Semiconductor veterans secure $3.7M seed funding to launch a universal RISC-V processor that eliminates the need for specialized chips, enabling advanced AI at no additional cost in embedded systems by reimagining IBM’s 1967 processing approach
Düsseldorf, Germany – November 21, 2024: For over half a century, general-purpose processors have been built on the Tomasulo algorithm, developed by IBM engineer Robert Tomasulo in 1967. It’s a $500B industry built on specialised CPU, GPU and other chips for different computing tasks. Hardware startup Ubitium has shattered this paradigm with a breakthrough universal processor that handles all computing workloads on a single, efficient chip – unlocking simpler, smarter, and more cost-effective devices across industries – while revolutionizing a 57-year-old industry standard.
