Adhering to the value concept of "customer - centric", Bluecore Computing has won the trust of customers with its high - level chip design experience and professional service capabilities. It has launched strategic cooperation with leading enterprises in industries such as telecommunications, finance, and the Internet. Compared with traditional instruction set architecture chips, RISC - V server chips not only truly achieve independent control of underlying technologies but also combine the application characteristics of downstream industries in chip design, thus bringing a more efficient technological experience to many partners.
The team of Shenzhen Capital Group said:
As a new - generation reduced instruction set, RISC - V is highly anticipated in the AI era. Meanwhile, its open - source and open technological features provide an opportunity for Chinese chip companies to overtake on curves in high - performance chip design. Bluecore Computing has taken firm steps in the independent research and development and innovation of RISC - V server chips and is widely recognized by the market. We hope that the company can seize the opportunity in the new wave of chip design technology and industrial transformation brought about by the era and become a leader in high - performance intelligent computing solutions in the RISC - V industry.
Nanshan Strategic Emerging Industry Investment said:
As a pioneer in the design of RISC - V high - performance server chips in China, Bluecore Computing is facing a vast market. With the booming development of large AI models, the hardware demand for computing power chips is increasing day by day. In terms of the technological foundation, the RISC - V architecture provides a new path for China's chip industry to achieve independent control, with great development potential. In terms of the core team, the company has a well - structured team with years of experience in large CPU manufacturers, making the replication of success highly certain. Currently, the company's product R & D progress meets or even exceeds expectations, and its future prospects are worth looking forward to.
Lenovo Capital and Incubation Group said:
We always believe that RISC - V is a new technology with great potential and will flourish in China first. In just over a year, Bluecore Computing has overcome difficulties and made significant progress in product design, terminal form refinement, and strategic customer expansion, building a clear and leading moat. Lenovo Capital and Incubation Group always adheres to its beliefs and builds an advanced technology ecosystem. We will continue to assist Bluecore Computing in improving its product engineering capabilities and expanding application scenarios, and jointly promote the large - scale implementation of RISC - V server chips.
Gao Yuan, the deputy general manager of Gaoweida, said:
In today's era when information security is highly relevant to national security, an independently controllable chip architecture is the best choice for domestic information technology innovation. Compared with traditional chip architectures such as x86 and ARM, the RISC - V architecture can effectively avoid security vulnerabilities and back - door risks, meeting the requirements for independent control.
The fintech industry where Gaoweida is located is an important area for implementing the national requirements of independent control and information technology innovation, and it is also the main application direction for domestic technological innovation practice. The annual demand for domestic CPU servers that meet national information technology innovation requirements in this industry is huge. Gaoweida is one of the core suppliers in the domestic information technology innovation field of many large financial institutions. In the future, as Bluecore Computing's domestic RISC - V CPU servers are gradually mass - produced, our company will become a potential sales channel for Bluecore Computing. At the same time, based on our company's accumulation in software business in the fintech field, we hope to integrate our solutions with Bluecore Computing's chip technology in the future to create customized CPU design solutions based on the application scenarios of financial institutions, so as to better meet the business needs of financial customers.
Zhou Qi, a partner of GSR Ventures, said:
With its open and flexible characteristics, the RISC - V architecture is becoming a new engine for breaking the monopoly of computing power. We chose to invest in Bluecore Computing because we value its forward - looking layout in the RISC - V ecosystem.
The Bluecore Computing team's in - depth optimization ability of the RISC - V instruction set is impressive. They have not only achieved a breakthrough in energy - efficiency ratio but also filled the gap in the mid - to - high - end computing power market through heterogeneous computing architecture. This combination of "open - source genes + hardcore innovation" precisely meets the urgent need for technological independence in the context of global supply - chain reconstruction.
Chen Xiangming, the founder of Ginkgo Valley Capital, said:
Bluecore Computing focuses on the cutting - edge field of RISC - V server CPU chips, and its technological path perfectly aligns with the national semiconductor strategy of "independent control". By deeply exploring the open - source characteristics of the RISC - V architecture, the team has successfully broken through the design barriers of high - performance server chips. Its modular and customizable technological advantages can not only meet the computing power needs of scenarios such as cloud computing and large AI models but also show the potential to surpass traditional architectures in terms of energy - efficiency ratio and cost control. We look forward to the team accelerating the improvement of China's RISC - V industrial ecosystem through innovative practices that combine technological foresight and commercial implementation capabilities.
The team of Guangjufubao Advanced Industry Fund said:
As the underlying computing power support, servers are experiencing an explosion in demand in the wave of digital and intelligent transformation. However, the domestic server CPU market is still dominated by the x86 and ARM architectures, which have certain limitations. As a rapidly developing open - source instruction set architecture, RISC - V is an important development direction for China to achieve independent control of chips and break its dependence on the x86 and ARM architectures. The Bluecore Computing team has years of in - depth experience in the field of server - level CPUs, with experience in designing high - performance multi - core chips and rich experience in mass production and delivery. We are optimistic about Bluecore Computing's competitiveness in the RISC - V high - performance chip market in the future and look forward to joining hands with the company to not only achieve independent control of Chinese chips but also reshape the industrial landscape with ultimate performance and reliable quality.
