Russian Aquarius will launch processors with RISC-V architecture

Russian Aquarius will produce processors RISC-V

In force to date, numerous and quite tough sanctions against Russian producers are forced domestic business quickly to look for alternative solutions in many industries in General and in the field of semiconductors in particular.

So, it was announced that "Aquarius", a well-known player on the Russian market IT is preparing to release a microchip, which will lay open RISC-V. meanwhile, the Russian company relies on grants-in-aid from the Ministry of industry and trade. As reported, last year the "Aquarius" was held negotiations with a number of domestic suppliers of blocks, IP for RISC-V, and also produced a set of developers for these systems. Presumably, organized the production will be in Zelenograd Micron enterprise, which, in turn, recently announced plans to increase the production of semiconductors.

It should be noted that the open processor architecture RISC-V is available for everyone, which increases the interest in an increasing number of companies worldwide. The same China is very interested in RISC-V, since it is under the pressure of sanctions in this area. Yes, RISC-V is now second popular solutions x86 and ARM, but experts believe that in the future the chips at the base RISC-V will be able to compete with x86 and ARM. Analysts believe that the RISC-V with the possibility of free use, makes it the most promising for domestic manufacturers of semiconductor products, as the alleged cooperation with the developers with the technology with other architectures, in fact impossible, while the Network has ready-made solutions for RISC-V.
