I'm tempted to have a couple of cupcakes with the next coffee I have. They'll go down well I feeeeel, maybe will take two shots/ spikes to satisfy fully,Hi Damo,
This is great news ... and this seems to be a longer term project which means that it may incorporate Akida 2:

BrainChip and Unigen Partner to Deliver Powerful, Energy-Efficient Edge AI Server
Brainchip and VVDN are collaborating to bring the future of AI closer to the present. Don't miss this important announcement!brainchip.com
Laguna Hills, Calif. – DATE, 2023 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI IP, and Unigen Corporation, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of enterprise and industrial electronics, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver a new configuration of the recently released Unigen Cupcake Edge AI Server, a compact and powerful solution based on BrainChip’s Akida™ neuromorphic processor.
However, as with VVDN, there are competitor products in the Unigen Edge AI server stable:

Unigen’s Cupcake
Unigen’s newly released turnkey server is also a contender for computer vision use cases, according to the vendor. Cupcake is designed to be low power, low latency and high performance, using an Intel Elkhart Lake 4-core Atom processor that is matched to AI modules from partners including Blaize, Hailo, Degirum and MemryX. The modules connect to the server through an E1.S interface.
Cupcake can help conduct near real-time inferencing that can be used in security and safety use cases, such as shutting down manufacturing equipment that malfunctions, according to the vendor. While improving safety is important, specific uses have a limited return, according to Baron Fung, an analyst at Dell’Oro Group, an IT market research firm headquartered in Silicon Valley. A limited return wouldn’t prompt investment as much as broader use cases.
“Users will need the same platform that can be utilized across different applications [of the technology] that are similar,” Fung said. Companies are looking for application options from vendors rather than developing their own, he said. But as the market matures, there will be more demand for edge AI devices such as Unigen’s.
I'm only familiar with Hailo. They do not use SNN. Instead they use MAC with some sparsity. However, this will be more power-hungry and slower than Akida.
Unigen's Cupcake's should taste very nice, especially if there chocky ones
