Hello everyone,
I would like to introduce the Australian listed company Brainchip today and some connections or Rumors for the still young company are showing. Since BRN is still a pennystock, we don't need to start with fundamental analysis. I want to take a lot more into the current situation and rumors / chances.
Brainchip Holdings is operating in semiconductor industry and will launch the first and only neuromorphic (brain-like) chip named Akida in the coming months. Production starts at the renowned company TSMC in the next few months (March / April).
Other features of the chip: One shot learning, AI at the Edge, On Chip learning - no cloud needed to learn anymore, very low energy demand, low sales price between $ 10 and $ 15 per chip.
A very decisive factor for me is always the staff behind a company.
The founder Peter van der Made has been researching chips like this for over a decade and has now made the breakthrough with Akida himself, as he says. Peter van der Made is former Chief Scientist of IBM and has become self employed with BRN.
Rob Telson former Sales Manager (vice) ARM for America.
Already known partners:
Renesas (contract), Ford, Magic eye, Valeo, Vorago and NASA known as Early Access Partner. Feel free to look up if needed.
In addition, the partner Vorago also works for SpaceX (Elon Musk), which may lead to an official collaboration. By the way, the California office of Brainchip is a stone's throw away. https://www.voragotech.com/flight-heritage
A few days ago, it was announced that a partner was about to develop a device that is able to detect anomalies in X-ray, CT scans and MRTS. It has already been tested in cancer diagnostics and can detect 17 different types of cancer. Likewise, respiratory sensor data is able to discover COVID-19 Reliability rate already at 98,7 %!
Just read for yourself, here you will find more areas of application: https://brainchipinc.com/the-ai-revolution-radically-different-reliability/
There are many more Early Access partners who are already being researched with. According to CEO L. Di Nardo shouldn't know anything yet due to confidentiality obligations. For example, Bosch is a hot rumor candidate, since Mr DiNardo mentioned in a podcast (found on the Brainchip homepage) a company near Stuttgart with which you cooperate.
What's the competition doing?
First, Brainchip will be the first to release such a neuromorphic chip. With one of the largest competitors is Intel, who don't even plan to commercialize your Loihi chip yet. In the Australian Forum, someone once bothered and compared the two chips. A big difference from Akida to Loihi, but read for yourself: https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/how-advanced-is-akida-technology.5665588/
At some point there will be competition, but then Brainchip will have already established itself a bit far and is either impossible to get away, or will have to be swallowed by one of the big ones. Every day the competition doesn't announce the next step is another day ahead for BRN.
The range of applications is huge and there are still so many topics, but the post is already too long.
5/5 star risk for me but also 5/5 star potential.
I like to listen to feedback or constructive criticism. Have a nice weekend!
