Chip design, reimagined.
Introducing a fast, affordable, and efficient new way to design silicon chips.
A new way of building custom silicon.
01. Design
Choose the base SoC that suits your application. Create variations using a rich library of IP from our DesignShare Partners — or onboard your own IP. Save as many chip designs as you like.
02. Prototype
Run your application code on virtualized chips. Iterate until you get the performance that’s right for your product.
03. Order
Receive sample chips within weeks — at a deep discount. With SiFive, there are no upfront IP costs until you need production quantities.
