RISC-V Pioneer SiFive Takes Stock, Realigns, Moves Forward
Robert Huntley, EETimes Europe (November 7, 2023)
After SiFive announced it would downsize its staff, EE Times Europe caught up with Dave Miller, head of corporate communications at SiFive, to understand the reasons for the layoffs, the impact on the RISC-V ecosystem, the resonance in Europe and what’s next.
The recent news that RISC-V processor architecture pioneer SiFive was shedding up to 20% of its engineering workforce sent shockwaves around the semiconductor industry. Although some surmised several months ago that the company was encountering difficulties, most industry pundits were unprepared for the news. Apart from a blog post made the day after, there has been no formal announcement from the company regarding the actual number of layoffs involved or its strategy moving forward. EE Times Europe caught up with Dave Miller, head of corporate communications at SiFive, to learn more.
