Three High-Performance RISC-V Processors on the Horizon

Several high-performance RISC-V processors are slated for release in the latter half of 2025: the UltraRISC UR-DP1000, Zhihe A210, and SpacemIT K3. While details are still emerging, the UR-DP1000, an octa-core 64-bit RISC-V SoC, will power Shenzhen Milk-V Technology's Titan mini-ITX motherboard. The Zhihe A210 boasts impressive AI inference capabilities, reaching up to 12 TOPS (INT8). The SpacemIT K3, based on the X100 core, offers strong vector computing performance. While full specifications are yet to be released, these processors represent significant advancements in the RISC-V ecosystem and are expected to become available in 2026.
