Um das Henne-und-Ei-Problem bei RISC-V für Rechenzentren zu lösen, stellt SiFive Entwicklerserver mit 32 RVA23-Kernen, 256 GByte RAM und PCIe 5.0 bereit.

Silicon Valley startup SiFive said on Thursday it has raised a $400 million round of funding from Atreides Management, Nvidia and others to ​enter the booming market for data-center central processor chips.

Recently I published some initial SpacemiT K3 benchmarks for that first-to-market RISC-V RVA23 SoC with the K3 Pico-ITX mini computer. In there was a comparison against modern Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen desktop CPUs along with the likes of the Raspberry Pi 5, Loongson 3B6000, and SiFive HiFive Premier. For those curious about the longer-term RISC-V performance, here is a look at how far the RISC-V hardware performance has come compared to the SiFive HiFive Unmatched RISC-V board from five years ago.

RISC-V processor IP purveyor SiFive just announced they have raised $400 million USD in an over-subscribed Series G financing round. This latest funding is so they can further focus on delivering high performance RISC-V designs for the data center...

Upstreamed for the current Linux 6.18 cycle was finally having mainline support for the ESWIN EIC770 SoC with its four SiFive P550 cores plus having the DeviceTree support for the SiFive HiFive Premier P550 RISC-V development board using that SoC. Sadly not making it though for Linux 6.18 was the Ethernet controller support for the EIC7700 SoC but that is now destined to arrive in Linux 6.19...

SiFive, which makes blueprints for parts of complex chips, said on Thursday it will become the first maker of RISC-V chip designs to integrate Nvidia technology that creates speedy links between chips.

Queued within the development tree for the RISC-V processor code for the Linux kernel is supporting several new vendor-specific ISA extensions for SiFive RISC-V CPU cores...

SiFive recently sent over a review sample of the much anticipated HiFive Premier P550 developer board, their newest RISC-V creation featuring four RISC-V cores, Imagination AXM-8-256 integrated GPU, G...

Ditching Intel for a system-on-chip out of Beijing

Canonical partners with SiFive and ESWIN Computing to enable Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on the HiFive Premier P550 RISC-V development board.

SiFive recently sent over their new HiFive Premier P550 developer board and as part of that fresh RISC-V CPU testing I've also been re-testing the prior SiFive HiFive Unmatched developer board from 2020~2021 for reference. Out of curiosity, I've carried out some tests using the HiFive Unmatched to look at how the Ubuntu Linus RISC-V performance has evolved from Ubuntu 21.04 when I first tested that RISC-V quad-core developer board, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and now the latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS packages.

California-based SiFive has set up a subsidiary in Shanghai to help customers ‘achieve technological breakthroughs’.

You might call it a RISC-V/NVLink Fusion ... or a bad day for UALink RISC-V champion SiFive has joined a growing number of chip companies by throwing its weight behind Nvidia's proprietary NVLink Fusion interconnect tech, a move that casts doubt on the viability of rival interconnect tech UALink.…

The deal is interesting for a number of reasons, including that SiFive's chip designs are based on RISC-V, not x86 or ARM.
