AheadComputing is a Beaverton, Oregon semiconductor IP company that designs, licenses and supports high-performance 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor cores. It was founded in 2024 by former Intel CPU architects Debbie Marr, Jonathan Pearce, Mark Dechene and Srikanth Srinivasan, with chip designer Jim Keller on its board. The cores are built clean-slate around per-core performance rather than core count, using a large out-of-order execution engine intended to hide memory latency on latency-sensitive workloads. The company targets AI inference, cloud and data center infrastructure, client and mobile devices, and edge computing.
What sets it apart
A ground-up RISC-V core with no legacy x86 constraints, aimed squarely at the single-thread performance ceiling the founders spent careers hitting at Intel, and licensable without the restrictions of proprietary instruction-set architectures.
Licensable high-performance 64-bit RISC-V processor cores designed for maximum per-core performance, delivered as design IP with engineering support for customers integrating them into their own silicon.
