The flexibility of RISC-V helps us address domain-specific requirements with custom processors that go beyond the roadmap of the mainstream IP providers.
Designing a high-performance RISC-V processor that achieved up to 3x the performance in critical workloads was no small feat. We needed to balance the features and options with the verification implications. The combined solution of Imperas golden reference models and Valtrix STING has helped us to achieve our verification and schedule goals.

The adoption of RISC-V is at an inflexion point across multiple markets and applications, and Intel fully appreciates that a healthy software ecosystem is critical for this new ISA to be successful.
The availability of Imperas RISC-V reference models for the Professional Edition of Intel Pathfinder for RISC-V further strengthens the tools available to developers as new silicon designs move from concept to production.
