Recently, the five leading industry companies Qualcomm, NXP, Bosch, Infineon and Nordic announced that they will jointly invest in the formation of a chip company specializing in RISC-V architecture, aiming to promote the popularization of RISC-V applications by supporting next-generation hardware.
The new company was established in Germany and will accelerate the commercialization of future products based on the open source RISC-V architecture. At first, RISC-V architecture products will be the first to be used in the automotive field, and then slowly spread to mobile and the Internet. Data show that the RISC-V architecture began in 2010. It is an open source and free instruction set architecture based on the principle of reduced instruction set (RISC). It is also regarded as the third largest CPU architecture that can impact x86 and Arm. It has the characteristics of being completely open, low-cost research and development, and streamlined and flexible. After more than ten years of development, 10 billion processors using RISC-V architecture have been shipped in 2022, while it took 30 years for x86 and ARM architectures to achieve the same shipment scale.According to data from the RISC-V International Foundation, there were 435 RISC-V members in December 2019. Three and a half years later, the number of foundation members reached 4,000, a nearly 10-fold increase. In June this year, Krste Asanovic, the main inventor of RISC–V, co-founder and chief architect of SiFive, said that the difference between RISC-V and x86 and Arm systems is that it is open and not led by a certain company.Therefore, design companies that use this architecture have more independent dominance and will not be restrained by competitors.Moreover, the semiconductor industry needs an open source instruction set architecture business model, and companies will gradually shift to RISC-V, a high-quality open source architecture. Krste Asanovic believes that the development of RISC-V is unstoppable, and it is expected that by 2025, the number of RISC-V cores will increase to 80 billion.
