RISC-V instruction set architecture has gradually gained a place in IoT (Internet of Things) and embedded systems owing to its advantages of low cost, low power consumption, and high design flexibility. Over the years, several American manufacturers and startups have begun to develop products in the areas of servers and high-efficiency computing. Meanwhile, buoyed by strong government support, Chinese manufacturers have made progress in implementing RISC-V into PC and mobile phone applications, and further have actively developed the RISC-V industrial ecosystem. They aim to overcome the harsh sanctions the U.S. has imposed on China’s semiconductor sector and achieve China's long-running goal of self-sufficiency in semiconductors by setting up a complete domestic chip supply chain. This report analyzes the current development status of RISC-V manufacturers in the United States and China and examines the development trends of RISC-V in various applications.

Methodology

Primary research with a holistic, cross-domain approach

The exhaustive primary research methods are central to the value that the analyst delivers. A combination of questionnaires and on-site visits to the major manufacturers provides a first view of the latest data and trends. Information is subsequently validated by interviews with the manufacturers' suppliers and customers, covering a holistic industry value chain. This process is backed up by a cross-domain team-based approach, creating an interlaced network across numerous interrelated components and system-level devices to ensure statistical integrity and provide in-depth insight.

Complementing primary research is a running database and secondary research of industry and market information. Dedicated research into the macro-environmental trends shaping the ICT industry also allows the analyst to forecast future development trends and generate foresight perspectives. With more than 20 years of experience and endeavors in research, the methods and methodologies include:

Method

  • Component supplier interviews
  • System supplier interviews
  • User interviews
  • Channel interviews
  • IPO interviews
  • Focus groups
