64-bit RISC-V Core Claims to Outperform Apple M1 SoC
Micro Magic says its RISC-V core outperforms Apple M1 and Arm Cortex-A9 on CoreMarks per Watt.
www.eetasia.com, Dec. 02, 2020 –
Micro Magic has introduced what it claims is the world's fastest 64-bit RISC-V core – a device it says outperforms the Apple M1 chip and Arm Cortex-A9. The company feels it has elegantly implemented David Patterson's original vision for the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture, working comfortably within the power budgets of today's battery-powered devices.
In late October 2020, Micro Magic issued a terse, two-sentence announcement. It had demonstrated a 64-bit RISC-V core achieving 5GHz and 13,000 CoreMarks at 1.1V. It said a single Micro Magic core running at 0.8V nominal delivers 11,000 CoreMarks at 4.25GHz, consuming only 200mW. To illustrate the point, Andy Huang, an advisor to Micro Magic and behind the creation of the FineSim circuit simulator, gave EE Times a demo of the core running on an Odroid board, achieving 4.327GHz at 0.8V and 5.19GHz at 1.1 V.
