Intel announced to join RISC - V international foundation, become a senior member. Intel said, ready to a considerable funds, to help the big and small, old and new companies to use Intel OEM service (IFS) build a disruptive technology. The new $1 billion investment fund aims to use the latest innovative chip architecture and advanced packaging technology to speed up the customer time to market. In addition, it will not support for architecture too picky, in order to help achieve its vision and IFS is easy to use a variety of instruction set architecture (ISA), covers the x86, Arm and RISC - V.

One of the key elements for Intel IFS innovation fund announcement

1. The IFS innovation fund of $1 billion, to support the early startups and mature companies, build a disruptive technology for casting ecosystem. Much of it will be accelerated RISC - V.

2. Intel will join the RISC - V international foundation, it is a guidance of RISC - V technology and management of the community alliance.

3. Intel announced that will create the future in the IFS technology partners RISC - V chip, including from the Andes, Esperanto, and Ventana technology.

4. Intel will authorize differentiation RISC -v IP to speed up the innovation.

5. Intel will provide for open Intel based on RISC -v Chiplet building block access, use advanced encapsulation and high-speed interface chip to chip.

6. Intel also mentioned that they will support multiple instruction architecture design methods, including x86, Arm and RISC - V.

Intel has also announced the IFS Accelerator alliance, the alliance is essentially an ecosystem alliance, aimed at helping OEM customers will be silicon concepts into actual products. "A vibrant semiconductor design ecosystem is vital for the success of our contract. We are happy with leading design company plans to start our ecosystem, and this will accelerate our OEM plays a crucial role in the success of clients, "said Pat Gelsinger, Intel's chief executive. Through the program, customers can use advanced tools to assist in planning, design, verification, testing and implementation of electronic systems. This is all part of the Intel electronic design automation (EDA).

The influence of the semiconductor industry

Intel for its rival chip to develop OEM business, and are investing in emerging markets RISC - V as the catalyst. Intel's rival Andes Technology, Esperanto Technologies, Si Five and Ventana Micro is an early partner now. In addition, Intel, points out that contract customers urged its support more RISC - V IP, meet this demand is also an important task of Intel's innovation fund of $1 billion, including "will further strengthen ecological system and help push RISC - V using investment and products", the key is to foster "subversive RI
