MobilFlex - Extended Presentation IBM.pdf

Extended presentation for making the PC a PDC - Personal Data Center, a modern version of once successful mini-systems, like IBM AS400, Sun Micro, Tandem, etc. affordable to all budgets, starting at $1,500 like a Mac PC.

PDC ienables the proliferation and mass adoption of IOT, Edge AI, Edge Computing and all its verticals.

PDC is made possible by proprietary LOT - LAN of Things Accelerators and Chipsets that make currently flat and inefficient x86 architecture a micro-mainframe, with 3x+ more processing capability and no I/O limitations or bottlenecks.

What we do –Elevator Pitch

3. Website: https://mobil-flex.comFounders: Mihai Buta
•As a mainframe expert, Mihai Identified the x86 architecture “birth defect” since its
introduction and presented the solution to Intel, HP and 3COM back in 2007, but it was
way too early and ahead of its time (no wireless, broadband was 2Mps, no iPhone yet);
•Now, that The Moore’s Law ceased to apply, while the need for more I/O and processing at
The Edge continues to expand, there is a growing “Compute Gap” that needs to be filled
and there is no practical solution, in spite of massive investments and efforts.
•Based on my unique blend of skills and experience, combined with my proven ability to
connect the unconnectable and provide practical solutions to most complex problems, we
eliminate the x86 “birth defect” as solution, by bringing the mainframe concepts (with
proprietary improvements) to x86 architecture.
About MobilFlex
Old idea getting more and more actual every day

4. The Compute Gap
The Moore’sLaw is not working anymore, while the data
generation continues to explode.
This creates a growing “compute gap”
Up to 90% of data remains unprocessed
Intel invested $16B+ in “hardware accelerators” to patch the “compute gap”
We ask for $1M to eliminatethe thex86 architecture “birth defect”

12. “LAN of Things” asCo-Processor/Accelerator
LAN of
Things
Accelerator
Classic Co-Processor and/or Accelerator
Simplest implementation that does not require any
modifications to the operating system or the system
software stack.
Mimics an “IOT Gateway” with unique improvements:
•Up 16 M2M concurrent transactions, with no
performance degradation, between any connected
devices regardless of their communication protocol;
•Can aggregate unlimited “data generation” end-points;
•Stage 3 & 4 IOT and AI local processing and intelligence
for superior decision making and Cloud independence,
•Allows access to local resources to other local and
remote Devicesand BYOD, including TinyMLDevices;
•Support for NLP, “Voice Controlled Applications”, No/Lo
Code, ChatGPT, AR/VR, etc.;
Ideal for industrial applications, smart homes, building and
cities, embedded applications.

13. “LAN of Things” as Chipset
LAN of Things
Chipset
Replaces South Bridge & Connectivity
Most beneficial but also the most complex implementation.
Offer all features and benefits of Co-Processor use case, plus:
•Up to 95%+ CPU utilization (80%+ increase);
•3x+ overall processing capability at sameBOM cost;
•Personal Cloud for 10 -20 users;
•Allows most meaningful differentiation to systems integrators;
•Vastly superior machine at the same price as a Mac PC, starting
at $1,500;

14. “LAN of Things” as ConnectivityLayer
LAN ofThings
Using LOT as Connectivity Layer is the most practical
implementation.
•It allows all the performance improvements to be
implemented, like as a Chipset, without having to
replicate the Chipset functionality (of course, with some
$200 BOM cost penalty);
•Ideal for IOT and Computational Storage use cases;
•Our first-choice use case for the POC –Proof of
Concept requested by investors;
•Important: With proper software support, this
implementation can be designed and packaged as
standalone product to be marketed to systems
integrators;

15. LOT is a highly versatile device that, while it will have some
common functionality (like LOT itself), it will be tailored for the
many use cases it can accommodate
LOT -Architecture and Block Diagram -TBD
Function Description
LOT –LAN of Things Sub-system
Unifies all currently disjoint sub-networks (data,
entertainment, automation) and “Things” into a LOT
System Stack Sub-system
Offloads certain system maintenance tasks from the main
CPU
NLP, Voice Control Sub-systems Engines for Natural Language and Voice Commands
ML/AI Sub-systems Engines for ML and AI related processing
Various Functions Accelerators Engines to accelerate functionalitt, as needed
Computational Storage ControllerTBD but it will be the most advanced of its kind

16. Why now
MobilFlex idea was first
presented to Intel, HP and
3COM in 2007
•It received high technical marks,
but it was way ahead of its time,
market was not ready, technology
was not ready
•Today, technology is ready and
the market (desperately) needs it
•800+ CTO’s and 200+ software
companies expressed their
interest in Personal Data Center
Making the PC a PDC
TheendofTheMoore’sLawmadeobviousthex86
architecture“birthdefect”whichitcoveredupfor
sinceitwasintroduced40yearsago
•X86 is a flat and inefficient architecture that is wasting more than
half of its (very expensive these days) computing power,
processing I/O and other system maintenance “chores”;
•HP Lab experts have demonstrated 15 years ago that waste;
•X86 cannot process more that one task at a time, just like a 4-
way stop intersection
There is a growing need and a compelling business case
for an affordable, multi-user, multi-functional, Edge HCI

20. Traction
While we have no sales or customers to report, there are clear signs and indications
that PDC is the “right” product that many are waiting for:
•800+ CTOs expressed their interest in a PDC prototype when available;
•250+ Developers (software companies) want to develop applications;
•My LinkedIn connections grow daily with people who express their admiration for
what we try to accomplish;
•HP CTO recommended MobilFlexto a client in Germany working with auto
makers for a self-driving system (meaning MobilFlexwould deliver what HP
cannot but it is needed);
•Several corporate VCs (like Hynix, Micron) expressed their interest when we
develop past Seed Phase;
•NSF-SBIR, HAX invited us to apply, rejected us for lack of details, or solopreneur;

Several realistic paths
to unicorn status

26. BACKUP SLIDES

27. PC Value Trap & Why Customers will buy
Apple makes (from its 7% PC market share) more profits than HP,
Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Acer combined (with over 60% market share)
MobilFlexoffers Windows PC-OEMs to make
same 20% profit margin ($300 vs $15) as Apple
Facts -Profit margins
Windows PC OEMs (<$15/unit) 2.73%
Wal-Mart (selling groceries) 3.12%
Apple (sellingMac PC) 20%
Intel(down from 65+%) 56%
NVidia, Broadcom (our models) 20%
Industry Standard 20%

28. The global market for industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) was sized at over $544 billion in 2022. The
market is expected to grow in size in the coming years, reaching some 3.3 trillion U.S. dollars by 2030.

30. MobilFlexPromise To PC OEMs:
Converting the PCs you already sell to PDC architecture allows you to:
a.Get out of the “PC Trap” and offer meaningfully differentiated systems and services;
b.Meaningful differentiation lets you to make same 20% profit margin just as Apple;
c.20% profit margin, even for a fraction of your sales, means additional Billions in profits;
d.Establish (finally) a long term relationship with customers that extends after initial sale;
Get out of the
“PC Trap” and
make 20x more
profits
Designed for meaningful differentiation
By design, LOTs give you the ability to use your own “flavor”
of OS, middleware, supporting IOT platform, unique user
