Accelerating the RISC-V Revolution: Unleashing Custom Silicon with Revolutionary Design Platforms
summary
SiFive presents concrete results: two RISC-V platforms—Freedom Everywhere (FE310 microcontroller, sold over 1,000 boards) and Freedom Unleashed (FU540 quad U54 + SiFive E51, taped out in TSMC 28 nm, runs ~1.5 GHz)—plus an expansion board with FPGA via PCIe. A third 0.18 µm ASIC integrates analog IP and an E301 core. An ATS inference engine is running as FPGA RTL attached to the HiFive Unleashed board, and SPEC2006-like benchmarks show SiFive silicon near Cortex‑A53 performance.
