San Jose, CA –
July 7, 2025 – Andes Technology (
TWSE: 6533;
SIN: US03420C2089;
ISIN: US03420C1099), the leading supplier of high-efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores and founding premier member of RISC-V International, today announced a major milestone in its U.S. expansion through Condor Computing, a wholly owned subsidiary based in Austin, Texas.
Condor Computing was established by Andes Technology in March 2023 to architect and develop ultra-high-performance RISC-V CPU IP entirely in the United States. Andes’ U.S. operations—spanning both Andes Technology USA and Condor Computing—now comprise nearly 100 employees, with more than 85% dedicated to R&D.
Condor’s mission is to deliver cutting-edge RISC-V CPU IP with best-in-class performance and unprecedented power efficiency, built on a novel, patented microarchitecture. These next-generation cores are fully integrated into the Andes toolchain and ecosystem, enabling customers to seamlessly incorporate advanced compute into their proprietary Systems-on-Chip (SoCs), while benefiting from Andes’ mature tools, frameworks, and global support.
The Condor team recently achieved a major development milestone: Full hardware emulation of its new CPU IP, successfully booting Linux and other operating systems. First customer availability is expected Q4 2025.
“Condor’s microarchitecture combines advanced out-of-order execution with novel hardware techniques to dramatically boost performance-per-watt and silicon efficiency,” said Dr. Charlie Su, President and CTO of Andes Technology. “It’s ideally suited for demanding CPU workloads in AI, automotive compute, applications processing, and beyond.”
According to The SHD Group, Andes holds over 30% share of the global RISC-V IP licensing market. Since launching its first RISC-V core in 2018, Andes has seen its U.S. revenue grow to 31% of total sales—second only to its home region of Taiwan (38%). Condor-designed processor IP is expected to further propel Andes’ growth in high-demand markets where RISC-V’s openness must be paired with top-tier performance and power efficiency—including AI, high-performance embedded, automotive, and data-centric applications.
“Andes Technology continues to scale its investment in the U.S. and Western markets,” said Frankwell Lin, Chairman and CEO of Andes Technology. “The upcoming launch of our first fully U.S.-designed, high-performance processor IP reinforces our long-term commitment to leading the RISC-V revolution.”
Andes Technology and Condor Computing will reveal further technical details and demonstrations of Condor’s new microarchitecture at upcoming conferences including Hot Chips 2025, RISC-V Summit, TSMC OIP, and Super Compute 25. For early-customer engagement, please visit
