- AwartComputing collected $ 21.5 million to develop a 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor
- Directed by former engineers of Intellicus, he sees risc-v disturb X86 and the domination of the arms
- The company provides rapid growth, focusing on licenses, AI, Cloud and Mobile
A startup created in 2024 by former Intel engineers bet on RISC-V becoming the dominant IT architecture of the future.
Portland, Oregon, AlikedComputing, based in Oregon, collected $ 21.5 million in start -up financing led by Eclipse, with the participation of Jim Keller. The veterans flea designer is the brain behind the Zen architecture of AMD and the original self-commissioner chip of Tesla, and is currently CEO of Trenstorrent, one of our 10 most popular AI equipment companies to follow in 2025.
Àtercumping believes that “everyone deserves a better computer” and that the lag of owner architectures is inevitable. It plans to develop a RISC-V 64-bit microprocessor architecture and to “push the limits of what is possible in computer science”.
Take a sheet in the Arm manual
CEO Debbie Marr, who previously was an Intel scholarship holder and chief architect of the advanced architecture development group, co -founded the company with senior engineers Jonathan Pearce, Srikanth Srinivasan and Mark Decene.
She says: “The current computer ecosystem is in disarray; The industry undergoes a major transformation, fueled by emerging market leaders and disturbing technologies. As a founders of AheadComputing, we consider chaos as an opportunity and believe that our team has unique expertise to help create a new improved ecosystem for the future. »»
While X86 and Arm have dominated computer science for decades, AvireComputing believes that the open architecture of RISC-V, the flexibility and the advantages of costs will ultimately make the favorite choice. This could be a good bet if the rumors that Arm seeks to make his own tokens take place. AlionComputing plans to operate under an IP license model, similar to ARM approach.
While the industry is investing massively in AC accelerators parallel to data, Marr maintains that heart performance remains a neglected but crucial element of computer science. “The opportunity exists today to improve performance by heart, which we consider the cornerstone of the efficiency of the multiproacher system,” she said.
The company went from its four founders to a 40 -year -old team and develops quickly. Seed financing will be used to hire additional engineers and develop a basic IP. The startup is looking for strategic partners to accelerate its push in Cloud Computing, AI and mobile markets.
