If in 4 months we sign a 5 year multi licence with a semiconductor company Brainchilp will instantly be profitable.. . The reference to 4 months. .
We shall see..

TENNS in laymans terms::
Explains in simple terms why TENNS is superior.
Spatial and Temporal Integration:
Imagine you’re watching a video.
Spatial information refers to what you see in each frame (like objects, colors, and shapes).
Temporal information is how things change over time (like motion, patterns, and sequences).
TENNs combine both aspects effectively. They’re like having eyes that not only see the picture but also understand how it changes from frame to frame.
Traditional Approaches:
Think of traditional methods as separate tools: one for pictures (CNNs) and another for understanding sequences (RNNs).
CNNs are great at recognizing objects in images but struggle with dynamic changes.
RNNs handle sequences well but have limitations like slow learning and memory issues.
TENNs Bridge the Gap:
TENNs are like a hybrid tool that merges the best of both worlds.
They process video frames while considering how things evolve over time. This makes them superior for tasks like detecting moving objects or understanding audio patterns.
In summary, TENNs are like smart glasses that see both the picture and the movie, making them better at handling sequential data!

eeNews Europe — Renesas is taping out a chip using the spiking neural network (SNN) technology developed by Brainchip.​

Dec 2, 2022 – Nick Flaherty

This is part of a move to boost the leading edge performance of its chips for the Internet of Things, Sailesh Chittipeddi became Executive Vice President and General Manager of IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit at Renesas Electronics and the former CEO of IDT tells eeNews Europe.

• ARM battles RISC-V at Renesas
• Renesas to show first ARM M85 silicon

This strategy has seen the company develop the first silicon for ARM’s M85 and RISC-V cores, along with new capacity and foundry deals.
“We are very happy to be at the leading edge and now we have made a rapid transition to address our ARM shortfall but we realise the challenges in the marketplace and introduced the RISC-V products to make sure we don’t fall behind in the new architectures,” he said.
“Our next move is to more advanced technology nodes to push the microcontrollers into the gigahertz regime and that’s where the is overlap with microprocessors. The way I look at it is all about the system performance.”
“Now you have accelerators for driving AI with neural processing units rather than a dual core CPU. We are working with a third party taping out a device in December on 22nm CMOS,” said Chittipeddi.
Brainchip and Renesas signed a deal in December 2020 to implement the spiking neural network technology. Tools are vital for this new area. “The partner gives us the training tools that are needed,” he said.

What ever happened to the tape out

I personally would have had a use it or lose it clause when signing an IP deal.

What ever happened to the tape out

I personally would have had a use it or lose it clause when signing an IP deal.

Other than the demo with Akida and Arm's M85... who knows? It seems Renesas has used Arm Helium in preference to Akida... for now.

Could the Sifive's intelligence x390 processor with NPU be from this tapeout?? "SiFive is playing a pivotal role in propelling the RISC-V industry into new frontiers of performance and applicability. By unveiling processors like the Performance P870/P870A and Intelligence X390, the company is not merely iterating on existing technology but is introducing transformative architectural innovations."

From 2022.... "Renesas Electronics is looking to catch up in the ARM microcontroller and processor markets, but also looking at the emerging RISC-V cores and new spiking AI accelerators to boost machine learning in the Internet of Things (IoT).
