X-Silicon Unveils Low-Power C-GPU Architecture Combined With RISC-V CPU, Open Standard & Supports Vulkan

wccftech.com:

X-Silicon, a firm known for silicon IP solutions, has unveiled a new "C-GPU architecture," which combined with a RISC-V CPU focuses on low-power & efficient performance solutions.

X-Silicon's C-GPU Architecture Aims At Making The Low-Power Compute Segment More Diverse & Effective: RISC-V CPU, Open-Standard & Vulkan Support

Jon Peddie Research reports that X-Silicon has decided to have their take on the "efficient computing" markets through a new GPU architecture, which is planned to utilize GPU acceleration with RISC-V Vector CPUs, allowing a much more effective combination of architectures, ultimately guaranteeing faster and low-power performance. X-Silicon's C-GPU platform is intended to dominate in segments such as the automotive and embedded computing markets, where the power-to-performance ratios are pretty strict for manufacturers, which is why such efficient solutions are preferred.

Now, in terms of how X-Silicon intends to make its C-GPU architecture the way they are advertising, the firm plans on leveraging the RISC-V platform present on CPUs by "open-sourcing of its unified RISC-V vector CPU with GPU ISA."

C-GPU features a patented NanoTile architecture, which combines real-time processing with graphical rendering to efficiently manage compute resources. Moreover, NanoTile is said to contribute significantly to AI/ML applications, due to the optimized data flow, potentially creating it a viable alternative to the modern-day NPU offerings, at least on paper.

X-Silicon believes that its C-GPU architecture will receive massive interest going into the future, and through the NanoTile and RISC-V platforms, the company plans on creating a compelling package for manufacturers, ultimately increasing its adoption moving into the future. The company plans on making SDKs accessible to exclusive partners in the upcoming months, but the firm hasn't
