For over 50 years, the semiconductor industry has relied on the Tomasulo algorithm, introduced by IBM in 1967, to build specialized CPUs, GPUs, and other chips tailored to specific computing tasks.
Now, Ubitium, a hardware startup founded by semiconductor veterans, has developed a universal RISC-V processor that consolidates all computing workloads onto a single, affordable chip.
This technology is particularly significant for embedded systems and robotics, where the cost of hardware often limits the deployment of advanced computing solutions.
