Semiconductors Startup SiFive Secures $5.1 Million

SiFive announced the completion of $5.1 million in financing from an undisclosed investor.

SiFive Coreplex IP is the most widely deployed RISC-V (RISC-V is an open instruction set architecture based on established reduced instruction set computing principles) core in the world and is the lowest risk, easiest path to RISC-V. SiFive Coreplex IP offers fully synthesizable and verified soft IP implementations that scale across multiple design nodes, making them ideal for any SoC (system-on-a-chip) design. SiFive was founded by the creators of the free and open RISC-V architecture as a reaction to the end of conventional transistor scaling and escalating chip design costs.
