GSOC Solutions, a premier ASIC development center located at Tel-Aviv, Israel, and Andes Technology (TWSE: 6533), a leading supplier of high-performance, low-power RISC-V processor cores, announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration will integrate Andes’ full range of RISC-V CPU IP into GSOC’s Ocean™ platform, a configurable SoC and chiplet infrastructure framework. This provides customers with a wider range of trusted, market-proven CPU options for building next-generation silicon for a range of demanding applications, including the growing Physical AI market.

GSOC Solutions will incorporate Andes’ extensive portfolio of licensable RISC-V cores—from the highly efficient 20-series, 25-series to the powerful, vector-capable 40-series and the out-of-order 60-series—into its Ocean™ platform. The Ocean™ platform is a reusable and scalable framework designed to accelerate the design of complex SoCs and chiplet-based systems. By offering a broader selection of pre-verified RISC-V cores from a leading IP provider, GSOC empowers its customers to select the optimal compute solution for their specific application, significantly reducing design risk and accelerating time-to-market.

“Our mission is to provide the most robust and flexible infrastructure for the next generation of modular silicon, and this partnership with Andes Technology is a cornerstone of that strategy,” said Itai Nader, Founder and CEO of GSOC Solutions. “Flexibility is at the heart of the Ocean platform. To further that mission, we are expanding our CPU options by integrating Andes’ world-class portfolio alongside our existing RISC-V core. This partnership provides our customers with an unparalleled range of choice, allowing them to select the ideal compute engine from a broad spectrum of trusted, market-proven options. This enables them to build highly differentiated products for markets such as automotive, data center, and Physical AI with greater confidence and speed.”

The collaboration directly addresses the industry’s demand for flexible, production-ready RISC-V solutions. The combination of GSOC’s chiplet-ready Ocean™ platform and Andes’ abundant portfolio of commercial RISC-V IP provides a clear and powerful path for system architects and silicon leaders to build next-generation products with the right compute performance for their needs.

“The RISC-V ecosystem thrives on collaboration that provides customers with both innovation and choice,” said Al Lin, overseas sales VP of Andes Technology. “GSOC’s expertise in configurable SoC and chiplet integration is a perfect complement to our extensive portfolio of production-proven RISC-V cores. This partnership makes it easier for companies to adopt RISC-V with the assurance that they are building on a trusted, scalable, and flexible foundation. We are excited to work with GSOC to accelerate the next wave of RISC-V-based designs.”

The expanded CPU portfolio is available immediately for new and existing GSOC Solutions customers. Customers can now engage with GSOC and Andes to license a wide range of Andes RISC-V cores as part of a complete Ocean™ platform design engagement.
