    EP 125: What's Going on with RISC-V? Update on Intel, Everything is AI!

    Ben Bajarin and Jay Goldberg discuss the recent consolidation in the RISC-V ecosystem, highlighted by GlobalFoundries' acquisition of MIPS and the sale of Codasip, noting that RISC-V is shifting from an academic project to a component within larger SoCs from companies like Qualcomm and Intel. They analyze Intel's strategic pivot, specifically the decision to abandon external sales of its 18A process in favor of focusing on the upcoming 14A node, while also addressing CEO Pat Gelsinger's admission that Intel will not compete in AI training. Finally, the hosts examine the 'everything is AI' market dynamic, where massive hyperscaler capital expenditure is driving growth across unrelated sectors like energy and chemicals, creating a 'picks and shovels' environment involving Neoclouds and real estate.

    The RP1 and beyond with the Raspberry Pi Hardware team

    James Adams (CTO) and Liam Fraser (Hardware/Software Engineer) from Raspberry Pi discuss the development of the RP1 custom silicon, the success of the RP2040 microcontroller, and the architecture of the Raspberry Pi 5. They explain how RP1 acts as a Southbridge/chiplet to offload I/O functions from the main Broadcom SoC, allowing for cost and complexity reductions as process nodes shrink. The conversation covers their internal chip design tooling, sourcing strategies during the chip shortage, and the rationale for sticking with ARM over RISC-V.

    Silicon Revolution with Matt Venn

    Matt Venn, founder of Tiny Tapeout and Zero to Asic, explains how Tiny Tapeout democratizes chip design by subdividing multi-project wafers (MPWs) from eFabless into affordable, small slots for hobbyists and students. He details the evolution of the platform from scan-chain limitations to a fast multiplexer architecture, enabling complex designs like a Linux-capable RISC-V processor and analog circuits using the Sky130 PDK. Venn also discusses the educational impact of tools like Wokwi and OpenLane, the upcoming analog ASIC course, and the growing ecosystem of open-source EDA tools supporting this 'silicon revolution.'
