Santa Clara, Calif. SiFive, Inc. now offers the SiFive Performance P670 and P470 RISC-V processors based on the ratified RISC-V Vector v1.0 Specification including RISC-V Vector Cryptography extensions, SiFive WorldGuard system security, full RISC-V RVA22 profile compliance , Advanced Interrupt Architecture (AIA) compliant interrupt controller, more support for Message Signal Interrupts (MSI) and virtualization (including a separate IOMMU for accelerating virtualized device IO), and scalability with multi-core, multi-cluster support for up to 16 cores.

Renesas Electronics and SiFive, Inc. announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop next-generation, high-end RISC-V solutions for automotive applications. The partnership will also include SiFive licensing the use of their RISC-V core IP portfolio to Renesas.

BrainChip Holdings Ltd, a commercial producer of ultra-low power neuromorphic AI chips and IP, and SiFive, Inc., the founder and leader of RISC-V computing, have combined their respective technologies to offer chip designers optimized AI/ML compute at the edge.

Accelerating AI inference models has become an essential task as we progress towards creating more sophisticated and efficient AI applications. Flexibile and complete AI assistance are critical components for success in the fast-growing AI sector. 

SiFive is currently building a new infrastructure to support accelerated ASIC and FPGA design flows, IP delivery, and SoC development.

SiFive announced the Essential 6-Series of real-time and mid-range application processors ahead of this week’s RISC-V Summit. The company also made its 21G3 release available, which includes a series of updates to their processor IP portfolio.

San Francisco-based fabless semiconductor company SiFive has launched its second high-performance processor P650 claiming to be the fastest licensable RISC-V processor IP core in the market. Within 6 months of the initial launch of the P550, the manufacturer realized the need for some significant upgrades in terms of the performance directly linking to the clock speed frequency.
