![]() What strikes me, though, about Esperanto is how they have achieved this with so little funding. You could argue that the Esperanto chip is just another design in a long series that have tried to cram lots of simple CPU cores onto a single die. I’m more than a bit sceptical about whether these new accelerators will become mainstream (outside of Google’s TPU). › Esperanto’s low-voltage technology provides differentiated RISC-V processors with the best performance per watt. ![]() › It has the highest number of TOPS on a chip driven by RISC-V cores. › It has the most RISC-V aggregate instructions per second on a single chip. › It has the most 64-bit RISC-V cores on a single chip. The Esperanto ET-SoC-1 is the highest performance commercial RISC-V chip announced so far. It would be great to do a sequel! Esperanto Comments can only be accessed by paying subscribers but everyone can just reply to this email if you’d like to share a less well known project. Do please share if you have your own favourite project that is innovating around RISC-V. Let’s start with the more ambitious and serious, and then move on to the more fun projects. ![]() It’s certain, though, that in each case that the existence of RISC-V saved the designers effort and it’s use has made the project more accessible to others. ![]() One could argue, in some cases, that if RISC-V didn't exist then maybe they would have developed their own ISA. What they all have in common is that designers will all have had a copy of the RISC-V ISA specification open on their desktop for extended periods. From projects that aim to be at the cutting edge of AI to those with a ‘retro’ flavour. They range from startups with tens of millions of dollars of funding, to hobby projects to build ‘virtual cores’ that run in online games. They are a mix of the highly commercial and the extremely fun. So I thought it would be interesting to have a look at a few RISC-V projects that could claim to be innovating around the RISC-V architecture. Rather, it's about innovation around the processor design itself, or about enabling projects that would otherwise have been more difficult or expensive. RISC-V is in many senses an ‘old-school’ RISC ISA with some refinements, so it may not drive future innovations in CPU design. This isn’t necessarily around processor design.
