SiFive Performance
P500-Series

The SiFive Performance™ P570 Gen 3 is a fully out-of-order high-performance CPU IP with support for the most comprehensive set of RVA23 profile features to the consumer and commercial segments. Now with a common set list of extensions to target, broad SW development will be far easier.

Beyond RVA23, the P570 also supports many other vector-crypto and standards-related extensions. This is achieved with an innovative microarchitecture that is specifically designed for the modern mixed scalar and vector workloads that exist in the AI era.

The SiFive Performance™ P570 Gen 3 is a fully out-of-order high-performance CPU IP with support for the most comprehensive set of RVA23 profile features for the consumer and commercial segments.

Versus the P570 Gen 3, the P550 Gen 3 offers area savings for applications that do not require vector compute acceleration or the latest Linux/Android operating system support.

• Full RVB23 support with additional extension options available
• 64b fully Out of Order high performance 3 wide, 13 stage pipeline
• Industry leading compute per mm²
• Class leading power management
• Multi-core, multi-cluster scaling
• Embedded Linux and RTOS ready
• Robust security with SiFive Shield and WorldGuard
• A complete set of system IP, including SiFive Insight debug and trace, SiFive Shield security with WorldGuard, RISC-V RERI standard RAS, advanced interrupt architecture

As the featured processor IP within the HiFive Premier™ P550 development board, the SiFive Performance P550 Gen 1 has been a cornerstone in accelerating the RISC-V software ecosystem in recent years. 

This IP has empowered the industry through several pioneering milestones: 

• Canonical partnered with SiFive to launch the HiFive Premier P550 with native RISC-V Ubuntu 24.04 LTS available out of the box.
• Following this successful launch, Red Hat collaborated with SiFive to port Red Hat Release 10 to the platform.
• NVIDIA has further validated this ecosystem by announcing the porting of CUDA to RISC-V using the HiFive Premier P550.

While customers continue to ship SoCs utilizing this revolutionary processor IP, the P550 Gen 1 is no longer available for new licensing. It has been succeeded by the enhanced performance and efficiency of the new SiFive Performance P570 and P550 Gen 3.
