As semiconductor applications continue to diversify, the traditional one-size-fits-all processor model is becoming increasingly outdated. Today’s designs demand greater specialization to meet the unique performance, power, and cost requirements of specific workloads. RISC-V, with its open-standard architecture and flexible customization model, has emerged as the ideal platform to address this shift.
