Hi Labsy....very pleased for you being in your 40's and holding Brainchip stock...such a great decision you have made !

Interesting how "Disney" got a mention...they are working with Robotics in the AI space, also video streaming etc...such a
good fit with the release of AKD 2.0....were Sean and Geoff talking about our engagements prior to the Podcast in private,
meaning, Geoff's subconscious mind was coughing up the words Mercedes, Disney and Tesla. purely speculative of course.

I am truly "hoping" to hear that another 2 companies have signed an IP License by years end...which 2, any 2 !!

Tech

Look what I’ve found…

“DisneyResearch|Studios in Zurich, Switzerland, focuses on exploring the scientific frontiers in a variety of domains in service to the technical and creative filmmaking process. Our world-class research talent in visual computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence shapes early-stage ideas into technological innovations that revolutionize the way we produce movies and create media content (…)
To complement our considerable research talent, DisneyResearch|Studios maintains a close academic partnership with ETH Zürich—supporting joint research programs and PhD students—but also collaborates with the best of academia and industry from all over the world.”

So yes, maybe there is indeed more to Disney than just a fleeting mention of the name as a random example of a world-class company during the podcast. I wonder if Geoffrey knows Moore than we do.

Mind you, this is mere speculation, I didn’t find any direct links to Brainchip.
And keep in mind that Zürich is also home to the renowned Institute of Neuroinformatics (INI), which was established at the University of Zürich and ETH Zürich at the end of 1995. With its focus on neuromorphic engineering, INI has been a fertile breeding ground for spin-offs such as IniLabs, iniVation (they are the ones that have been collaborating with WSU‘s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems and the RAAF & UNSW Canberra Space resp. US Air Force on neuromorphic event cameras in space - let’s keep our fingers crossed that Brainchip will be involved in the Falcon Neuro’s follow-on experiment Falcon ODIN planned for later this year) and SynSense.
Then again, Disney could of course be collaborating with several competing companies to find out which ones best suit their needs.

To quote Disney’s Aladdin:
„A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us “no“, or where to go
Or say we‘re only dreaming…”

Unfortunately no. Xperi has a competing NCU chip (Perceive Ergo) that's not exactly truly neuromorphic in architecture (uses MAC functions, at least in the first version, no info on second info to suggest a change). @Diogenese I believe has had a look at Xperi about 2 years ago on that other place where the grass is browner.

Yes. understand exactly what you are saying in regards to Xperi.
I was essentially referencing part of the post where it states 'powered by PROPHESEE Event-Based Metavision® sensor.'

When looking further into Event-Based Metavision you get the following:
One for Akida.
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/updat...date:(V2,urn:li:activity:6944573360253059072)
For balance. One for Snapdragon (in smartphones)

Does it have Akida? Ultimately until it is definitively answered it still speculation.

I love this part @Tothemoon24!

According to Arm, more than 90% of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems use the company’s chip designs. The architectures are also found in various under-the-hood applications, including meter clusters, e-mirrors, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control.

If I was Arm, I would be incorporating AKIDA, into not just in the Cortex M based MCU's but into the A and R based MCU's as well, just to cover all bases.

Continuing on from the above ramblings, if Arm were to incorporate AKIDA 1500 in all of its M based MCU's then it would tie in nicely with Renesas plans to in regards to the 22nm RA-family which is being sampled right now with select customers with plans for general availability towards the end of the year. Seems to marry in nicely with the tape out times of Global Foundaries 22nm AKIDA 1500.

We know AKIDA is compatible with all of Arm's product families , so it wouldn't make sense just to incorporate it with Cortex M-85, would it?

Why stop there?

IMO.

Renesas Electronics has announced sampling of its first microcontroller to be built on a 22nm semiconductor process node — an RA-family 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33-based chip with Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (BLE) provided via an on-board software-defined radio (SDR).
"Renesas' MCU [Microcontroller Unit] leadership is based on a wide array of products and manufacturing process technologies," boasts Renesas' Roger Wendelken of the sampling. "We are pleased to announce the first 22nm product development in the RA MCU family which will pave the way for next generation devices that will help customers to future proof their design while ensuring long term availability. We are committed to providing the best performance, ease-of-use, and the latest features on the market. This advancement is only the beginning."

Renesas has announced a new RA-class microcontroller with SDR-powered Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (BLE) support, built on a 22nm process node. (: Renesas)

Modern semiconductor manufacturing processes are measured, after a fashion, in nanometers — once the size of a given feature, then the smallest gap between features, and now a somewhat hand-wavy way of differentiating a next-generation process node from a previous one. While bleeding-edge high-frequency application class processors, like those from Intel or AMD, are now playing with single-digit nanometer process nodes, traditionally microcontrollers — needing to pack in far fewer transistors than high-performance application processors — have stuck with proven, and more affordable, double- or triple-digit process nodes.
That's key to why Renesas' announcement of a part built on a 22nm process node, a node which Intel began using back in 2012 for its Ivy Bridge family of chips before moving to 14nm for Broadwell in 2014, is notable: for microcontrollers, 22nm is an advanced node indeed. It allows the company to pack more components into a given area, and Renesas has taken full advantage of that extra capacity by fitting the chip with a software-defined radio (SDR) — powering Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (BLE) connectivity with direction-finding and low-power audio capabilities at launch, but upgradeable post-release to support new radio protocols and standards as-required.

The new microcontroller enters the RA family, alongside the recently-launched entry-line RA4E2. (: Renesas)

The shift to a 22nm node will also bring with it an overall reduction in part size and gains in efficiency which can be exploited as either increased performance for the same power draw or a lower power draw for the same performance — or a balanced combination of the two. Renesas has not, however, yet shared full specifications for the part, including frequency and power requirements.
Renesas is now sampling the 22nm RA-family chips to "select customers," with plans for general availability towards the end of the year. Parties interested in requesting a sample should contact their local sales office for more details,

Hi Sirod69.....thanks for that breakdown.

Nice to see Peter and Anil still sitting at number 2 & 3 respectively...holding 13.75% of the company, plus 56.52% currently being held by
the rest of us outside the top 20...combined giving a nice 70.27% of the company...just an observation at this point, nothing more than that.

Regarding some nice news to drop just prior to the AGM, legally the company can't sit on information to make the timing of that possible,
it either plays out that way or not, maybe we could ask that the signing of a new IP License takes place on 22 May, that would work

This has also paved the way for a blossoming newbranch of AI dedicated to processing the event-based data thesesensors generate. However, there is still much debate about whichof these approaches can best harness the inherent sparsity, low-latency and fine spatiotemporal structure of event-data to obtainbetter performance and do so using the least time and energy.The latter is of particular importance since these algorithms willtypically be employed near or inside of the sensor at the edgewhere the power supply may be heavily constrained. The twopredominant methods to process visual events - convolutionaland spiking neural networks - are fundamentally opposed inprinciple. The former converts events into static 2D frames suchthat they are compatible with 2D convolutions, while the lattercomputes in an event-driven fashion naturally compatible withthe raw data. We review this dichotomy by studying recentalgorithmic and hardware advances of both approaches. Weconclude with a perspective on an emerging alternative approachwhereby events are transformed into a graph data structure andthereafter processed using techniques from the domain of graphneural networks. Despite promising early results, algorithmic andhardware innovations are required before this approach can beapplied close or within the Event-based sensor.
