RISC-V can open up locked CPU market: Ananant Systems
NEW DELHI: The RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) has the potential to open the tightly locked central processing unit (CPU) architecture, enabling startups and companies to develop chips for various customised applications, said a senior executive of Ananant Systems . Currently, SoftBank-backed chipmaker Arm Holdings licenses its RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) technology to chipmakers like MediaTek and Qualcomm, who then develop processors for smartphones and tablets, while Intel and AMD's x86 CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) architecture powers general-purpose laptops and personal computers. Open-source RISC promises to lower the cost of developing affordable chipsets for specialised applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing and wireless signal processors, Chitranjan Singh, founder & CEO, Ananant Systems, told ETTelecom in an interview. 'For the last few decades, the CPU architecture has been closed, and there has been no open-source architecture suitable for some of the huge use cases. So, RISC-V is very fit for standalone microcontrollers and embedded applications,' he said. The Bengaluru-headquartered startup, with in-house intellectual property (IP), chip design , semiconductor products, software, and systems, said its digital signal processor (DSP) chip uses RISC-V. CISC processors come with a large instruction set with complex instructions that can perform multiple operations in a single cycle, compared to RISC, which has a smaller instruction set with simpler, more easily executed instructions, making the technology suitable for applications where high-performance, simplicity and efficiency are the main criteria. '...with RISC-V, we can efficiently add a co-processor with specialised instruction sets for particular use cases of wireless signal processing and AI inference,' Singh said. 'Given the adaptability of the architecture, our product will be suitable for other applications like small cell and private 5G.' READ MORE | Ananant Systems working with major local OEMs to develop BSNL's 5G chip But despite the potential of RISC-V, its uptake has been slow. The executive attributed this to a lack of software ecosystem, adding that it may take 10-20 years to build a sizeable software segment that can run on this architecture. The startup is developing a 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) chip, which it says offers more efficiency and cost-savings over the incumbents. It is in discussions with state-controlled Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited 's ( BSNL ) vendors to this extent. The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) in 2022 had launched the Digital India RISC-V, or the DIR-V programme, to enable India to realise self-reliance in semiconductors and microprocessors. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the then minister of state for electronics and IT, had said that RISC-V has emerged as a strong alternative to Arm and Intel x86 in the last 10 years, having no licensing encumbrances, enabling its adoption by "one and all in the semiconductor industry, at different complexity levels for various design purposes". Notably, IIT Madras and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) have already developed the SHAKTI Processor and the VEGA Processor, respectively, based on RISC-V.

This semiconductor manufacturing company became victim of politics, lost Rs Rs 11000000000000, the company is.... One of the largest technology companies in Europe, ASML, has witnessed a massive loss in the last one year. The market value of the Dutch company plunged to USD 130 billion (about Rs 10.8 lakh crore). In July 2024, its value was USD 130 billion (about Rs 10.8 lakh crore). The value of the company has fallen drastically in less than a year. However, there is no fault of the company in the losses, and it has fallen prey to the political game which is going on between the United States and China. Notably, Dutch company ASML is a crucial link in the semiconductor industry, and it is the only company in the globe that makes EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography) machines. These EUV machines are essential for chipmaker companies that manufacture the most modern and fastest chips, like TSMC, Samsung and Intel. However, the ongoing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing have badly affected the Dutch company. The US has put a ban on shipping these machines to China, due to which ASML can no longer sell its advanced machines to China. This development has directly affected the sales of the company. ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet stated that the company's sales from China in 2025 will be lower than past years. However, the company has recently started shipping the next-generation High NA EUV machines. Notably, these High NA EUs may remain in demand from big companies like Samsung and Intel in the future. What Does Analyst Said? Although current market conditions are challenging, some analysts remain positive. A US-Europe trade agreement could boost market confidence, and projections suggest ASML's prospects are strong for 2025 and 2026 due to rising demand for its chipmaking equipment. One analysis predicts a potential 17% increase in ASML's stock price in the coming months. What is the history of the company? ASML Holding NV is a Dutch company which was founded in 1984 as a joint venture between Philips and ASM International. Headquartered in Veldhoven, the company became independent in 1995. ASML manufactures and sells photolithography machines for the semiconductor industry, specifically EUV and DUV machines. Most of ASML's revenue comes from Asian countries such as – Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China. Asia is its largest market for the Dutch company, accounting for about 70 percent of total sales. But China's contribution is expected to decline in 2025. ASML also has a strong presence in Europe and the America.

Intel, AMD former executives throw the hat into AI semiconductor ring
About a dozen executives from semiconductor and chip design companies such as Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments have quit to establish AI chip startups in India to tap into the multibillion-dollar from Texas Instruments have started C2i Semiconductors, which is developing products to reduce energy consumption by semiconductors. They have raised $4 million from Yali Capital and Intel CEO Lip Bu-Tan, according to Computing, which was acquired by Krutrim, was started by two Intel veterans, Sambit Sahu and Raghuraman Barathalwar. They are currently heading Krutrim's semiconductor initiatives, which ET had reported earlier. Four former Intel and AMD executives have set up Agrani Labs and are developing indigenous AI chips in Bengaluru. They are in talks to raise $8 million from Peak XV Partners, according to people familiar with the development. Most of these executives have spent 15-20 years in the semiconductor industry. India's semiconductor ecosystem is evolving rapidly through a combination of government initiatives such as design-linked incentives, experts said. Apart from this, the country is becoming a key centre for chip design and development and concentrated efforts are being made to set up semiconductor hubs. Global semiconductor sales are on track to reach $1 trillion by 2030 from $627 billion in 2024, according to a Deloitte report, driven by the demand for generative AI and other chips, including those for CPUs, GPUs, memory and power. In addition to this, semiconductor startups — even those that do not cater to the AI space — have seen investor interest in the past year. These include Mindgrove Technologies, InCore and Agnit Semiconductors. Agrani Labs is developing AI chips for the global market and is currently in stealth mode, according to people aware of the matter. Agrani Labs and Peak XV Partners didn't respond to queries. C2i Semiconductors, which is also in stealth mode, recently received the first part of funding from the government's design-linked incentive programme, the company announced on LinkedIn. Krutrim had earlier announced that the company is developing the Bodhi 1 chip, focused on advanced AI models, which is expected to hit the market in 2026. Bodhi 2, focused on training and inferencing, is scheduled for release by 2028. Others that have received funding recently include InCore, which raised $3 million from Peak XV. Mindgrove Technologies raised $8 million from Peak XV and others. Agnit Semiconductors has raised $4.87 million from 3one4 Capital and others. The Covid pandemic showed that India needed to develop its own supply chain, said Ganapathy Subramaniam, managing partner, Yali Capital, and former Texas Instruments executive. In the last few years, the government has drawn up several initiatives to develop the ecosystem. Over the past four decades, the country has produced chip designers for Texas Instruments, Intel and AMD, Subramaniam said. 'India is the second-largest centre for chip design for companies in the US, South Korea and Japan, creating a huge talent pool in the country,' he said. Challenges Scaling up semiconductors is still a challenge, said Tarun Pathak, research director, Counterpoint Research. 'India is still dependent on imports for many essential inputs, particularly from China, which holds cost and volume advantages due to its mature manufacturing and efficient supply chains,' he said. 'Matching the scale while keeping the costs down will be a challenge.' In addition, while government policies help, global original equipment manufacturers have established supply networks and the shift will take time, he said.
