RISC-V Market Leadership Helped Andes Technology Drive Cumulative Shipments of AndesCore-Powered™ SoCs Beyond the 20 Billion Mark

Hsinchu, Taiwan – June 24, 2026 – Andes Technology Corporation (TWSE: 6533), a leading provider of high-efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores and a Founding Premier Member of RISC-V International, today announced a historic commercial milestone: global cumulative shipments of customer SoCs powered by Andes CPU IP have recently officially surpassed 20 billion units.

Achieving the 20 billion milestone in the second quarter of 2026 marks an extraordinary acceleration in growth, surging from the 14 billion units reported in late 2023. This trajectory underscores a powerful mainstream momentum within the semiconductor industry, demonstrating that Andes’ high-performance, flexible processor solutions have firmly established themselves as the engine of choice for global technology leaders.

“Surpassing 20 billion units is a definitive validation of Andes’ commercial scale and execution,” said Frankwell Lin, Chairman and CEO of Andes Technology. “The velocity at which our customers scaled production from 14 billion to over 20 billion units signals that open-standard computing has reached absolute mass market adoption. As a pure-play CPU IP vendor, this footprint reflects the profound trust global tier-1 chip designers place in the robustness, quality, and mass-production readiness of AndesCore™ CPU IP.”

The momentum behind this milestone is deeply anchored in Andes’ structured, long-term alignment with the global Artificial Intelligence explosion, seamlessly balanced by its resilient, multi-year footprint across diversified mass-market applications. This comprehensive market penetration is driven by high-profile production deployments with global technology pioneers. Notably, Andes’ specialized IPs power Meta’s Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) targeting recommendation systems, and d-Matrix’s revolutionary Raptor chiplet-based 3D In-Memory Compute accelerator for scaling datacenter AI inference. Additionally, mass-market adoption spans industry-leading storage solutions such as Phison’s SSDs and Allwinner’s Linux-driven camera SoCs.

“Our roadmap is explicitly engineered to address the market’s most complex, data-heavy challenges,” remarked Dr. Charlie Su, President and CTO of Andes Technology. “Whether it is deploying our high-performance vector processors like the AX46MPV for data centers, accelerating mathematical computation via Andes Automated Custom Extensions™ (ACE), or fulfilling strict safety compliance requirements for advanced automotive systems, the 20 billion milestone proves that our processor design, IP implementation and software support deliver the bulletproof reliability required for massive, world-class silicon rollouts. Our RISC-V market leadership helped us to achieve such success.”

Looking ahead, this historic delivery foundation cements Andes’ position as a cornerstone for next-generation computing. Backed by a proven track record of processor technology, product roadmap, and commercial mass production, Andes is uniquely positioned to accelerate the next waves of global innovation in spatial computing, AI agents, edge devices, and advanced automotive electronics.
