US RISC-V AI chip designer Inspire Semiconductor Holdings is to de-list from the TSXV Venture Exchange in Toronto today, following a move to go private.
Inspire, based in Austin, Texas, is developing a 12nm AI chip with 1,536 64-bit custom RISC-V CPU cores on a single chip, tightly integrated with high-speed memory and low-latency networking. The Thunderbird RISC-V chip performs at up to 24 TFLOPS, with an energy efficiency of 75 GFLOPS/watt, resulting in a 30-60% reduction in energy consumption.
