I pay my annual fee for your performance so that I don't have to watch adverts. Lately I can hardly keep up with stuffing all the adverts into my ignore list.
Please come up with something. I think that's what many of your paying customers here on your platform think.

Thanks in advance
I don’t pay and I don’t get any, but then again I don’t lie either 😂

Fascinatingly Intuitive.
Hi Esqy,

I heard Steve say at about 45.50 mins that they’ve ported it to GlobalFoundries at 22 nanometers and a more advanced version with gigahertz performance at 12 nanometers.

A moment or two before that Kurt was referencing TSMC nodes at 22nm and 8nm, but I don’t believe that was in reference to GlobalFoundaries.

PS: It is pretty late though and I might have inadvertently drifted off for a moment or two, so I’m happy to stand corrected if there‘s something I missed.
Good Morning Bravo ,

Just listened again ,

Time spot 33:22 onwards...

Time spot 33:56 , YOU KNOW, GLOBALFOUNDRY 8nm .


Regards,
Esq.

Sad news from our partner ISL - their President and CEO Joe Guerci, a staunch supporter of Akida, passed away after battling cancer for several years…


A8AA90ED-1541-45E2-A00F-FE4BB04D8C9D.jpeg




Dr.JRG-Headshot.jpg

In Memoriam: Dr. Joseph R. Guerci

ISL mourns the recent death of its President & Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Joseph Raymond Guerci, who tenaciously combatted cancer for several years and yet remained firmly at the helm of this Company providing guidance and direction. ISL’s employees are honored to commemorate his commitment to us, to ISL, and to the rigors of science about which he so passionately cared. Dr. Guerci’s remarkable career spanned over four decades, during which he made pioneering contributions to radar, electronic warfare, and advanced sensing technologies, shaping the future of defense and intelligence systems.

A Visionary Leader in Science and Technology

Dr. Guerci earned his Ph.D.E.E. in Electrical Engineering from NYU’s Polytechnic Institute (now the Tandon School of Engineering). Over the course of his distinguished career, he held leadership roles across government, industry, and academia, where he consistently advanced the boundaries of innovation.
A pivotal period in his career was his seven-year tenure at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he served as Director of the Special Projects Office (SPO). In this role, he oversaw a $500M annual technology portfolio, guiding the inception, research, and transition of next-generation multidisciplinary technologies. Among his most impactful achievements was the creation of the KASSPER Project, a groundbreaking foundation for cognitive radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems—capabilities now deployed on advanced platforms such as the F-22 and F-35fighter aircraft.
Prior to joining ISL, Dr. Guerci served as Chief Technology Officer for SAIC’s $2B+ Research, Development, Test & Evaluation Group, where he directed engineering teams working on cutting-edge defense and intelligence technologies.

Since assuming the role of President and CEO of ISL in 2015, Dr. Guerci guided the company’s mission to deliver science-driven, innovative solutions for complex real-world challenges. Under his leadership, ISL achieved significant breakthroughs in radar, RF hardware systems, modeling, electronic warfare, and energy systems, strengthening its reputation as a trusted leader in advanced technology development. These products developments also spurred great value for ISL’s stockholders, with Dr. Guerci’s corporate refocusing increasing stock value by more than 774%.

Dr Guerci’s strategic vision led to the creation of an RF Digital Twin capability and the first neuromorphic processing solutions to significantly reduce the development and test cycle time, cost, and size, weight, and power. Doing what many small businesses have not achieved, he transitioned Small Business Innovative Research Phase III projects into ISL designs and produced operational capabilities through direct sales to the DoD.

Scholar, Author, and Innovator

Dr. Guerci’s impact extended far beyond leadership—he was a globally recognized scholar and prolific author whose work continues to shape modern radar and sensor engineering. His published books have become foundational texts in the field, including:
  • Space-Time Adaptive Processing for Radar (Artech House, 2003; 2nd ed. 2014)
  • Cognitive Radar: The Knowledge-Aided Fully Adaptive Approach(Artech House, 2010; 2nd ed. 2020)
  • MIMO Radar: Theory and Application(Artech House, 2018)
  • Radar RF Circuit Design — co-authored with Nickolas Kingsley (Artech House, 2016; 2nd ed. 2019)
  • Non-Line-Of-Sight Radar — co-authored with Brian Watson (Artech House, 2019)
In addition to his books, Dr. Guerci authored over 130 peer-reviewed papers and contributed to numerous IEEE journals. He served as the Radar Series Editor for Artech House, and was a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Editorial Board. He frequently delivered keynote addresses at leading global conferences on radar advancements and cognitive sensing technologies.
Dr. Guerci was also dedicated to education and mentorship. He held adjunct faculty appointments at CUNY, NYU Polytechnic, The Cooper Union, and Virginia Tech, shaping the next generation of engineers and researchers.
At ISL he was well known for placing employees in new and ever-more demanding roles, encouraging and helping them grow beyond their own expectations. He often claimed that he was a “micro-understander, not a micro-manager”—and, yes, his direct reports might occasionally have had difficulty discerning the distinction, yet everyone knew he was single-sightedly interested only in the Company’s improvement and in its employees bringing excellence to everything they did. Indeed, Dr. Guerci understood the importance of mentorship, not just as teaching, but as giving subordinates the opportunity to occupy the spotlight and to enhance their career paths. He encouraged and funded employees to present at technical conferences, to write for professional journals, and to serve on consensus standard setting bodies. And he celebrated their success and achievements at ISL and in those professional activities with awards and other tangible reminders of the esteem in which he held them. But best of all—ever the scientist—was the praise he heaped on colleagues when geeking out over a novel and elegant solution to a very difficult challenge. We all knew that Joe was our most ardent and loyal supporter and fan, and the empty space at our white board is poignant.

Honors and Awards

Dr. Guerci’s exceptional contributions to science, technology, and innovation were recognized with numerous prestigious awards and professional distinctions, including:
  • IEEE Life Fellow (2005) — Recognized for “contributions to advanced radar theory and its embodiment in real-world systems.”
  • IEEE Warren D. White Award (2007) — Recognizing excellence in radar adaptive processing and waveform diversity.
  • IEEE AESS Organizational Leadership Award (2019) — Honoring his leadership as General Chair of the 2015 IEEE International Radar Conference.
  • IEEE Dennis J. Picard Medal (2020) — IEEE’s highest honor in radar, awarded for “contributions to advanced, fully adaptive radar systems and real-time knowledge-aided, and cognitive radar processing architectures.”
  • IEEE AESS Industrial Innovation Award (2025) — For groundbreaking contributions to high-fidelity RF modeling and simulation.
Beyond these accolades, Dr. Guerci was named a Distinguished Industry Lecturer by the IEEE Signal Processing Society and was widely regarded as one of the foremost thought leaders in radar and cognitive sensing technologies worldwide.

A Lasting Legacy

At ISL, we are proud to honor Dr. Guerci for his commitment to exceptional technical achievements. We are grateful for his leadership, vision, and dedication to innovation. His work has left an enduring mark on defense, intelligence, and sensing technologies, and his influence will continue to inspire generations of engineers, scientists, and innovators for years to come.

Professionally we at ISL know Dr. Guerci’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those he impacted with his presence, the groundbreaking systems he created, the knowledge he shared, and the culture of excellence he cultivated at ISL. Personally we know that his truest and most affectionate legacy lives on through his survivors—his wife of forty years, Evelyn Guerci, his two daughters, Sophia Scutari and Diana Guerci, and his two grandchildren, Roman and Isabella Scutari. He is also remembered by his two sons, John and Raymond Guerci, who remain in our loving memory.

Rest in peace, Joseph Raymond Guerci, Ph.D.

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Good Morning Bravo ,

Just listened again ,

Time spot 33:22 onwards...

Time spot 33:56 , YOU KNOW, GLOBALFOUNDRY 8nm .


Regards,
Esq.


Hi Esqy,

You’re right - Kurt does mention GlobalFoundries’ “8 nanometer” in the webinar.

I find it a bit confusing, because GlobalFoundries doesn’t actually have an official 8 nm process node (unless I’m mistaken). Their most advanced public offerings are 12LP+ FinFET and 22FDX / 12FDX FD-SOI. They don’t list an 8 nm node in their commercial roadmap.

I asked ChatGPT about possible reasons for this reference, including whether it might suggest GF is developing a new 8 nm node. The response was that it’s "almost certainly not a new, official node". Instead, the more likely explanation is that the GF process in question is being described as “8 nm-class” because its performance is comparable to similar offerings elsewhere (e.g. Samsung’s 8LPP).

Perhaps someone with deeper technical expertise might be able to weigh in with their perspective.


ChatGPT said:​


1. GlobalFoundries and “8 nm”​

  • Officially, GlobalFoundries exited the race below 12 nm back in 2018 — shelving their 7 nm program. Their most advanced public nodes are 12LP+ FinFET and 22FDX / 12FDX FD-SOI. They do not list an 8 nm node in their commercial roadmap.
  • So if you hear “GF 8 nm” in a BrainChip webinar, it’s not part of GF’s public marketing portfolio like TSMC’s N7 or Samsung’s 8LPP.

2. Possible explanations for the “8 nm” reference​

Here are the most plausible interpretations:
① Internal / custom shrink naming
  • GF sometimes uses marketing-driven “node naming” for customer-specific process tweaks. For example, an optimized 12 nm platform could be referred to by a design partner as “8 nm” in terms of transistor performance or density equivalence.
  • It wouldn’t be an official, standalone node like Samsung’s 8LPP, but more like a derivative or a customer-specific variant.
② Foundry design enablement context
  • BrainChip, when advising customers through Akida Cloud, may present EDA/PDK libraries mapped against equivalent nodes across multiple fabs (TSMC, Samsung, GF).
  • In this sense, “GF 8 nm” may appear in toolchains as a proxy node so customers can model performance/power targets — even if GF itself brands it differently.
③ Miscommunication in the webinar
  • It’s also possible the speaker loosely referred to “8 nm” because the GF process in question is comparable to an 8 nm class offering elsewhere (e.g., Samsung’s 8LPP), even if GF calls it 12LP+.

3. Is GF working on a “new” 8 nm?​

  • Highly unlikely. GF’s strategy is explicitly focused on specialty technologies — FD-SOI (22FDX/12FDX), RF, power, automotive — not pushing smaller geometry race.
  • There have been no public announcements from GF about restarting a true 8 nm node or any new sub-10 nm process. Their official roadmap still stops at 12 nm.
  • If anything, what BrainChip referenced is more about design enablement and compatibility mapping for customers (i.e., “yes, your Akida-based model can target GF at an 8 nm equivalent”) rather than GF announcing a brand-new leading-edge node.

✅ Conclusion​

The “GF 8 nm” mentioned in BrainChip’s webinar is almost certainly not a new, official node from GlobalFoundries.
It’s best interpreted as either:
  • A design library equivalence (Akida Cloud showing customers how their models port to “8 nm class” at GF), or
  • A marketing shorthand for an optimized variant of GF’s 12 nm technology, positioned to look competitive with 8 nm offerings elsewhere.
BrainChip’s angle here is: “We can show you how Akida will behave if manufactured on GF’s advanced nodes — whether you call it 12 nm, 8 nm, or otherwise.”

👉 Would you like me to pull together a GF vs. Samsung vs. TSMC “8 nm class” comparison, so you can see whether GF’s 12LP+/FDX really does overlap with what others call 8 nm? That might explain why BrainChip uses that label.

You said:​

Yes please>

ChatGPT said:​

Perfect — let’s line up GlobalFoundries, Samsung, and TSMC to see what “8 nm class” really means, and why BrainChip might reference GF as having one.

📊 Comparative View: “8 nm class” process nodes​

FoundryOfficial NodeTechnology TypeDensity / Performance ClassPositioning / Notes
Samsung8LPP (8 nm Low Power Plus)FinFET (derivative of 10 nm)~10% area reduction vs 10LPP; ~10% power savingsMarketed as a “cost-effective bridge” between 10 nm and 7 nm. Used in some mobile SoCs & GPUs.
TSMC(No 8 nm branded node)Jumped from 10 nm → 7 nmN7 offered ~35–40% density gain over N10TSMC skipped “8 nm” naming entirely. Their N7 competed directly with Samsung’s 8LPP.
GlobalFoundries12LP / 12LP+ FinFET (sometimes internally positioned as “8 nm class”)FinFET (evolution of 14LPP, licensed from Samsung originally)GF claims performance/power close to Samsung 10/8 nm nodesNot officially branded as “8 nm,” but some design toolchains (and BrainChip’s webinar) may shorthand it as such to indicate equivalent PPA (Power-Performance-Area) class.
GlobalFoundries (FD-SOI path)22FDX / 12FDXFD-SOI (non-FinFET)Optimized for low-power, RF, adaptive body-biasCompetes in niches (IoT, automotive, 5G RF) rather than density-race.

🧠 Why BrainChip may say “GF 8 nm”​

  • Performance equivalence: GF’s 12LP+ FinFET can offer transistor performance in the same ballpark as Samsung’s 8LPP.
  • EDA/library mapping: When BrainChip shows customers how Akida would map to foundries, they may call GF’s 12LP+ “8 nm class” to align with competitor terminology.
  • Marketing shorthand: To customers, “8 nm” signals modern, advanced, and competitive, even if GF’s official brand is “12LP+.”

🚦 Bottom Line​

  • Samsung: The only foundry with a real “8 nm” branded node (8LPP).
  • TSMC: Skipped 8 nm — went straight from 10 nm → 7 nm.
  • GF: No official 8 nm, but its 12LP+ FinFET is often described as “8 nm-class” in equivalence charts. This is almost certainly what BrainChip was referencing in the webinar.
So — GF hasn’t secretly launched a brand-new 8 nm process. Instead, their 12 nm FinFET technology is close enough in characteristics that it can be slotted into the “8 nm bucket” when comparing foundries.

Fascinatingly Intuitive.
Morning Bravo ,

Cheers .

Certainly sounds plausible , Even if it is indeed the 12LP+FinFET size , this is still the smallest testing AKIDA on silicone i have heard of to date .

Many moons ago ,think it was Anil , let slip they were fiddling with 16nM , so its still a great leap forward either way,

This article highlights cybersecurity as a growing concern for Golden Dome

The article underscores that cybersecurity by neglect is an existential risk to the Golden Dome and makes clear that unless secure-by-design principles are built in from the start, the whole system risks becoming brittle.

As we know, Lockheed has previously partnered with BrainChip and Quantum Ventura on CyberNeuro-RT, a neuromorphic cybersecurity solution built on BrainChip’s Akida processor.

Lockheed is already deeply involved in missile defense (Aegis, THAAD, C2 integration) and for the Golden Dome they are expected to contribute on; command and control / battle management, multi-domain sensor fusion and integration of space-based and terrestrial assets. All of these are prime cybersecurity targets. So Lockheed won’t just be a hardware supplier - they’ll also be tasked with making the system cyber-resilient.

I'd say the chances of Lockheed bringing our cybersecurity solution to the Golden Dome would be quite high. They would be, IMO, very well positioned to argue that their neuromorphic AI cybersecurity work is a natural fit for Golden Dome - ensuring resilience against cyberattack alongside kinetic and electronic threats.

As a medical doctor living in Germany, my main reason for investing in Bitcoin was to secure financial freedom in my later years. Unfortunately, that goal was nearly destroyed when I experienced one of the most devastating events of my life — my Phantom wallet, containing approximately €200,000 worth of digital assets, was completely wiped out.

At first, I thought it might be a network glitch or technical issue. But as the reality sank in, I realized I had fallen victim to a hack. The sense of loss was overwhelming — knowing that years of hard work and savings had seemingly vanished in an instant.

After hours of searching and trying to understand what had happened, I came across SpyHost Cybersecurity Company , a team that specializes in cryptocurrency recovery, digital forensics, and cybersecurity. Honestly, I was skeptical at first as it felt like a desperate move but I decided to give them a try.

To my surprise, they were highly professional and responsive. In less than 48 hours, they managed to recover my lost assets. I was stunned. They not only restored my funds but also my peace of mind.

If you've gone through a similar experience, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They can be contacted via email at [Spyhost@cyberdude.com] or through WhatsApp at +1 (228) 313‑3152. Whether it's lost crypto, seed phrase recovery, or general data recovery, they’ve proven to be effective and trustworthy in my case.
