Chinese company Yuefang Technology introduces a 12-nanometer chip with four RISC-V cores, GPU, AI accelerator and DDR4 controller. The choice of Chinese 64-bit RISC-V chips is growing: Yuefang Technology, founded by former Google and Cisco executive Dr Aglaia Kong (Jiang Zhaohui) near Shenzhen, is introducing the LeapFive NB2. The system-on-chip (SoC) is produced by an undisclosed contract manufacturer using 12-nanometre technology and combines four RISC-V cores with L2 cache, a memory controller for (LP)DDR4 RAM, a GPU, an AI accelerator (NPU) as well as with the usual controllers for USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, SDIO, SPI and perhaps also I2C.
