Universal RISC-V Processor
A single reconfigurable processor that replaces the combination of CPU, DSP, GPU and FPGA chips found in typical embedded systems. Built on a Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array (CGRA), it adapts at runtime to different workload types including general-purpose compute, real-time signal processing (FFT for radar), and AI inference at the edge without separate accelerators. The chip runs Linux and RTOS in parallel, is fully RISC-V software compatible, and is being manufactured on Samsung Foundry's 8nm process. First silicon was taped out in December 2025, with volume production targeted for 2027.

About

Ubitium is a German semiconductor startup founded in 2024, headquartered in Düsseldorf with an R&D centre in Rülzheim. The company is developing a universal RISC-V microprocessor designed to replace the fragmented mix of specialised chips — CPUs, DSPs, GPUs and FPGAs — that embedded systems typically require today.
