RISC-V processor IP purveyor SiFive just announced they have raised $400 million USD in an over-subscribed Series G financing round. This latest funding is so they can further focus on delivering high performance RISC-V designs for the data center.
SiFive is “doubling down” on the data center and is using the $400M in additional funding to accelerate their development of next-gen data center solutions. They are working on new high performance RISC-V CPU core designs as well as accelerator and system IP. They will also be working on further software development in the areas of CUDA, Red Hat, and Ubuntu environments.
With this Series G financing round, NVIDIA invested as did Apollo Global Management and others. It will be interesting to see what comes of SiFive’s latest investments into high performance RISC-V.
Those curious about this latest round of funding for SiFive can do so via today’s press release.
