Ventana Micro Systems Inc., a well-known designer of RISC-V platforms, has recently announced the release of Veyron V2 RISC-V Platform, an advanced accelerated compute platform designed for AI, data centers, and emerging workloads. The main function of this SoC is that it integrates third-party IPs and domain-specific accelerators, making it highly adaptable across industries like automotive, edge computing, and data centers.

This new platform features a fifteen-wide, aggressive out-of-order pipeline that operates at a 3.6GHz clock speed. Additionally, it utilizes cutting-edge 4nm process technology for optimal power efficiency and performance. On top of that, it supports scalability of up to 192 cores across multiple clusters, with each cluster featuring 32 cores and 128MB of shared L3 cache, reducing latency in demanding computing scenarios.

Its 512-bit vector unit and Ventana AI matrix extensions optimize AI and data-heavy tasks, ensuring robust AI and machine learning performance. The Veyron V2 also offers enterprise-grade features such as server-class IOMMU, Advanced Interrupt Architecture, and comprehensive RAS features for enhanced reliability and security, with protections against side-channel attacks to safeguard critical systems.
