Was a quiet day so, ICYMI a brief summary of 2022 for Sifive to lead into the weekend. I do like the 100 customers bit.
SiFive Delivers Record Growth in 2022 with Fast-Growing Roster of New Customers and Products
Highlights leadership in RISC-V and proven performance and power density benefits
San Jose, Calif., Dec. 13, 2022 – At the RISC-V Summit today, SiFive, Inc., the founder and leader of RISC-V computing, celebrated its impressive year of growth and technical achievements. In 2022 SiFive announced collaborations with some of the world’s largest chip companies and hyperscale datacenters, as the company has been laser-focused on expanding growth. Today SiFive has design wins with more than 100 customers, including 8 of the top 10 semiconductor companies, in applications including automotive, AR/VR, client computing, datacenter, and the intelligent edge. This year the company rolled out new products for a range of fast-growing and high-volume markets, including a comprehensive automotive portfolio, and expanded its presence globally. This momentum was recognized last week when SiFive was awarded the prestigious 2022 Most Respected Private Semiconductor Company Award by the Global Semiconductor Alliance GSA.
“This was a standout year for SiFive, as we collaborated with some of the biggest companies on the planet to tackle their unmet needs, shifted our portfolio and revenues from embedded to high performance RISC-V products that are shaking up the industry, and expanded our global footprint,” said Patrick Little, CEO and Chairman at SiFive. “With the fast-paced growth of SiFive and rapidly increasing demand for our products, and the overall growth of the RISC-V ecosystem, as we’ve said before, the future of RISC-V ‘has no limits’ as we take the company to new heights.”
SiFive has made incredible technical progress over the last year, rolling out several products with unparalleled compute performance and efficiency. The new SiFive Performance™ P670 and P470 RISC-V processors raise the bar for innovative designs in high volume applications like wearables, smart home, industrial automation, AR/VR, and other consumer devices. The company introduced its SiFive Automotive™ E6-A, X280-A, and S7-A solutions to address critical needs for current and future applications like infotainment, cockpit, connectivity, ADAS, and electrification. Plus, SiFive enhanced its popular SiFive Intelligence™ X280 processor IP to meet the accelerated demand for vector processing, especially for AI and ML applications.
The company has continued to deepen its collaborations and partnerships as it works to transform the future of compute and define what comes next. Through partnership with Microchip, SiFive is a part of NASA’s next generation High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) processor, which delivers a 100x increase in computational capability to help propel next-generation planetary and surface missions. Additionally, the X280 processor with the new SiFive Vector Coprocessor Interface Extension (VCIX) is being used as the AI Compute Host to provide flexible programming in a leading datacenter. SiFive also announced its work with companies including BrainChip, Kinara (Deep Vision), Synopsys, and ProvenRun, as well as a broad set of OS, Software Tools, and EDA ecosystem processors for the SiFive Automotive Family of processors
Another big milestone for SiFive is the company’s partnership with Intel to spark innovation in high-performance RISC-V platforms. SiFive is supporting Intel Foundry Services (IFS) Innovation Fund’s goal to build innovative new multi-ISA computing platforms including RISC-V platforms optimized for Intel process technology. The IFS Innovation fund will support the creation of disruptive technologies to address modern computing challenges, with the Intel-SiFive collaboration aiming to extend the RISC-V ecosystem. At the show, the companies unveiled more details about the HiFive Pro P550 Development System (code named Horse Creek); this high-performance development system will enable the RISC-V ecosystem to productively create software when it is commercially available later in 2023.
Absolutely a gem. This woman is a great asset and validation to what's taking shape. The pieces of the puzzle coming together. boomidy boom boom.
Agreed @TopCat, I like the 100 customers part too! I'm pretty excited about what 2023 holds in store for the BrainChip and SiFive partnership and particularly excited to see what this might entail.

EV self-driving computers may increase climate emissions (image: Tesla)
...In an example where a self-driving EV system comprises of ten cameras with neural network processing images from each, the car equipped with it would be making more than 21 million interferences per hour of driving. A billion such vehicles, or about two thirds of the current global fleet of cars, would create 21.6 quadrillion inferences in just an hour, or many times more than the whole of Facebook for a day with its data centers.
Let's just for now stick to our 46,000 s/holders and soak up the s/price it brings well under the ASX radar for now .......... who know's what will happen when we have over one million s/holders on the register and there won't be enough shares to go round to fill their and future requirements.25 of those years overlapped, if that makes sense, so let's reduce the 90 back down to 64 but thinking I'm still 30 when I see a very
good looking lady.
Yes, but keep selling the story, we have a fantastic company and the more Australians who get to know about us and our brilliant
technology the better, as far as I'm personally concerned, we will always be Australian, thanks to Peter choosing our country to
develop and create his dream.
um ... but ... if the vehicles are powered by renewables?BrainChip to the rescue methinks...
Self-driving EV computers like Tesla HW4 could generate climate change emissions to rival all data centers
EV self-driving computers may increase climate emissions (image: Tesla)
The green EV credentials are under threat from a new MIT study that calculates future greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles with computers dedicated to autonomous driving tasks. Self-driving kits like Tesla's upcoming Hardware 4 upgrade could produce climate change emissions equal to or surpassing those of all current data centers combined if their power draw is not kept in check.
Daniel Zlatev, Published 01/20/2023
While Tesla is preparing to release the Hardware 4.0 computer upgrade for its next Full Self-Driving Beta kit generation, MIT researchers are warning that cars equipped with autonomous driving chips may generate greenhouse gas emissions on par with the world's data centers. If 95% of the electric cars on the road by 2050 have some sort of autonomous driving capabilities with the respective chip and sensor paraphernalia, for instance, computational efficiency would need to double almost every year so as to keep the fleet's climate change emissions under the level of current data centers.
According to one of the study's authors Soumya Sudhakar, an MIT graduate student in aeronautics and astronautics:
In an example where a self-driving EV system comprises of ten cameras with neural network processing images from each, the car equipped with it would be making more than 21 million interferences per hour of driving. A billion such vehicles, or about two thirds of the current global fleet of cars, would create 21.6 quadrillion inferences in just an hour, or many times more than the whole of Facebook for a day with its data centers.
"We are hoping that people will think of emissions and carbon efficiency as important metrics to consider in their designs. The energy consumption of an autonomous vehicle is really critical, not just for extending the battery life, but also for sustainability," added Vivienne Sze, an associate professor at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
The study of future autonomous driving system greenhouse gas emissions calculates that their computers would have to keep the power draw at not more than 1.2 kW in order to have some acceptable level of emissions throughout the life cycle of the car.
The solution that the MIT study's authors point out to, is making autonomous driving computers like Tesla's upcoming Hardware 4.0 even more specialized and the self-driving algorithms more efficient in terms of power consumption, without compromising vehicle safety.

Maybe find this post from May last year worth a read...has an article explaining
At the time I wrote we had one partnership in the consortium...well, now we have two.
"If we think of our primary start point or playground as the Edge then what of the "beyond the Edge" back the other way to the cloud....being the Fog.
The area between the Edge and the Cloud.
Obviously partnered with at least one member of the the OpenFog Consortium...in red below."
BRN Discussion Ongoing
In July I intend asking that question directly, to both. $5.00 was said with a smile last year. 2025 maybe a fair and reasonable time to rack the cue, but I need to hear that personally, before I accept it as gospel. Love Brainchip, the staff, the technology, the passion, the shareholder...
Is fog computing more than just another branding for edge computing?
Cisco coined fog computing to describe extending cloud computing to the enterprise's edge. It's a decentralized computing platform in which
