In order to concentrate on its GPU and AI solutions, Imagination Technology in the UK has stopped developing RISC-V processor cores.
In December 2021, Imagination technology introduced their Catapult family of RISC-V CPUs. In 2022, the company released the RTXM-2200, a real-time embedded CPU core. In April 2024, it introduced the APXM-6200, a 64-bit core.
Earlier in November, 2024, Imagination technology announced that its newly released Imagination DXS GPU IP has been shortlisted for the TechWorks Automotive Systems Innovation Award. This award honors a company or project team that uses cutting-edge technology to enhance a final product while simultaneously satisfying customer demands, reliability standards, and market window specifications.
Apart from providing exceptional performance for compute and graphics applications, IMG DXS presents a novel, proprietary, zero-compromise method of satisfying ASIL-B standards.
Because of its advancements in distributed functional safety, automotive SoC designers may now check for processing errors without laying down more silicon, repeating workloads, or implementing expensive and complicated software testing.
