Jon Peddie Research’s RISC-V Market Insights report is a comprehensive review of the maturing RISC-V processor IP market.
The RISC-V Market Insights report provides market information of major structural shifts in the RISC-V landscape—from rising investor pressure and M&A activity to the hardening of IP cores and the evolving geopolitics around open architectures.
The information JPR reports is a leading indicator of how the RISC-V market will behave.
Description
The report is an indicator of how the RISC-V market is and will behave. With RISC-V being an open specification, companies use it internally in products that they then sell, and some offer stand-alone RISC-V processors or IP to design one.
The report contains the following content:
- Major RISC-V IP vendors tracked and profiled
- Consolidation as it continues to occur
- Standardization gains
- Market growth around the world
The RISC-V Market Insights report is a valuable resource for understanding the RISC-V market, providing insight into the companies using it in products today and in the near future.
