ISC-V chips are developing rapidly, and RISC-V shipments will reach 60 billion

At present, the x86 architecture controls the global high-performance computing field, and ARM dominates mobile computing. The emerging RISC-V has become the third largest chip architecture. The previous shipments just exceeded 10 billion, but its development speed is faster. It is expected that 60 billion shipments will be achieved by 2025.

Jack Kang, an executive of SiFive, which provides RISC-V cores, said recently that China's growing interest in RISC-V in recent years has stimulated the popularity of the architecture. By 2025, there will be more than 60 billion RISCs -V The core is integrated into the physical IC.

Not only Chinese companies are interested in RISC-V, but semiconductor companies in Japan, India, and the United States are also actively developing RISC-V products, and the performance of RISC-V chips is getting stronger and stronger, and the systems and software that support it will also be more abundant. .

It is understood that RISC-V does not belong to any company. It is essentially an open standard. It is presented in the form of several manuals. Without corporate authorization, anyone in the world can download and develop their own RISC-V processors according to the manuals.
