【2024 ANDES RISC-V CON Silicon Valley】
DEEP DIVE INTO AUTOMOTIVE / AI / APPLICATION PROCESSORS AND SECURITY TRENDS
📍About The Event
Recently, RISC-V, with its open, streamlined, and scalable configuration, has become the mainstream solution adopted by leading market players, paving the way for widespread technological innovation. In the RISC-V application field, there has been rapid development in forward-looking areas such as automotive electronics and AI. The development application processors has attracted a lot of attention, and the need for product information security has also increased.

As a Premier member and a leading brand in 32/64-bit embedded CPU cores, Andes, a member of RISC-V International, will host an annual seminar on June 11 at the DoubleTree by Hilton San Jose. The theme of the seminar is "ANDES RISC-V CON: Deep Dive into Automotive/AI/Application Processors and Security Trends." The event aims to introduce the market dynamics and development trends of RISC-V, discuss Andes' comprehensive product portfolio recently launched, and assist industries in fully utilizing the high-performance/low-power characteristics of the RISC-V architecture to enhance product competitiveness and move towards a future full of opportunities.

The seminar will feature presentations and on-site demonstrations by numerous RISC-V ecosystem partners, providing insights into the latest international trends and technological developments in RISC-V. Let us join hands to celebrate this event and explore the potential of RISC-V together with industry experts, paving the way for a diverse application vision!
