SiFive Rolls Out P550 and P570 Gen 3 RISC-v IP
Quick Report
SiFive launched the third-generation Performance P550 and P570 RISC-V IP, with the P570 positioned as its most capable out-of-order core yet. The new design targets edge AI, commercial IoT, and consumer devices that need a modern RVA23 platform and stronger vector support.
The P570 Gen 3 adds a 3-wide, 13-stage out-of-order pipeline and an upgraded vector engine, with SiFive claiming 7 to 13 percent higher SPECint performance and lower dynamic power than the previous generation. The core also scales to 16 cores per subsystem and adds security-oriented features such as secure branch prediction, vector crypto, and support for FP16 and BF16 workloads.
