GlobalFoundries buys MIPS for edge AI network dominion
The chip maker banks on the promise of RISC-VJuly 09, 2025 By Giacomo "Jack" Lee Comment
FacebookTwitterLinkedInRedditEmailShare
GlobalFoundries announced a definitive agreement to acquire chip design company MIPS, in a move focused around AI-enabled network infrastructure.
In its announcement from Tuesday, the New York-headquartered foundry firm shared that MIPS will continue to operate as a standalone business within the new setup. That business revolves around developing processor architectures, now complementing GlobalFoundries’ (GF) semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
What makes MIPS particularly attractive to GF is its relevance in AI chip design. Recent years have seen the Sunnyvale, California business focus on RISC-V, poaching execs from the likes of AMD and RISC-V rival SiFive to bolster its mission.
Pronounced risk-five, RISC-V is an open standard instruction set (ISA) architecture based on established reduced instruction set computing (RISC) principles. Based on this, the firm’s Atlas portfolio offers compute cores designed for real-time, low-latency processing and, perhaps most pertinently, edge AI processing cores.
With the acquisition, GF is in a strong position to offer custom chip solutions for smart routers, switches, and edge-network devices that incorporate AI and machine learning functions closer to the network’s edge.
With in-house processor IP and fabrication, its custom chips are likely to attract the likes of network equipment vendors such as Cisco, and OEMs like Nokia for SoCs in 5G small cells and base stations.
AI on the edge
The low-latency and high bandwidth efficiency of AI directly embedded in edge devices is driving more interest in the market.As reported by SDxCentral, most initial investment in edge AI is targeted at equipment that enterprises use to support on-prem use cases.
Companies like Verizon have already signed deals with the likes of Nvidia to power enterprise AI services. While ROI remains low and IoT persists as the main edge use case driver, IDC predicts the edge compute market is set for an AI-fueled boost pushing overall segment spend to $380 billion by 2028.
With MIPS on board, GF finds itself in a good position for all this loot. That said, how big of a deal the acquisition is has not been disclosed. The last public record of a MIPS sale was for $60 million, when Tallwood Venture Capital bought the company from Imagination Technologies in 2017.
Since then, the company has changed hands a few times, being bought out by Wave Computing in 2018 for an undisclosed amount.
According to Reuters, Shanghai’s CIP United acquired full licensing rights to MIPS architecture for mainland China and its territories in 2019 for $60 million. Those rights for China will remain in CIP's hands in spite of GF’s global operations of MIPS.
GF’s acquisition of MIPS is expected to close in the second half of 2025.

Yeah but you know….
“We are pushing the boundaries to enable AI on the edge.”
Global Foundries are the makers of the Akida 1500 22nm FD-SoI chips.

It looks like the wisdom of our early engagement with RISC-V company SiFive is beginning to shine through.
Chelpis, Andes, Frontgrade all use RISC-V.
MIPS have a suite of patents relating to a switching fabric array for interconnecting NNs. It's possible that this is used in Akida to select the NPU arrangement for the layers of a NN.
US2020034262A1 PROCESSOR ARRAY REDUNDANCY 20180727
processor synchronization within a reconfigurable computing environment for processor array redundancy. Processing elements are configured within a reconfigurable fabric to implement two or more redundant processors, where the two or more redundant processors are enabled for coincident operation. An agent is loaded on each of the two or more redundant processors, where the agent performs a function requiring data validation. The agent is fired on each of the two or more redundant processors to commence coincident operation. The coincident operation can include a lockstep operation. An output data result from each of the two or more redundant processors is compared to enable a data validation result. The data validation result is propagated. The propagating the data validation result can be based on comparing valid output data or can be based on comparing invalid output data.
So maybe BRN was the marriage broker?

Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Sounds very promising @Diogense!
It says in the article that @Toothemoon posted:
"With the acquisition, GF is in a strong position to offer custom chip solutions for smart routers, switches, and edge-network devices that incorporate AI and machine learning functions closer to the network’s edge."
Talk about being right down our alley! Surely BrainChip would be a great fit as a complementary IP block into MIPS-designed RISC-V SoCs for reducing power and latency in edge ML workloads, enabling local learning, offloading inference, etc.
Prior fab partner for BrainChip - tick
Synergy with RISC-V (i.e. Si-Five, etc. ) - tick
Edge AI focus - tick
GF is pushing into custom SoC development with vertical stacks - tick
If BrainChip wanted to tape out Akida 2 or Akida 3 in silicon, GF would be a natural foundry candidate.

I was referring Dodgyknees references to Cybersecurity.Bigger business with work from home staff, staff on the road or travelling and sub office staff all carry devices including lap tops, phones, printers, etc that access the mainframe network. These devices provide openings for hackers.
Government departments have a lot of work from home staff which increase the vulnerability for cyberattack. We have seen plenty of cyberattacks in Australia where private data has been stolen.
Not sure what the C and a couple of Y's is

The Missing Piece of Smart Things Manufacturing
Remember our vision of 3D printing smart shipping boxes and supply chain sensors at any corner store earlier this week? One underlying technology that can make it possible are new chips that think like the human brain.
Neuromorphic edge chips are now so small and efficient they can be embedded anywhere. We're talking tiny 1-milliwatt processors that work like our brains do—100x faster processing and 500x lower energy consumption.
Companies like BrainChip and SynSense are developing these today. While not ready for any old box yet, they're rapidly approaching the point where intelligence becomes as standard as plastic in manufacturing.
What becomes possible when 1-milliwatt intelligence gets embedded anywhere?
Smart packaging on pallets that knows when something's wrong
Product-level monitoring with chips smart enough to detect issues
Equipment sensors that understand their environment and alert you instantly Connected intelligence in boxes, products, even intelligent documentsHere's the breakthrough:
These chips literally work like our brains do—they only activate when something happens. Smart enough to understand when something's wrong, connected enough to let you know instantly.
Brain-inspired processing that mimics human neurons
1-milliwatt power - operates for months on minimal energy
Microscopic size - getting small enough for embedding anywhere
Incredible economics - intelligence approaching the cost of a stickerImagine designing things by specifying not just shape and material, but exactly where to place micro-intelligence during printing. Every object emerges already smart, already connected.
What becomes possible when intelligence is built into the manufacturing process?
The answer is reshaping entire industries—and we're just getting started.
