InCore Semiconductors: Leading the Charge in RISC-V Chip Design
InCore Semiconductors, a Chennai-based startup founded in 2018, is spearheading India’s emergence as a hub for RISC-V chip design, aligning with global shifts away from x86 architecture. Supported by funding from PeakXV Partners, the company draws on expertise from the Shakti Microprocessor project at IIT Madras to pioneer commercial processor technologies.
InCore’s key strength lies in its highly configurable core generators, which tailor-make and optimize cores to meet specific client needs, setting it apart from competitors with limited core offerings. While initially targeting local markets, InCore has attracted international attention, particularly from aerospace and automotive industries, through strategic partnerships that co-create semi-integrated solutions, reducing time to market and risk for clients.
Addressing challenges faced by Indian service companies, InCore advocates for revenue growth through standardized solutions adaptable for multiple customers, prioritizing customer success by providing extensive support throughout chip design and application development stages. Leveraging partnerships for physical design, silicon validation, and volume production, InCore aims to serve as a comprehensive solutions provider, overseeing the entire process from initial specifications to software development.
