Intel veterans launch AheadComputing to design next-gen CPU - oregonlive.com

LinkAheadComputing 尋求以 RISC-V 開放架構挑戰晶片設計現狀
https://www.oregonlive.com

📌 Summary:
本文介紹由多位資深 Intel 晶片架構師創立的 Beaverton 新創公司 AheadComputing,該公司致力打造新一代基於開放架構 RISC-V 的中央處理器(CPU)。創辦團隊成員在 Intel 服務累積近百年經驗,但認為要推動技術革新必須跳脫傳統大廠束縛,因而選擇創業並快速行動。AheadComputing 利用 RISC-V 無需支付授權費的優勢,希望打造更完整且高效的處理器,並預期其產品未來可應用於筆電、伺服器及資料中心,潛在客戶涵蓋 Google、Amazon 等大型企業。文章進一步探討半導體產業正快速分裂與重組,Intel 長期面臨產線瓶頸,企業規模龐大反而拖慢創新,對比創業團隊靈活快速的研發模式,展現新勢力崛起的契機。AheadComputing 成功吸引 2,200 萬美元風投,並延攬晶片業界傳奇 Jim Keller 入董事會,顯示外界對其前景樂觀。儘管技術風險高,但此舉或能促進 Oregon 地區半導體生態系統轉型,成為 Intel 傳統製造業之外新的成長動能。

🎯 Key Points:
★ 創業背景與核心成員:
→ 由四位 Intel 前頂尖晶片架構師創立,累積近百年半導體設計經驗。
→ 公司成立約一年,員工人數約 80 人,辦公室設在 Beaverton,準備擴張中。
→ CEO Debbie Marr 強調需要快速行動且另闢新路,選擇 RISC-V 採用開放架構挑戰傳統 x86 市場。

★ RISC-V 開放架構優勢與市場趨勢:
→ RISC-V 無需付授權費,開放標準吸引新創公司,可針對性設計專用晶片。
→ 新興市場需求多元,芯片逐漸拆解成「chiplets」模組,各家專注特定任務。
→ 與其他巨頭(Apple、Google)自行設計晶片趨勢呼應,推動晶片生態多樣化。

★ 產業變革與半導體生態系統影響:
→ Intel 受限於製造技術瓶頸及失誤,正逐漸失去市場領導地位,2023 年裁員逾 3,000 人。
→ 新創企業採用無廠設計(fabless)模式,委外晶圓代工廠如臺積電(TSMC)生產,降低建廠成本。
→ Oregon 地區半導體產業面臨轉型,新創公司成為重要支柱,如 AheadComputing、Ampere Computing 等正崛起。

★ 研發創新與未來展望:
→ AheadComputing 致力開發高性能 CPU,目標應用涵蓋筆電、伺服器及資料中心。
→ 可望吸引大型科技公司成為客戶,創造多元晶片生態。
→ 晶片架構大師 Jim Keller 加入董事會,強化公司技術實力與業界影響力。
→ 專家分析此策略風險高但潛在回報豐厚,反映半導體產業未來發展充滿不確定性與機會。

A couple of days ago a new release 6.14 of KDE Frameworks came out and part of it is the syntax highlighting engine, used not only by KDE applications like Kate and KDevelop; but also by some others like Qt Creator.

I'm happy to report that this version also brings support for RISC-V instructions/registers/… in GNU Assembler, that I contributed:

Yay, finally all the pieces have come together and I have finally been able to compile Qt 6.9 and @kde Plasma development version (what is to be released as 6.4 in June) for my @bananapi BPI-F3, a RISC-V single-board (mini) computer. Plasma does start and run, but looks like QML/QtQuick applications (which includes the desktop itself) have rendering problems 😞 Qt Widget apps render/run just fine. Now to figure out where the problem is…

Im always keeping an eye on the #demoscene there is not a single more amazing cooking pot of code/tech wizards out there. But the demo done be LFT this year at #Revision on a #Pico2 #RISCV #RISC_V core, in bare metal RISC-V assembly takes the cake. Just amazing.
