Synsense and iniVation are launching Speck, a micropower combined vision sensor and processor SoC, at CES2019 in Las Vegas.Speck is the world’s first complete, single-chip, intelligent neuromorphic vision system for mobile and IoT applications. It delivers smart, always-on vision sensing at a...www.synsense.aiSpeck™: Event-Driven Neuromorphic Vision SoC | SynSense
Speck is the world’s first fully event-driven neuromorphic vision SoC using the dynamic vision sensing and the spiking neural network technology.www.synsense.ai
Speck™ is a fully event-driven neuromorphic vision SoC. Speck™ is able to support large-scale spiking convolutional neural network (sCNN) with a fully asynchronous chip architecture. Speck™ is fully configurable with the spiking neuron capacity of 320K. Furthermore, it integrates the state-of-art dynamic vision sensor (DVS) that enables fully event-driven based, real-time, highly integrated solution for varies dynamic visual scene. For classical applications, Speck™ can provide intelligence upon the scene at only mWs with a response latency in few ms.
Prophesee partnered with SynSense in 2021 to develop a one chip event based smart sensing solution for low power edge AI.

Qualcomm mentioned Prophesee event based cameras will be launched this year in their recent presentation, however, there was no mention of SynSense's Speck.
It's a puzzle this one. Unless Qualcomm will use Prophesee's metavision event based sensor only with their own processor suitable for neuromorphic SNN if they have one.
I am intrigued because the smartphone market dominated by Qualcomm will result in big revenue for BRN if Akida IP is embedded in their chip for Prophesee's event based camera. It took ARM nearly 10 years from when they started to get into smartphones.
Hi @Steve10
A few of us have latched onto that idea with great excitement and I hope Qualcomm does look to include Brainchip in the future for its science fiction qualities. However it was identified via @Bravo and debunked by @Diogenese as NOT being the case currently.
Qualcomm were working with Icatch and another company whose name escapes me to provide it’s AI needs. N
EDIT: the links below discusses Qualcomm‘s tech and although they look the same have different conten:
BRN Discussion Ongoing
Hang on everyone! Put the cork back in the Bollingers. I found this article from April 2022, which discusses Prophesee in collaboration with iCatch on a new event-based imaging sensor. And it repeats the same info as described in Qualcomm's presentation ans well as the slide I posted earlier...

It is however highly likely Brainchip could improve performance but given there has been no announcement re partnership/agreements I don’t think it’s the case as the moment!
On the flip side if another phone company wants to match or beat Qualcomm current technology then a Prophesee/Brainchip event camera in their phone would be a good fix so fingers crossed Apple, Pixel, Nokia etc are developing that.
