Development status of processor instruction set in the world
At present, the global instruction set presents a duopoly pattern. X86 architecture monopolizes the field of high-performance computing represented by computers and servers, and arm monopolizes the field of low-power and mobile computing represented by embedded and mobile phones. Risc-v has the characteristics of modularity and scalability. It has the potential to cover all computing fields from low-power embedded devices to mobile computing and even supercomputing.
Layout of major international companies in risc-v
At present, the two most famous risc-v companies in the world are sifive company founded by the inventor of risc-v in the United States and Jingxin technology in Taiwan, which has the largest shipment in the world. In addition, Samsung, Intel, Western Digital, Google and other technology giants have also launched risc-v products.
Layout of major mainland companies in risc-v
The most important risc-v companies in China include pingtouge semiconductor, xinlai technology, saifang technology, etc. In addition, Allwinnertech Technology Co.Ltd(300458) , Jingchen semiconductor, Gigadevice Semiconductor (Beijing) Inc(603986) , Zhongyi Xinsheng, zhongkehao core and other companies have also launched products such as socmcu and DSP chips based on RISC.
Risc-v is of great significance to the security of chip industry
The safety of chip industry chain in Chinese mainland is constantly threatened by the United States. RISC-V uses open source and free business mode. Besides, RISC-V foundation has moved to the United States from Switzerland, and Mainland China is also the most popular member of RISC-V foundation. RISC-V architecture is of great significance for Chinese mainland’s chip industry’s independent control.
Risk tips
Risk 1. The market scale of risc-v is still small, and the commercialization progress is not as expected; 2. Risc-v is currently concentrated in the field of low power consumption, and its breakthrough in the field of high performance is less than expected.
