The RISC-V Revolution is Sweeping Across the APAC Region and Australia

As we make our way around the world meeting and engaging with others in the semiconductor and hardware design community, we are seeing an increased interest in RISC-V based hardware innovation. This is due in large part to the emergence of market-ready RISC-V core IP, development tools and silicon solutions based on cloud-based design platforms that facilitate the creation of custom SoC solutions for edge computing, AI, IoT, wearable, server and other target vertical markets.

Having just completed an exciting tour through Europe, we're gearing up for our visit to the APAC region and Australia, which will take place throughout the month of June. If you live in the region, or will be visiting, you won't want to miss this. Here is a glimpse of what's in store for attendees.
