Yes - I've had to explain it to a couple of millennials.Now you're showing your age
I don't expect anything to come this year.So my thinking is if we are to get an announcement prior to Christmas it will need to be next week or the following. After that the big companies will well and truly be closing shop for a month or two IMO.
Fingers crossed
Mine Xmas present has already arrived in the way of my XRP and know I don’t know what do, cash some buy more BRN or let it ride, but I could buy a shit load more BRN
If your right then Sean has failed......
Again.

Hi CHIPS,
I don't know why you want to compare brn with qualcomm.
So you have watched the Qualcomm investor presentation then
I am neither invested in Qualcomm, nor have a motivation to invest in them in near future, so no I did not see their presentation.So you have watched the Qualcomm investor presentation then
Same here but I’ll just let it run. I don’t see the point in exchanging a currency that might later be worth more than other currencies for a cheaper one. I think if everything goes well, some people will be glad they held on to it. Just my opinion.Mine Xmas present has already arrived in the way of my XRP and know I don’t know what do, cash some buy more BRN or let it ride, but I could buy a shit load more BRN

One of our partners Prophesee is a supplier to Qualcomm.

You are right Bravo we need not compete with tech behemoths.That's a great point @manny100.
It might be a simplistic way of looking at things, but for me it boils down to two particular areas:
If BrainChip's technology can deliver on both of these areas in a meaningful way, then there should be no reason for Qualcomm not to want to integrate it into their products. As has been mentioned numerous times, we are trying to position ourselves as a partner rather than a competitor to behemoths like Qualcomm and NVIDIA.
- performance and efficiency calculated by TOPS/watt, and
- the unique processing capabilities that BrainChip's technology can bring to the table
In terms of determining the TOPS/watt capabilities of Qualcomm's chips, it's a bit tricky because there doesn't seem to be any specified values from the manufacturer on power consumption measurements. In this instance, the authors of one article (published 20 June 2024, linked below) estimated via their own power consumption measurements that "the most efficient power range of the Snapdragon X Elite chips seems to be 20-30 Watts".
AKIDA's Pico on the other hand operates in the microwatt (μW) to milliwatt (mW) range.
When it comes to the process that BrainChip's technology allows for, we can look to Max Maxfiled's latest article "Taking the Size and Power of Extreme Edge AI/ML to the Extreme Minimum" dated 21 Nov 2024. The obvious benefit is that you can "feed the event-based data from the camera directly to the event-based Akida processor, thereby cutting latency and power consumption to a minimum", as compared to other available techniques.
The big question is whether Qualcomm would see any value in adopting this type technology into their own products and I think that Judd Heape, VP for product management of camera, computer vision and video at Qualcomm Technologies, might have actually answered that question in an EE Times article dated 22 March 2023 when he stated the following.

Hi @FrangipaniToday, numerous articles on some of the promising future technologies Mercedes-Benz is exploring were published online, after the carmaker had recently invited journalists to its Future Technologies Lab in Sindelfingen.
And of course - you guessed it - neuromorphic computing was one of them.
(I also find solar coating another interesting concept).
There was also a press release by MB itself:

Neuromorphic Computer soll Energiebedarf einschränken
Zukünftige Fahrzeuge werden mehr Funktionen wie autonomes Fahren bieten, was den Energiebedarf steigert. Mercedes-Benz setzt auf Neuromorphic Computing, um KI effizienter zu machen und den Energieverbrauch um bis zu 90 % zu senken.

German magazine auto, motor und sport published both an online article and a video on MB & neuromorphic computing earlier today (both in German) that literally confirm what I’ve been suspecting: that Mercedes-Benz is nowhere near to implementing neuromorphic technology at scale into their serial cars…
Sparsame KI-Chips fürs automatisierte Fahren: Neue KI-Chips von Mercedes für mehr Reichweite
Mercedes forscht an neuromorphen KI-Chips, die den Energiehunger künstlicher Intelligenz in der Elektronik fürs autonome Fahren eindämmen sollen. Aktuell würde ein Level-4-System nämlich die Reichweite eines E-Autos um bis zu 30 Prozent verringern. Wie die Technik funktioniert und was...www.auto-motor-und-sport.de
“Der Weg in die Serie ist noch weit.” - “It’s still a long way to serial cars”.
“Bis neuromorphe Chips ihren Weg ins Auto finden, wird es wohl noch einige Jahre dauern.” - “It’ll probably take a few years / It looks as if it will still take a few years until neuromorphic chips will find their way into (serial) cars.”

Mercedes forscht an neuer KI-Technik: Mit mehr Effizienz zum automatisierten Fahren
Um den Energiehunger von KI-Systemen zu stillen forscht Mercedes an neuromorpher Hardware, mit der autonomes Fahren effizienter werden soll.www.auto-motor-und-sport.de
“Diese Technologie steht jedoch noch am Anfang und erfordert umfangreiche Tests und Zertifizierungen, bevor sie in Autos eingesetzt werden kann.”
“However, this technology is still in its infancy and requires extensive testing and certification before it can be used in cars.”
Something similar is said in the video itself around the 5 min mark.

My guess is that the next Mercedes-Benz LinkedIn post regarding NC will give us some more details about the research collaboration with HKA (Hochschule Karlsruhe) on neuromorphic cameras. Or it might be a post announcing the collaboration between Mercedes and Neurobus that I had spotted on Nov 12 (https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-441454).
