Intel announced About creating a new fund, through which it is planned to invest a billion dollars in the company and startups engaged in the creation of technologies related to the development of new commands for a set of commands, open software tools for the development and innovative methods of 3D-layouts of chips. At the same time Announced About Intel joining to a non-commercial organization risc-v international , churring the development of the open architecture of the RISC-V command set.
Intel entered the main participants (Premier Member) RISC-V International, whose representatives receive a place in the Board of Directors and Technical Committee. From other companies with Premier status in RISC-V International, you can mark Sifive, Western Digital, Google, Huawei, Zte, Starfive, Andes, Ventana Micro and Alibaba Cloud. In addition to participation in the RISC-V International, Intel also announced the establishment of partnerships and teamwork with companies SIFIVE , Andes Technology , Esperanto Technologies and Ventana Micro Systems engaged in production and Designing chips based on RISC-V architecture.
In addition to financing work on third-party chips, Intel plans to create and own RISC-V kernels that can be used as blocks for the construction of chiplet. Technology of chippets are aimed at separating complex semiconductor blocks and the delivery of such blocks in the form of individual modules component using the “System in Housing” paradigm (SOP, System-On-Package) instead of a “SOC, System-On-Chip” system (SOC, System-ON-CHIP) . Open Chiplet Platform (Open Chiplet Platform) are planned to develop in accordance with the open development model.
