22M+ changed hands tho' JoMo. Probably Larry and Pom goin' hell for leather; they've been quiet.
Thank you very much for your response!!I don't see why not—unless Qualcomm is already working on a new iteration of Snapdragon that incorporates features similar to AKIDA. How feasible that is, I'm not entirely sure.
As far as I know, the current Snapdragon product isn't neuromorphic, isn't event-based, doesn't operate at ultra-low power, and doesn’t support real-time on-device learning.
Judd Heape, VP of Product Management for Camera, Computer Vision, and Video at Qualcomm Technologies, was quoted in a June 2023 EE Times article saying, “These event-based sensors are much more efficient because they can be programmed to easily detect motion at very low power. When there’s no movement or change in the scene, the sensor consumes almost no power. So that’s really interesting to us.”
In that context, he was referring to Prophesee and image-based sensors, but the underlying principle still applies I would have thought—event-based sensors just make sense. And AKIDA is event-based.
We also know that a drone company is exploring a combination of AKIDA and Prophesee’s camera. Not Snapdragon. That says something.
So why wouldn’t Qualcomm want to integrate our technology to gain a foothold in new markets—especially ones that are battery-powered and highly power-constrained? Surely paying for a licence would be chicken feed for the likes of Qualcomm, so I honestly don't know why they wouldn't be considering it.
Maybe someone with deeper technical insight can weigh in here.

Manny100 some good new I feel after emailing Tony to ask if he could find out what brainchip thoughts were in this latest Qualcomm stopping Brainchip and the response is as follows
I referred your email to our CTO Dr Tony Lewis. He replied to me that this was a temporary situation as Qualcomm had to review all contracts and commercial arrangements. He said he was not concerned

The partnership leverages BrainChip’s Akida processor, which offers ultra-low power, high-performance neuromorphic computing for edge applications in aerospace and defense.
ISL has successfully used Akida to implement real-time radar signal processing algorithms, achieving cost-effective and efficient solutions for edge computing.
“We have proven the efficacy of using BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic chip to implement some of the most challenging real-time radar/EW signal processing algorithms,” says Dr. Joseph R. Guerci, ISL President and CEO. “This was accomplished by combining ISL’s advanced RF Digital Engineering tools with BrainChip’s developer’s kit. This combination resulted in a low cost, size, weight and power (SWaP-C) solution for challenging edge computing applications in aerospace and defense.”
BrainChip’s Akida processor mimics the human brain, enabling efficient, low-latency, and secure AI processing directly on devices without relying on the cloud.
BrainChip recently launched the Akida Edge AI Box, a compact AI/ML processing appliance for various industries.

Even Alf finds this post inciteful
On another note, I wonder if MB post again and say they "... in collaboration..." with BRN to integrate AKIDA into future gen cars, would our SP spike back up to $2.34, or something similar?
I guess, I'm pissed off like others here, just trying to understand why the dozen or so other announcements since the MB "media release" haven't done anything other than drop the SP. I also wonder if the tactic is to get the SP as low as possible prior to the redomicile so that US investors can buy in big and cheaply?

Extreme Fear, is still driving the markets (actually the lowest reading I've "noticed" these past couple of days).
Looks like US markets will take another hit and Left leaning media are stoking the fire, as it makes Trump look bad and they Love that.
I think our share price is holding up pretty well, while down.
We may see the US markets start to get better towards the mid or end of their session, while there is Fear though, the markets are simply not rational.
Do people want the US, or China to be the Strongest Economy and calling the shots in the World?
China, would Love to be the World's "cop" (free Mandarin lessons included) and that's the direction things were headed.
We as a Company, have a very strong relationship with the US and recent military developmental progress, has shown this.
The US, although virtually saying they are 'taking a break" from being everybody's big Brother (not in the "1984" sense) in fact need to build themselves up again, in order to do that.
We will be part of that.
Just my thoughts.
Good Fortune to All

Gee a lot of stockbrokers much watch the left leaning media DB.......they are the ones who are selling........wonder why they are selling??? Can't be your mate Donald's fault could it?? FFS give it a rest mate. I will stop from replying to your cult-like Trumpism on this main thread if you agree to do the same. I am sure everyone else will be happy if we do it privately like we have been over the last day or two....as per your initial private message to me.View attachment 81666

The 'World's Most Advanced Microchip' Has Been Unveiled
On April 1, 2025, the Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC introduced the world's most advanced microchip: the 2 nanometre (2nm) chip.
Mass production is expected for the second half of the year, and TSMC promises it will represent a major step forward in performance and efficiency – potentially reshaping the technological landscape.
Microchips are the foundation of modern technology, found in nearly all electronic devices, from electric toothbrushes and smartphones to laptops and household appliances. They are made by layering and etching materials like silicon to create microscopic circuits containing billions of transistors.
These transistors are effectively tiny switches, managing the flow of electricity and allowing computers to work. In general, the more transistors a chip contains, the faster and more powerful it becomes.
The microchip industry consistently endeavours to pack more transistors into a smaller area, leading to faster, more powerful, and energy efficient technological devices.
Compared to the previous most advanced chip, known as 3nm chips, TSMC's 2nm technology should deliver notable benefits. These include a 10%-15% boost in computing speed at the same power level or a 20-30% reduction in power usage at the same speed.
Additionally, transistor density in 2nm chips is increased by about 15%, over and above the 3nm technology. This should enable devices to operate faster, consume less energy, and manage more complex tasks efficiently.
Taiwan's microchip industry is closely tied into its security. It is sometimes referred to as the "silicon shield", because its widespread economic importance incentivises the US and allies to defend Taiwan against the possibility of Chinese invasion.
TSMC recently struck a US$100 billion deal (£76 billion) to build five new US factories. However, there is uncertainty over whether the 2nm chips can be manufactured outside Taiwan, as some officials are concerned that could undermine the island's security.
Established in 1987, TSMC, which stands for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, manufactures chips for other companies. Taiwan accounts for 60% of the global "foundry" market (the outsourcing of semiconductor manufacturing) and the vast majority of that comes from TSMC alone.
TSMC's super-advanced microchips are used by other companies in a wide range of devices. It manufactures Apple's A-series processors used in iPhones, iPads, and Macs, it produces NVidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) used for machine learning and AI applications.
It also makes AMD's Ryzen and EPYC processors used by supercomputers worldwide, and it produces Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors, used by Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Google phones.
In 2020, TSMC started a special microchip miniaturisation process, called 5nm FinFET technology, that played a crucial role in smartphone and high-performance computing (HPC) development. HPC is the practice of getting multiple processors to work simultaneously on complex computing problems.
Two years later, TSMC launched a 3nm miniaturisation process based on even smaller microchips. This further enhanced performance and power efficiency. Apple's A-series processor, for example, is based on this technology.
Smartphones, laptops and tablets with 2nm chips could benefit from better performance and longer battery life. This will lead to smaller, lighter devices without sacrificing power.
The efficiency and speed of 2nm chips has the potential to enhance AI-based applications such as voice assistants, real time language translation, and autonomous computer systems (those designed to work with minimal to no human input).
Data centres could experience reduced energy consumption and improved processing capabilities, contributing to environmental sustainability goals.
Sectors like autonomous vehicles and robotics could benefit from the increased processing speed and reliability of the new chips, making these technologies safer and more practical for widespread adoption.
This all sounds really promising, but while 2nm chips represent a technological milestone, they also pose challenges. The first one is related to the manufacturing complexity.
Producing 2nm chips requires cutting-edge techniques like extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. This complex and expensive process increases production costs and demands extremely high precision.
Another big issue is heat. Even with relatively lower consumption, as transistors shrink and densities increase, managing heat dissipation becomes a critical challenge.
Overheating can impact chip performance and durability. In addition, at such a small scale, traditional materials like silicon may reach their performance limits, requiring the exploration of different materials.
That said, the enhanced computational power, energy efficiency, and miniaturisation enabled by these chips could be a gateway to a new era of consumer and industrial computing.
Smaller chips could lead to breakthroughs in tomorrow's technology, creating devices that are not only powerful but also discreet and more environmentally friendly.
