San Jose, CA October 17, 2025 –– Andes Technology, a Founding Premier Member of RISC-V International and a leading supplier of high-efficiency, high-performance RISC-V processor IPs, will highlight its expanding ecosystem and preview its next-generation out-of-order CPU—code-named “Cuzco”—at RISC-V Summit North America 2025, taking place October 22–23 in Santa Clara, California.
Building on its success in bringing RISC-V to the mainstream, Andes is now extending its leadership into the high-performance domain. Cuzco, first revealed at Hot Chips 2025, introduces a time-based out-of-order microarchitecture engineered to deliver high performance and efficiency across compute-intensive applications in AI, datacenter, networking, and automotive markets. The Cuzco design is RVA23-compatible and represents the first in a new class of Andes CPUs aimed at datacenter-class performance while maintaining power efficiency and area leadership.
“Andes took RISC-V mainstream. Now we’re bringing it to the forefront of high-performance computing,” said Frankwell Lin, CEO of Andes Technology. “Our next-generation Cuzco CPU architecture, together with our strong ecosystem partners, showcases how RISC-V innovation is accelerating across every layer—from CPU IP to SoC design, analytics, and AI deployment.”
