP-AI block in the grey Sensing and Analysing section.

Our deal with Renesas was that they would handle the heavy lifting with their 10 year plus researched DRP-AI, and the 2 nodes (8 NPUs) of Akida would be for the fiddly bits (ultra-low power applications).

Maybe the sunk costs are preventing Renesas from using the best solution. They have come up with a really nifty solution which became obsolete immediately Akida became available.

Or maybe it is expedient to proceed with their chip for the time being. They would have done all the prototyping, taping out, testing, refinement and approval processes for their high-end applications, so maybe, short term it makes sense to use DRP-AI for safety-critical applications until they qualify Akida for those applications?

Dec quarter is the last quarter for Brn.

2024 is approaching and The company needs to show revenue or IP deals in the January quarter.

The grace period has ended.

Piss or get off the pot!

Hey Gang!

I've been thinking about the new Renesas 22nm RA-family chips which is expected to be launched towards the end of the year. This chip is an extension to the RA family of 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M microcontrollers and is the one that is supposed to include our amazing technology.

Anyway I was thinking about the question of revenue based on mass volume and trying to work it form various angles to try and get a gauge on what we could expect to see coming into the coffers in the near future.

So we know from our website that a 28nm chip costs $15 for mass volumes (see below). And I'm presuming 22nm might be a little more expensive, let's say $20 a chip??

As for the term "mass volumes", what does that look like from a quantity perspective? I am pretty sure I remember Sean saying after the last AGM that total chip production costs on mass volumes are really high, into the tens of millions of dollars. I think he may have said up to $50 million dollars.

Sooo, based on this remedial information Renesas must be pretty confident they can sell enough chips to cover their costs and make a decent profit - which is a lot of chips when you think about it.

All IMO. DYOR.

Awesome pick up TLS

I actually thought back in June last year the V2L would be the best chance but hey...will take the V2M if that's legit

Some info in the prev posts.

What’s that supposed to prove? It means that you shouldn't get excited and then disappointed when all the Renesas links, when you follow them to their end-point, do not reveal a link to Akida. They can't link to Akida because they haven't put the Akida IP into anything yet. The Renesas CTO...

It's very well possible that they were running some combined demonstration using the one-shot learning capability of Akida.

While they may have been inferencing with the Renesas hardware, they could have used Akida to learn new facial expressions or recognize new faces for those visiting/revisiting the booth.

BrainChip's past exhibits that show this feature are compelling when showing how their hardware can do Edge learning without retraining the model.

Qualcomm & Apple have some very compelling ARM-based solutions that are primed to tackle AMD & Intel in the AI PC segment in 2024.

Apple & Qualcomm Expected to Act as Catalysts For Progression of ARM In The AI PC Era, x86 Chips From AMD & Intel Face Heated Competition In 2024 & Beyond​

We have seen a recent shift in the industry towards ARM-based solutions, especially with its potential adoption by newly emerging competitors. With Apple boosting the share of ARM architectures within the laptop segment, it looks like moving ahead, we might see widespread adoption of the chip architecture within the PC industry as well, mainly since ARM has been able to close the performance gap between the x86 architecture, along with being much more power efficient.

ARM has already seen a dominant position in the mobile industry, with Qualcomm and MediaTek utilizing the standard for quite some time now.

However, the market share of ARM in the PC industry is going to see a rapid rise in the coming years, since Qualcomm has already introduced its own PC SoC, known as the "Snapdragon X Elite", which boasts impressive performance and is expected to hit shelves by mid-2024. Moreover, it is rumored that NVIDIA and AMD might launch ARM-based CPUs by 2025 as well, which means that the x86 architecture will get tough competition.

Currently, the Hexagon processor unit used by Qualcomm in Snapdragon X Elite has reached an astonishing 45 TOPS. Intel, on the other hand, looks like it's struggling to catch up and isn't expected to reach comparable performance levels until the launch of its Lunar Lake platform in 2025.
As OEMs are keen to kick-start AI roadmaps on their devices, PC makers based on ARM processors have an opportunity to carve up a share of this emerging market segment. However, Intel still believes that their current product designs are sufficient to meet user needs for AI tasks in most use cases.
In addition, Apple's M3 chip reached 18 TOPS, which is only slightly higher than the M2's 15.8 TOPS. Although lower than the data of Qualcomm and AMD, Apple has a high degree of control over its hardware and software ecosystem, which will help the Mac series of computers provide a comparable AI experience with lower hardware specifications.
Canalys

The next-gen AI PC market is definitely something that all chipmakers are currently eyeing to succeed in. All companies include dedicated NPUs within their chips that accelerate AI workloads and bring additional capabilities through a robust software stack and ecosystem.

Qualcomm has currently announced its AI Engine to offer up to 75 TOPS on the fastest X Elite SOCs while AMD just announced its updated Ryzen 8040 "Hawk Point" APUs with up to 39 TOPS (16 TOPS from NPU). Its successor which arrives in 2H 2024, codenamed Strix Point, is expected to feature up to 3x uplift in AI TOPS, hitting almost 50 TOPS from the XDNA 2 NPU alone.

Apple also offers around 18 TOPS with its M3 SOCand while that's a lower number than the rest of the competition, Apple's software ecosystem which runs on its own OS offsets the requirement of a powerful AI NPU thanks to optimizations. Lastly, we have Intel who have also been making big claims about their NPU featured in Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" CPUs which debuts next week on the 14th of December.

ARM is making strides when it comes to aiding artificial intelligence through its CPU solutions, since just recently, the company has launched its Cortex-M52 SoC, which is equipped with the company's "Helium" or M-Profile Vector Extension that delivers a significant performance uplift for machine learning (ML) and digital signal processing (DSP) applications. Since the PC industry is going to see a large-scale influence of AI-based features, firms like ARM need to deliver performance in this domain.

It will be interesting to see how the influx of ARM-focused chips changes the dynamics of the PC industry, especially the AI PC segment, since it would not only bring in much more diversity but would result in a more competitive market.
