From my satisfaction point I want to see a revenue of 5 million and 5 ip sales by end of 2025. That will put company back on track to where it should be. Luckily team brainchip already announced revenue worth 3 million,That review of mine was made around 2.5 years ago (about) and I'll still quietly weigh things up, my personal holding has
gone down quite a lot, just under 2.5 million at my peak and now around 1.1 million....that announcement last week was
very good, but the more I think about it, well, real revenue may not appear if the 2025/2026 contract fails to make solid
progress, if we and the subcontractor hit paydirt, well, lets all be 100% frank, revenue may not show up until 2027/2028.
I personally still need to see some "real traction" as 2025 unfolds, all this talk about EAP's and NDA's it's been going on for
many years, and I'm sure many feel the same way as I do, so to sum up, yes I'll spend a week mulling over things, generally
at this point I'm happy, but not really satisfied if you get my drift....it's that same old story.
( 3 million revenue include Usd 1.8 million from AFRL, €0.15 million from frontgrade,
Ip sale revenue will be on top of sales revenue to me)
and one ip sale by end of 2024.
That means almost 25% is achieved on my target of end of 2025.

Looks like this guy has said something nice for once. But I still reckon Mr Hyde will come out later today.....

Why is the Brainchip share price rocketing 14% today?
The Brainchip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN) share price is charging higher on Monday after the company released some big news...

Great Ann....wonder if FG could be the one in the mix for the recent AFRL contract?
Meanwhile....looks like the team got the party bus running again finally

May be a good excitement for short term holders but no deal from long term holders, especially in today's conditions.

Last night I was revisiting when my 1st purchase was made (June 2015) and why I invested. The reason I invested still remains in tact - a disruptive technology that has a very real possibility of success. The road has been very long with moments of doubt but i think we're finally gaining some real traction. Definitely need more substantial contracts in 2025 but the contracts recently announced add substantial validation and brand awareness to our products.
If you look at the all data graphs of companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Nvidia and Apple you'll get a better feel for the time taken to have brilliant return - hopefully our road is a little bit shorter.
My ultimate aim is for Brainchip to remain an independent entity and produce dividends but I think the more likely outcome, once we secure 1 to 2 medium to large contracts, is a buyout will eventuate - hopefully a very large offer.

Nice to have a deal but this is very minimal. Frontgrade Gaiser do not generate much revenue as a company. BRN need something solid with a customer that generates big numbers

They may have low revenue but high reach. Now with a good technology on their side, revenue will also start following them.
Space is such a big industry but still a tiny friction of potential it can hold for mankind.
To me or is a small step in the greater journey.

One might even say......"That's one small step for Akida, one giant leap for BrainChip."
I think we are finally on our way.
Still some hard yards to travel no doubt, but with more positive confirmations along the way,
perhaps we can traverse the road ahead with a lighter heart and fewer parasites.
Bring it, BrainChip!

“Asked ChatGPT to help figure out a potential estimated revenue ... if this is anywhere near reality this is going to go moon again.
Prompt: How many microprocessors does Frontgrade sell annually
ChatGPT: Frontgrade Technologies, formerly known as CAES Space Systems, specializes in high-reliability microprocessors and microcontrollers for space, aerospace, and defense applications. Their products, such as the LEON (SPARC) and NOEL-V (RISC-V) processors, are designed to operate in extreme environments. FrontGradeSpecific annual sales figures for Frontgrade's microprocessors are not publicly disclosed. Given the specialized nature of their products and the niche markets they serve, it's likely that their annual sales volumes are relatively modest compared to consumer electronics manufacturers.For precise sales data, you might consider reaching out directly to Frontgrade Technologies through their official website.
Prompt: Can you take a calculated guesstimate of the number?
ChatGPT: To estimate the number of microprocessors Frontgrade sells annually, we can make the following assumptions and calculations based on their niche market:Assumptions:Market Specialization: Frontgrade focuses on space, aerospace, and defense, which are low-volume but high-value markets.Primary Customers: Likely include satellite manufacturers, defense contractors, and space agencies (e.g., NASA, ESA, etc.).Typical Orders: These industries often require custom or radiation-hardened processors in small batches, ranging from tens to a few hundred per order.Competitor Benchmarks: Companies like BAE Systems and Cobham in similar niches also operate at relatively small production scales.Estimate:Assume Frontgrade supplies microprocessors to 100-200 projects annually (e.g., satellites, defense systems, or aerospace applications).Average 5-50 processors per project, depending on complexity and redundancy requirements.Total: 500 to 10,000 processors annually.This range reflects the specialized, low-volume nature of the aerospace and defense industries. The actual figure likely skews toward the lower end due to the high cost and niche application of radiation-hardened processors.
Prompt: And how much are their microprocessors on average, cost wise?
ChatGPT: Frontgrade's microprocessors, being specialized for aerospace, defense, and space applications, are designed to meet stringent requirements such as radiation hardening, extreme reliability, and high performance. This drives their costs significantly higher than consumer-grade processors.Estimated Cost Range:Radiation-Hardened Processors:Typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 per unit, depending on the complexity, performance, and radiation hardening level.For example, space-grade processors like the RAD750 (from BAE Systems, a comparable product) cost around $200,000 each.Custom Orders or High-End Models:For highly specialized or bespoke designs, costs could exceed $500,000 per unit, especially for unique missions or cutting-edge applications.Low-End Applications:Lower-spec radiation-tolerant microcontrollers may cost $10,000 to $50,000 per unit.Average Cost Estimate:Taking into account the range of products and typical aerospace/space customer needs, a reasonable average price for Frontgrade's microprocessors would likely fall between $100,000 and $150,000 per unit.This aligns with the industry’s cost structure, given the high-value, low-volume nature of the market.
Prompt: Brainchip have just announced a licensing agreement with Frontgrade who will look to sell microprocessors with their neuromorphic IP integrated into a silicon on a chip solution. Can you estimate, based on a logical share of microprocessor products featuring Brainchips IP, how much revenue Brainchip might make if they’re receiving 10% royalty on the next sales prices of the Frontgrade Processor (assume the microprocessor costs $50,000 per unit). Show your calculations
ChatGPT: To estimate BrainChip's potential revenue from a 10% royalty agreement with Frontgrade, let's calculate based on the provided assumptions:Assumptionsrocessor Cost: $50,000 per unit.Royalty Rate: 10% of the selling price.Estimated Units Sold Annually: 500 to 10,000 (as previously estimated).Share of Products Featuring BrainChip's IP: We'll assume a share of 10%, 25%, and 50% to cover different potential adoption levels.
Results:
BrainChip's annual royalty revenue depends on the adoption rate and total microprocessors sold:
Low Adoption (10%): $250,000 to $5,000,000 annually.
Moderate Adoption (25%): $625,000 to $12,500,000 annually.
High Adoption (50%): $1,250,000 to $25,000,000 annually.
These figures reflect the royalty potential across varying adoption levels, with high-end estimates being more likely in scenarios where neuromorphic computing gains significant traction in aerospace and defense markets”
