CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ventana Micro Systems Inc., a leader in high-performance RISC-V processors, announces a strategic partnership to make its RISC-V CPU cores and chiplets available through Intel Foundry Services (�IFS�) to leading customers in the Data Center, 5G/Edge, Networking, Storage, AI/ML, Automotive and Client market verticals.

Ventana Micro Systems Inc. is the high-performance RISC-V leader offering Data Center class CPUs with extensible instruction set capability delivered in the form of multi-core chiplets or core IP. Ventana�s CPU cores are designed to deliver best-in-class single thread performance optimized for Cloud, Enterprise Data Center, 5G, Edge Compute, AI/ML, Automotive, and Client applications. Ventana�s unique microarchitectural innovations make its design highly portable across fabs and process nodes. Ventana�s modular, scalable chiplet-based product strategy enables rapid productization with significant reduction in development time and cost compared to the prevailing IP models.

As part of this partnership, Ventana�s high-performance cores will be made available on IFS� leading manufacturing process to enable integration into customer SoCs. IFS customers will have access to the highest performance RISC-V cores on the market. Additionally, Ventana plans to offer a scalable, highly customizable compute platform that combines its high-performance multi-core chiplets with an IO Hub manufactured by IFS. The platform enables Hyperscalers and large OEMs to customize and differentiate their products while significantly reducing development time and cost.

�Ventana is leading the market in bringing RISC-V cores and chiplets to high-performance applications in the Cloud, Enterprise Data Center, 5G, Edge Compute, AI/ML, Automotive and Client markets,� said Balaji Baktha, Founder and CEO of Ventana. �This exciting partnership with Intel Foundry Services will allow us to jointly address leading customer requirements by combining best-in-class RISC-V compute with IFS� proven connectivity IP, leading edge process, advanced packaging, and reliable supply chain.�

�We are excited to partner with Ventana to give our customers access to the highest-performance RISC-V cores. RISC-V offers a level of scalability and customization that is unique in the industry. We are seeing strong demand from our customers to support high-performance RISC-V solutions,� said Bob Brennan, VP Customer Solutions Engineering at Intel Foundry Services. �Ventana has the most complete and well developed Open Chiplet-based platform which is well-aligned to Intel�s vision. Ventana�s Chiplets enable IFS to deliver modular solutions that increase performance, reduce power, reduce development cost and accelerate time to market.�

�Chiplets are where the semiconductor industry is headed as they provide high performance, unlimited flexibility and time to market advantages. I believe these advantages, when combined with Ventana�s high-performance and datacenter-grade CPU cores, provide compelling value to cloud, edge, and automotive customers,� said Patrick Moorhead, Founder and Chief Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy.
