Expansion or EOL
"A familiar friend is making a mark on the RISC-V landscape in a new and impactful way. Synopsys has expanded its ARC® processor IP portfolio with a new RISC-V-compatible family. While the next-generation Synopsys ARC-V™ processors mark our first foray into processor IP based on the open-standard RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), we’ve long played a key role in delivering configurable and extensible processor IP to SoC designers.
Our existing ARC processors will continue to be in the mix as we roll out the new ARC-V ISA for future generations of our cores. The first of our ARC-V embedded cores, co-optimized with Synopsys.ai™ full-stack AI-driven EDA suite and our leading verification solutions, will be available during the second quarter of 2024. These processors are ideally suited for a variety of power-critical applications in automotive, storage, and artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) designs. Chip designers will gain a broader range of flexible, extensible processors from a provider with a decades-long track record for delivering and supporting PPA-efficient implementations and optimized software development tools and libraries.
Synopsys has been a familiar presence in the RISC-V ecosystem for some time now as a member of RISC-V International, the global nonprofit that manages the standard. We recently joined the organization’s board of directors and its technical steering committee. Read on for more details about our new ARC-V processors, and how we can help chip designers optimize and differentiate their RISC-V processor-based SoCs for a wide range of applications."
