VIU7 Series
VIU75
The SiFive Intelligence VIU75 Standard Core is a single-core instantiation of our RISC-V application processor with vector extensions and is capable of supporting full-featured operating systems such as Linux.
The VIU75 is ideal for applications requiring high-throughput, single-thread performance while under power constraints (e.g., AR, VR, sensor hubs, IVI systems, IP cameras, digital cameras, gaming devices).
