SiFive execs share ideas on their RISC-V strategy
October 6, 2016
Since its formation just last year, SiFive has been riding the RISC-V rocket from purely academic interest to first commercialization. In an exclusive discussion, I talked with CEO Stefan Dyckerhoff and VP of Product and Business Development Jack Kang about their progress so far and what may be coming next.
Previously, I covered the introduction of the SiFive Freedom E300 and U500 platforms of RISC-V IP cores. From the comments we got, I’m not sure people understood what the SiFive business model is, or what their ecosystem looks like. As Dyckerhoff put it, SiFive is at the tail end of its design process with its initial offering commercial cores – but there is a lot more to the strategy.
