San Jose, CA – July 7, 2025 – Andes Technology (TWSE: 6533SIN: US03420C2089ISIN: US03420C1099), the leading supplier of high-efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores and founding premier member of RISC-V International, today announced a major milestone in its U.S. expansion through Condor Computing, a wholly owned subsidiary based in Austin, Texas.

Condor Computing was established by Andes Technology in March 2023 to architect and develop ultra-high-performance RISC-V CPU IP entirely in the United States. Andes’ U.S. operations—spanning both Andes Technology USA and Condor Computing—now comprise nearly 100 employees, with more than 85% dedicated to R&D.

Condor’s mission is to deliver cutting-edge RISC-V CPU IP with best-in-class performance and unprecedented power efficiency, built on a novel, patented microarchitecture. These next-generation cores are fully integrated into the Andes toolchain and ecosystem, enabling customers to seamlessly incorporate advanced compute into their proprietary Systems-on-Chip (SoCs), while benefiting from Andes’ mature tools, frameworks, and global support.

The Condor team recently achieved a major development milestone: Full hardware emulation of its new CPU IP, successfully booting Linux and other operating systems. First customer availability is expected Q4 2025.

“Condor’s microarchitecture combines advanced out-of-order execution with novel hardware techniques to dramatically boost performance-per-watt and silicon efficiency,” said Dr. Charlie Su, President and CTO of Andes Technology. “It’s ideally suited for demanding CPU workloads in AI, automotive compute, applications processing, and beyond.”
