Building a complex SoC is a risky endeavor that demands careful planning, strategic decisions, and collaboration across hardware and software domains. As highlighted in Darren Jones’ RISC-V Summit presentation from Andes Technology, titled “From Blueprint to Reality: Navigating SoC Tradeoffs, IP, and Ecosystem,”… Read More
RISC-V has emerged as a cornerstone of modern computing, offering an open-source alternative to proprietary designs like ARM and x86. Free from licensing fees and highly extensible, RISC-V powers everything from IoT devices to AI accelerators, with over 13 billion cores shipped globally. Annual RISC-V Summits, organized… Read More
For decades, high-performance CPU design has been dominated by traditional out-of-order (OOO) execution architectures. Giants like Intel, Arm, and AMD have refined this approach into an industry standard—balancing performance and complexity through increasingly sophisticated schedulers, speculation, and runtime … Read More
Shanghai, July 19, 2025 — S2C, a leader in functional verification, showcased its latest digital EDA solutions and key partnerships with BOSC, Xuantie, and Andes Technology at RISC-V Summit China 2025, highlighting its contributions to the ecosystem. The company also played a leading role in the EDA sub-forum, with VP Ying… Read More
Designing a system-on-chip (SoC) has never been more complex—or more critical. With accelerating demands across AI, automotive, and high-performance compute applications, today’s SoC architects face a series of high-stakes tradeoffs from the very beginning. Decisions made during the earliest phases of design—regarding… Read More
As the computing industry seeks more flexible, scalable, and open hardware architectures, RISC-V has emerged as a compelling alternative to proprietary instruction set architectures. At the forefront of this revolution stands Andes Technology, offering a comprehensive lineup of RISC-V processor solutions that go far beyond… Read More
As it celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, Andes Technology stands as a defining force in the RISC-V movement—an open computing revolution. What began in 2005 as a bold vision to deliver high-efficiency Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor IP has evolved into a company whose innovations power billions of devices… Read More
RISC-V conferences have been at full capacity and I expect this one will be well attended as well. Andes is the biggest name in RSIC-V. The most notable thing about RISC-V conferences is the content. Not only is the content deep, it is international from the top companies in the industry. It is hard to find a design win these days without… Read More
