Physical AI is Built on MIPS
MIPS, by GlobalFoundries, develops AI inference platforms for energy-efficient Physical AI systems and embedded devices. MIPS, combined with ARC processor solutions, delivers solutions for automotive, aerospace, robotics, AI/data center infrastructure, and other embedded markets. Leveraging the nature of RISC-V to deliver open technology, MIPS offers a single portfolio spanning AI & processor IP, advanced workload modeling, and custom solutions for Physical AI platforms. Backed by GlobalFoundries process technology, packaging, and manufacturing, MIPS has global scale.
“Physical AI is driving tighter integration of compute, software and process technology and customers need a partner who can support them across all three together. With MIPS and ARC united, GF delivers the software, IP and custom silicon capabilities our customers need to build differentiated, application-specific solutions across automotive, industrial robotics and embedded systems, enabling us to operate as a holistic technology partner and engage throughout the design cycle.”
Sameer WassonCEO of MIPS, by GF 
“As automotive and industrial systems become increasingly real-time and AI-driven, we need a technology partner that can bring together standards-based IP and optimized silicon design at scale, with the supply resilience our industry now requires. GlobalFoundries' combination of MIPS and ARC processor IP with its manufacturing scale provides companies a strong end-to-end foundation to build differentiated, power-efficient solutions for next-generation intelligent systems.”
Thomas SchneidVP of Automotive Software and Ecosystem, Infineon 
“What stands out in the MIPS+GlobalFoundries Prototype to Product path is the consolidation of three or more vendor relationships into a single accountable partner. For small, architecturally novel teams, that integration is what makes a faster, cheaper, and lower-risk route from FPGA to custom silicon credible rather than aspirational.”
Steven DickensCEO and Principal Analyst, HyperFRAME Research 
"The GlobalFoundries, MIPS and ARC story — the ability to get the software to actually work, and then manufacture it — means everybody could be a medium-scale IDM, not just the large-scale players."
"I can see a point where custom ASICs are coming back with the capabilities of RISC-V, where you have things like MIPS Atlas Explorer and the ability to have medium-scale manufacturing, or something where you can actually get small to medium volumes."
