Consolidating hardware into fewer, more capable chips looks like an unambiguous win — until the complexity those separate components used to handle resurfaces in the software binding everything back together. In this episode, Sam Grove, Head of Software and Tools Business at MIPS, examines why hardware and software teams can’t keep building in sequence, and […]

Artificial intelligence is reshaping computing by moving intelligence from centralised cloud environments directly into everyday devices. Advances in edge AI, custom silicon and embedded computing are enabling a new generation of intelligent systems that are distributed, context-aware and increasingly autonomous.

Business is booming for semiconductor manufacturers, with AI and data center construction driving unprecedented demand. Explore how U.S. manufacturers are navigating tariffs, power challenges and industrial policy gaps in this Trendline.

MIPS, by GlobalFoundries, CEO Sameer Wasson and CTO Yankin Tanurhan sit down with EE Times Nitin Dahad to discuss the recent acquisition of the Synopsys IP Processor Solutions business and the opportunity in physical AI.

Nitin Dahad of EE Times moderates a panel with Sameer Wasson, CEO of MIPS, by GlobalFoundries, and Andrea Gallo, CEO of RISC-V International, for a conversation on how the industry must rethink chip design for agentic AI.

Arteris FlexGen network-on-chip (NoC) IP and Magillem software solutions enable rapid development of MIPS-based high-performance, RISC-V platforms spanning automotive, embedded, and robotics markets.

MIPS has made some waves in the embedded processor IP community, especially with its recent acquisition of Synopsys’s ARC processor IP business.

When conversations turn to semiconductor foundries, they typically begin with leading-edge process nodes and the race toward ever-smaller geometries. However, although nanometer bragging rights dominate headlines, something quieter—and arguably more consequential—is unfolding elsewhere in the industry.

Recent stories around MIPS, GlobalFoundries, and the wider RISC-V ecosystem point to a quiet but important shift in CPU IP. MIPS is no longer behaving like a niche or legacy player, but rather as a platform supplier aligned with safety-critical and real-time markets. In doing so, it is emerging as the most credible alternative to Arm outside the data center.

The most recent addition to the MIPS Atlas family of RISC-V processors supports transformer- and agentic-language AI models at the edge.
