Imagination Technology is primarily known for its GPU IP used by a wide range of companies across the industry, but in 2021 the company expanded its business with RISC-V Catapult CPU IP to address various market segments with a complete CPU+GPU solution. However, it looks like the business did not meet the company's expectations, so it has decided to divest in RISC-V to focus on GPU and AI IP, reports eeNews Europe.
"Imagination exited its standalone line of CPUs to increase our investment in graphics, AI, and compute at the edge which we believe is transformational for our business," a statement by Imagination published by eeNews Europe reads.
Despite this shift, Imagination maintains a commitment to the RISC-V ecosystem. It is ready to work with developers of RISC-V CPUs and CPU IP to try to become 'a GPU provider of choice' for the entire ecosystem, rather than addressing designs that its range of CPU IP could cover.
Indeed, the company's lineup of RISC-V CPU IP was not exactly wide and included IPs for microcontrollers, real-time embedded processors, entry-level automotive CPUs, and more recently a 64-bit core that could compete against Arm's Cortex-A510/A520. While the portfolio could potentially allow Imagination to license its cores to dozens or hundreds of companies (especially in China), it could not address the high end of the market, which is small today, but could grow in years to come.
