We already have product differentiation on performance with Akida 2 having premium performance with ViT and TeNNs, and long skip.
Akida 1 has extremely flexible applications but the added functionality of long hop/skip/jump, TeNNs and ViT would justify a substantial price differential.
Akida 1500 would be cheaper than Akida 1 on equivalent production runs as it does not require the ARM Cortex M4 licence, and will fit more per wafer.
In addition, there is the radhard version.
The adaptability of Akida means we are set up to meet a broad spectrum of the market.
It is true that competition may harvest the low hanging fruit, but SynSense for instance needs different chips for audio and video, increasing production costs in the long run.
