Tenstorrent Productizes RISC-V CPU And AI IP
By Sally Ward-Foxton, EETimes | September 25, 2025
AI chip startup Tenstorrent has begun productizing its RISC-V CPU and AI cores as licensable IP. Tenstorrent already has IP licensees, including LG and Hyundai, with most of the company’s $200 million in bookings coming from existing IP deals, Aniket Saha, vice president of product strategy at Tenstorrent, told EE Times.
“We are the only company I know of that uses its own IP product in its own chips,” Saha said.
Contrary to the widely held industry belief that offering both silicon and its IP would create a conflict, this hasn’t been a problem for customers so far, in part because they are either customizing the IP or addressing different markets (specifically, automotive), Saha said.
“I’ve been pleasantly surprised that customers actually want the IP we are using in our own products because we are betting our company on the IP,” he said. “That has been an accelerant for the IP we are building.”
