Andes Technology Corp. Announces Its Contribution To The Intel Pathfinder For RISC-V

AndesCore™ AX45MP 64-bit Multicore Processor and NX27V 64-bit Vector Processor, Both with AXI-based AE350 Platform, Are Available in Intel® FPGA Based Pre-silicon Development Tools.

SAN JOSE, CA – August 30, 2022 – Andes Technology Corporation (TWSE: 6533; SIN: US03420C2089; ISIN: US03420C1099), a leading supplier of high efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores and a Founding Premier member of RISC-V International, reveals its contribution to the Intel® Pathfinder for RISC-V* for pre-silicon development initiative today. Andes announced its highly sought 64-bit superscalar multicore AX45MP processor IP and 64-bit vector processor core NX27V with up to 512-bit vector length, both pre-integrated with AXI-based AE350 platform, have been made available in the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit.

“Those two popular RISC-V CPU cores on Andes IP offerings address the requirements of many high-end applications,” said Frankwell Lin CEO of Andes Technology Corp. “Examples are datacenter AI accelerators, storage for enterprise, 5G networks, and AR/VR. By having those two cores available in the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit, SoC design teams can boot Linux OS or upload their critical compute kernels to the FPGA board to quickly explore the benefits of AX45MP and NX27V before first silicon. We are extremely proud of Andes’ contribution to the Intel Incubation & Disruptive Innovation (IDI) Group's initiative to streamline development flow to leverage Intel Foundry Services state-of-the-art fabs.”

“With Andes Technology Corp. enabling their IP for Intel Pathfinder, SoC designers can easily run interesting software code before finalizing their RISC-V designs,” said Vijay Krishnan, GM, RISC-V Ventures, Intel Corporation. “Intel is committed to accelerating the adoption of RISC-V through a unified, open and standards-based approach.”
