System on chips (SoC) have with advanced capabilities have become a need of an hour. With technological advancements in full swing and high demand from users for faster processing speed, SoCs have become specifically designed for gaming and other applications.

Joining hands with firms have great technical expertise for the development of new products is the major strategy adopted by market players. Moreover, chips with gaming capabilities for smartphones have been launched by two major tech giants.Moreover, smartphone manufacturers have been trying to implement these advanced chips in their smartphone to raise processing speed.The demand for SoC is on the rise with partnerships and new product launches offering better capabilities.

According to the report by Allied Market Research, the system on chip market is expected to generate $205.4 billion by 2023. Following are some the activities taking place that would shape the industry in the coming years:

Partnerships for developing advanced SoC design capabilities:

Joining hands with other firms for bringing better and advanced SoC products is a wise decision to gain major market share and expand into new markets with innovative offerings.

BrainChip Holdings Ltd., the leading AI Edge firm, signed an agreement in with Socionext America Inc. (SNA) for development and production of its Akida Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC).This agreement plays a crucial role in bringing Akida NSoC to the market. The partnership will combine different disciplines of engineering and experience in decades of ASIC design with skilled and competent teams of BrainChip in Aliso Viejo, France, and California and Toulouse.Akida is an AI SoC having a complete edge network that includes on-chip inference, training, and unsupervised learning.

It is the first SoC to address AI Edge applications. It supports event-based Spiking Neural Networks and traditional Convolutional Neural Networks.

Socionext is the second-largest ASIC design and development firm of the world. SNA is the American unit of Socionext Inc.

The firm would offer turn-key ASIC services to BrainChip for Akida, including the CPU Complex for internal control & data pre-processing, intellectual property (IP) blocks for the external interfaces, IP verification, place & route of the integrated circuit, final logic design, and managing various operations such as wafer fabrication, assembly, and testing.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd (TSMC), a leading semiconductor technology and wafer fabrication firm will provide wafers, powered by its competitive and cost-efficient 28nm CMOS logic process.

JUST TO REMIND THE DOUBTERS.....What is reality ?...What is perception ?....Is it what we think and see ?
Is it that, because we can't see the finished Akida product that, we think it isn't real ?

Start challenging yourself to how you think and see the world around you....here's a question for you, can you see space/time ?...the answer is yes, but we may all see it differently, depending on your own reality and perception.

Peters 20 plus year journey, is real....that's my reality and perception.....
