More than 30 years after the introduction of the original RISC architecture, our processors have shipped into billions of consumer and enterprise products.Today, we are again leading a RISC revolution as we build on our deep roots to accelerate the RISC-V architecture for high-performance applications. We are focused on delivering our first RISC-V products: the eVocore processors, which provide a new level of scalability for high-performance heterogeneous computing. Because of our RISC heritage, deep engineering expertise, and proven technologies, we can accelerate development and deployment of RISC-V based solutions.
