Our little company BrainChip tapped out Akida and then the fabrication went very smoothly. I am confident that Renesas will also have such good fortune. I’m hoping for 12 weeks and the chip is in the hands of their customers.
I admire your optimism. If they are already working from existing tried and tested designs (like integrating BrainChip with RISC-V), then I don't think it will take quite as long as a brand-new design.
If I had to venture a guess under favorable conditions, I'd say maybe somewhere between the middle or the end of next year. There are a lot of factors that come into play, and I don't have enough information to be anywhere near close. It's fun to guess, though!
