"SiFive's RISC-V open chip design is based on the RISC processor, not Intel's x86 or ARM, the two major types of CPUs that currently feed Nvidia's GPU computer system AI empire."
"SiFive stands in rarified air with chip designs that are open, not proprietary, as well as neutral, not reliant on specific customers."
"With this cash and Nvidia's attention, SiFive is moving into CPUs for AI data centers. SiFive's designs will work with Nvidia's CUDA software and its NVLink Fusion."
SiFive, founded in 2015, has secured a $400 million funding round, bringing its valuation to $3.65 billion. The company specializes in RISC-V open chip designs, differentiating itself from Intel's x86 and ARM architectures. Nvidia participated in this funding round, which was led by Atreides Management. SiFive's business model involves licensing chip designs rather than selling chips directly. With new funding, SiFive aims to expand into CPUs for AI data centers, integrating with Nvidia's software and systems.
