Keynote: RISC-V Challenges & Opportunities

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Says RISC‑V already runs in 10 billion devices and projects to 80 billion soon, but high‑end system features for data‑center processors remain under development and public development boards are scarce. Toolchain gaps include compilers, MLIR, profilers and debuggers needing better integration for fast porting and optimization. ISA fragmentation and OS support for multiple hardware profiles create coordination work. Notes investment exits like a sale to Amazon and Nuvia to Qualcomm and cites 85 investments with 19 IPOs and 26 trade sales as proof of commercial momentum.
