For over 50 years, the semiconductor industry has relied on the Tomasulo algorithm, introduced by IBM in 1967, to build specialized CPUs, GPUs, and other chips tailored to specific computing tasks.
Now, Ubitium, a hardware startup founded by semiconductor veterans, has developed a universal RISC-V processor that consolidates all computing workloads onto a single chip.
This generation is vital especially for embedded systems and robotics, where hardware load limits the deployment of complex computing solutions.
Ubitium’s universal processor is designed to be scalable and supports a portfolio of chips that vary in length but share the same microarchitecture and software stack, ensuring that consumers can expand their programs without changing their progression processes.
The processor’s workload-agnostic design makes it suited to any computing task and helps to simplifying hardware requirements.
Ubitium has raised $3. 7 million in seed funding, which will drive the progression of initial chip prototypes and progression kits, with plans to release the first processors by 2026.
“The $500 billion processor industry is built on restrictive boundaries between computing tasks,” noted Hyun Shin Cho, CEO of Ubitium.
“We’re erasing those boundaries. Our Universal Processor does it all – CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA – in one chip, one architecture. This isn’t an incremental improvement. It is a paradigm shift. This is the processor architecture the AI era demands.”
Cho further stated the company envisions a future where a single processor design can handle tasks ranging from small embedded systems to high-performance computing without specialized hardware modifications.
“For too long, we have accepted that making devices smart means making them complex. Multiple processors or processor cores, progression teams, endless integration challenges: today, that changes,” he added.
Efosa has been writing about generation for over 7 years, first driven by interest and now driven by a strong hobby in this field. He has a master’s degree and a doctorate in science, which gave him a solid foundation in analytical thinking. Efosa has developed a voluntary interest in generation policy, particularly exploring the intersection of privacy, security and policy. His studies focus on how technological advances influence regulatory frameworks and social standards, knowledge coverage and cybersecurity. By joining TechRadar Pro, in addition to privacy and generation, it also focuses on B2B security products. Efosa can be contacted at this email: udinmwenefosa@gmail. com
