BRN Discussion Ongoing

Hi cosors,

Akida is process-agnostic as well as processor-agnostic.

It can be built in 60 nm or 7 nm or any size between.

It can work with ARM, Intel, Nvidia.

It can work with (almost) any processor because, with Akida 1000, the processor is only required for configuring the NN (layers, NPEs per layer, weights, ...). In Akida 1000, the processor plays no part in the classification function, which makes Akida very fast.

Akida 2 TeNNs does have some minor processor involvement.
Thanks!
Ok, I only came up with this because I read it and am still trying to imagine how it could work.

"Intel to reveal its roadmap beyond the 18A (1.8nm) process node in a few weeks — the company will share its post-5N4Y plans during February event
January 03, 2024

Along with introducing its IDM 2.0 paradigm in 2021, which involves using both internal and external production capacities, Intel also outlined its impressive plan for 'five nodes in four years,' now dubbed '5N4Y.' The culmination of that impressive project is supposed to be the company's 18A (1.8nm-class) technology, which is scheduled to become production-ready in "early 2025." Little is known about the company's plans beyond 18A, but now it says it will reveal its new roadmap in February.

Intel plans to host its IFS Direct Connect event on February 21, where Intel Foundry Services will discuss its roadmap beyond 5N4Y. Featured speakers at the event are Pat Gelsinger, Chief Executive of Intel; Stu Pann, General Manager of IFS; Keyvan Esfarjani, General Manager of Intel's Supply Chain and Operations, as well as Ann Kelleher, Executive Vice President responsible for Process Technology Development at Intel.

If you're interested in the process technologies that are set to come after 18A, Ann Kelleher's presentation is the one to watch. What to expect from Intel beyond 18A is up in the air, but we expect the company to continue building on its latest innovations. Intel's 20A introduces RibbonFET gate-all-around (GAA) transistors and PowerVia backside power delivery network (BSPDN), and 18A refines both technologies. At the recent IEDM event, the company outlined a further evolution of BSPDN, so expect one of Intel's process technologies after 18A to use this feature. GAA will obviously evolve as well, so we expect Intel to innovate in this realm, too.

Meanwhile, the disparity in the requirements of chips for different applications necessitates Intel to specialize in various process technologies, something that Intel does already. For example, Intel 3 offered a denser high-performance library and increased drive current, which is just what the doctor ordered for data center-class processors. Whether this approach will be extended and Intel will offer other specialized nodes remains open to question.


Intel describes the IFS Direct event as follows:

"Hear from Intel leaders, technologists, and partners as they share details of our strategy, process technology, advanced packaging, and ecosystem. Learn how Intel Foundry Services can help you build your silicon designs leveraging Intel’s resilient, security, and sustainably oriented, source of supply."

The career profiles of the event speakers indicate that Intel plans to disclose both the technical and executive directions of Intel and IFS. However, the nature of the event implies that its focus will be squarely on Intel Foundry Services operations.

BRN is taking preorders for the VVDN edge box. The fact that they haven't communicated this to the asx belittles the product immensely, as if they don't think it's a significant piece of news. I thought they listened to the criticism aimed at improving their level of communication. Fans of the company knew this incredible product was coming. The market needs to know, CEO! Or is the CEO happy doing cap calls at ridiculously low share prices?

Partnerships are one thing. A commercial product is another, even considering that the company doesn't anticipate a significant level of revenue...


You would then have to assume that when BRN do announce a price sensitive ann, it will be bigger than we would have ever imagined.

If anyone is expecting to see anything that we dont already know at IFS then I’m guessing you should be prepared to be disappointed as that’s my gut feeling. But just being invited to the event is just proof how things are heading for the company.

Yes, that's how I see it too. They are presenting their ecosystem and we are part of it, as we already know. Brainchip and NVISO will presenting as announced. This stage alone is already very good I think. Out of the shadows. I'm still excited. I'm actually not a fan of when someone raises expectations and then when nothing new comes along, it's just fuel for those who attack.
I just remember that I fell for it and had hoped for more from MB's special about NC. Unless I missed something.

It would be nice thou that intel said they are in the process of developing something with Akida.

Another red day started in Germany. I had a minus of 6% yesterday and the way down continues. :eek:😭
I feel FOMO and don't have any money left. But today is the day when the big ones are going to see

Does anyone know what happening with the Renesas offering that was suppose to be due out already by now?
Yes I believe its still coming soon. I saw a conference can't find it now but the renesas speaker blurbed 2023 then said 2024 so anytime now as its 2024. Date no idea. This was probably of no help to you lol 🤪

I prefer no announcement. May get a SP sugar hit, but outlets like the Crapper and Motley Fool will wrongly credit our recent run to the edge box, claiming a shift to hardware sales or we failed with IP to intentionally spread confusion.

Sean in the latest podcast, stresses BRN operates as an IP business. The introduction of edge devices is geared towards getting some SNN market penetration, not revenue (this was mentioned in a prior podcast or release when the VVDN box first got mentioned). IP remains our ultimate goal, Sean really emphasises that in the most recent podcast.

We should avoid being perceived as a hardware supplier or valued based on edge box sales.

The IFS event is tomorrow, wouldn’t be a bad time for IFS and BRN to announce the successful tape out of 2.0 🤞
I imagine Sean is very patient and clever CEO.
This is the 1st product we are launching with Sean on board. Yes akida 2000 and akida 1500 were there but they were in different category.
I assume Sean had taken that decision only after getting some assurances from someone.
I believe company should be able to sell a few thousand of them in this quarter
