UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express): This has become the dominant IP standard for die-to-die communication. In 2026, designers "mix and match" IP from different vendors (e.g., an Arm CPU chiplet with a specialized AI accelerator chiplet) on a single package. Beyond Microcontrollers: While it started in simple IoT devices, 2026 sees RISC-V IP being used in AI PCs (delivering up to 50 TOPS) and high-performance data center CPUs like Ventana’s Veyron series.
Software Parity: The "software gap" has closed; major Linux distributions and Android now treat RISC-V as a Tier-1 architecture, making it a viable royalty-free alternative to Arm.
