August 26, 2022, Hangzhou, China — SpacemiT, a semiconductor innovation company focusing on RISC-V architecture chips, announced today that it has officially become a Strategic Member of the open-source instruction set architecture known as RISC-V International.

Since it launched in 2021, SpacemiT has actively engaged with RISC-V International, but today’s announcement marks the company’s official recognition by the industry authority.

RISC-V is an open-source instruction set released by Berkeley University in 2010. Its simple and modular design method supports various forms of instruction extensions, from ultra-low power consumption embedded processors to high-performance handheld and desktop processors.

Established in 2015, RISC-V International has not only made great progress in formulating technical standards and software ecology, it has also scaled applications in the IoT space. RISC-V has begun to expand into a variety of application fields including PCs, mobile phones, intelligent robots and extended reality (XR).

SpacemiT is committed to providing high-performance RISC-V computing chips and computing systems that will continuously improving the performance of the RISC-V system and expand application scenarios. The company will apply the RISC-V architecture to Session Border Controllers (SBCs), developer computers, intelligent robots and other broader application scenarios.  

According to Dr. Zhijian Chen, founder and CEO of SpacemiT, “By bringing RISC-V chips and computing systems within easy reach, we will help empower global developers to create new applications and new categories based on RISC-V chips. In this way, the RISC-V architecture will become the leading computing architecture for the next 50 years.”
