RISC-V IP Cores

From MCUs up to application processors, much of the difference between RISC-V parts comes from the IP core. This section lists publicly documented RISC-V CPU IP by brand and origin, with instruction-set extensions, pipeline depth, MPU/MMU, vector and AI extensions, licensing model, and representative chips.

When choosing an MCU, look first at the core’s lineage and ecosystem: toolchain support, RTOS ports, and operator-library maturity for a given core often drive the project schedule more than the headline clock speed.
