loading . . . RISC-V International Newsletter – October 2025 ### A Note From Our CEO
As we head into the final quarter of the year, the progress across the RISC-V ecosystem is undeniable: RISC-V is here, ready, and exceeding expectations.
In a few weeks, the global community will come together at RISC-V Summit North America 2025 in Santa Clara. Our keynote speakers will highlight RISC-V’s accelerating adoption and growth: Google will show how AI-driven automation is streamlining software portability, creating a “paved road” that accelerates RISC-V adoption; the SHD Group will unveil new analysis showing RISC-V surpassing 25% silicon market penetration, exceeding 20B units by 2031, and driving growth through Edge AI adoption; Microchip will demonstrate how RISC-V’s openness and adaptability are enabling secure, mission-ready platforms for the most demanding environments; the Ethereum Foundation will explore innovative use of RISC-V in blockchain and a growing role in zero-knowledge proof systems; and AWS will describe how designing processors in the Cloud through advanced emulation is democratizing access, accelerating innovation cycles and reducing costs. These speakers represent just a glimpse of the expertise and innovation you’ll experience.
Be there in Santa Clara to engage with the full lineup and help shape the future of RISC-V.
Alongside these keynote insights, I’m particularly excited about our hands-on developer workshops, where attendees can learn directly from experts on topics ranging from processor design to software optimization and then apply the lessons learnt through hands-on labs. This is where knowledge is transferred, skills are sharpened, and the next wave of innovation begins.
It’s been great to see RISC-V take the stage not just in North America, but around the world. At the RISC-V Automotive Conference in Munich, we highlighted RISC-V’s role in the future of the software-defined vehicle and the growing commitment of the automotive ecosystem, while the RISC-V Summit in China brought forward incredible momentum and adoption stories across Asia. These events reinforce what we see every day: a strong, diverse, and growing global community shaping the future of computing together.
The path ahead is clear. With collaboration, openness, and determination, we are transforming the way the world thinks about hardware and software.
I hope to see you in Santa Clara this October as we continue building the foundation for the next era of innovation.
– Andrea Gallo, CEO, RISC-V International
