Esperanto Technologies Partners with Intel to Advance Massively Parallel RISC-V-based AI Acceleration Solutions

Esperanto Technologies, the leading developer of high-performance, energy-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) inference accelerators based on the RISC-V instruction set, announced that the company is entering a strategic partnership with Intel to advance its massively parallel RISC-V-based AI acceleration solutions. As part of the partnership, Esperanto Technologies plans to use Intel Foundry Services (“IFS”) silicon and chiplet packaging technologies to advance its RISC-V-based technology and deliver its massively parallel AI acceleration silicon solutions spanning from cloud to edge.

“Esperanto plans to use Intel Foundry Services leading edge silicon and advanced packaging technologies with our next generation massively-parallel RISC-V based AI accelerators”

“Intel Foundry Services is excited to add Esperanto’s massively-parallel AI accelerators to the IFS ecosystem,” said Bob Brennan, Vice President and General Manager of IFS Customer Solutions Engineering. “The combination of Esperanto’s low-power design techniques and IFS advanced silicon and packaging technologies should enable thousands of Esperanto’s RISC-V based processors to operate in a single package with remarkably low power.”
