Hi FF,Anyone for some performance figures from the same Forbes article:
"Brainchip offers three Akida IP variants: E, S, and P:
E. The Max Efficiency variant (Akida-E) provides as many as four nodes (or 16 NPUs), runs as fast as 200MHz, delivers the equivalent of 200 GOPS (giga-operations per second) of performance, and needs only milliwatts of power for operation. The company says that this smaller variant is designed for running simpler AI/ML networks and is intended for use in continuously operating equipment where power consumption is at a premium.
S. The Sensor Balanced variant (Akida-S) can be configured with as many as eight nodes (32 NPUs), runs as fast as 500MHz, and delivers the equivalent of 1 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of performance, which is capable of running object detection and classification workloads.
P. The Performance variant (Akida-P) accommodates as many as 128 nodes (512 NPUs), operates as fast as 1.5GHz, and delivers the equivalent of 50 TOPS. The most capable version of the Performance variant includes optional hardware support for vision transformer networks that take the form of additional nodes in the internal Akida mesh network.
The high-end variant can run the full gamut of AI/ML models in Brainchip’s model zoo to perform tasks including classification, detection, segmentation, and prediction. Together, these Akida variants allow a design team to use one AI/ML architecture that scales from low-power configurations that consume mere microwatts of power to high-performance configurations that deliver dozens of TOPS, and according to BrainChip, can perform HD video object detection at 30 frames per second while consuming less than 75 milliwatts, which could result in very compelling portable vision solutions."
Talk about a versatile solution package.

My initial thoughts is that all three could incorporated together and optimized for robotics and cars with each variant tailored to Audio, Visual and
kinesthetic.
