In his speech at the celebration, Dr. Jiang Chaohui, founder and CEO of Yuefang Technology, reviewed the company’s development journey and unveiled its future strategic plan.
Over the past five years, Yuefang Technology has focused on the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone and established R&D centers and branch offices in semiconductor industry clusters such as Shenzhen and Beijing. The company’s headcount has grown from 36 in 2020 to nearly 200 today. The company has consistently maintained a high level of R&D investment and has already launched six products based on the RISC-V architecture. SoC chip Our products cover the fields of AIoT sensing, control, and edge computing, with cumulative chip sales exceeding 4 million units. We took the lead in initiating the “RDSA Industry Alliance,” and our company has joined multiple RISC-V open-source communities, actively contributing to the thriving development of the RISC-V ecosystem!
Thanks to its technological innovation and outstanding market performance, the company has successively won more than 10 prestigious awards and honors, including “Potential Unicorn Enterprise,” “Strong Chip China – Excellence in Product Award,” and “First Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress from the China Electrical Engineering Society.” Over the past five years, it has grown into a leading player in RISC-V architecture SoC chip design and industrial applications!
Dr. Jiang Chaohui stated that in the future, Yuefang Technology will be committed to building a high-performance AI computing platform based on the RISC-V DSA architecture, promoting the establishment of the RDSA Industry Alliance and its ecosystem, driving industry transformation through technological innovation, and contributing to the creation of an intelligent and sustainable future!
Mr. Yuan Bohu, Vice President of R&D at Yuefang Technology, shared the company’s successful experience in the practical application of RISC-V products and introduced the company’s future technological evolution direction as well as its plans for application deployment.
Over the past five years, Yuefang Technology has started with RISC-V SoC chip design and gradually refined a full-stack solution encompassing modules, boards, application software, development tools, and system products. The chip performance has been comprehensively upgraded—from a 200 MHz, 32-bit single-core RISC-V to a 1.8 GHz, 64-bit multi-core RISC-V. Leveraging its comprehensive technological capabilities and through deep collaboration with industry customers, the company has successfully launched integrated applications spanning multiple product categories and technological ecosystems—ranging from simple MCU-level connectivity applications to edge computing and on-device AI inference. The company has achieved remarkable application results across various fields and scenarios.
Mr. Yuan Bohu stated that the company will next further refine its software and hardware platforms for complex applications such as AIoT cloud platforms and AI platforms, continuously enhancing its technological capabilities. This will enable the company to deliver exciting products and services for emerging industries in Zhuhai, including “Smart City on the Cloud,” the low-altitude economy, and embodied robotics, thereby laying a solid foundation for the application of RISC-V DSA’s technological achievements in the intelligent transformation of countless industries!
