Greenspirit,
Here's an article on neurmorphic chips and one on why BrainChip should be avoided like the plague. One article I read on BrainChip's Akida chip indicated that it only uses 4 bit arithmetic.
<<< BrainChip’s secret is relatively straightforward: They claim that most edge and IoT use cases don’t need even 8-bit precision, so the Akida processor relies on 4-bit operations. This reduces every aspect of the chip design, requiring less memory, bandwidth, and operations. The Akida chip is also designed to be scalable, with the option to add multiple 8-core Neural Processing Units, all communicating over a mesh network. >>>
Intel and IBM are also working on neuromorphic ai chips.

I think it would make a lot of sense for Nvidia to buy Brainchip.

NVIDIA swims in a much bigger pond.

Someone will buy them as soon as they prove next year with early access partners that the Akida Chip is a success. This includes NASA not to mention other companies like Automakers and Magik Eye applications for future holographic 3D virtual imagery.

Speculation about who buys who and $3 bucks won’t get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks these days. We see there’s been a lot of volume driving the price up since summer. Since this is now a $400 million USD company with no revenues, the entire thing hinges on the competency of the people making promises. Given the interest we’ve seen and the fair number of Aussie readers we have, we may look to do an updated piece on this company shortly.

Here’s a piece we did on Brainchip: nanalyze.com
The stock should be avoided like the plague.
