C910 utilizes a 12-stage superscalar pipeline, is compatible with RISC-V architecture, and is enhanced for arithmetic operations, memory access and multi-core synchronization. It also has a standard memory management unit and can run operation systems such as Linux. Utilizing a 3-issue and 8-execution out-of-order execution architecture, it can be equipped with a single/double-precision floating point engine. It can be further equipped with a vector computing engine for AI acceleration, making it suitable for application fields requiring high-performance, such as 5G and artificial intelligence.
