Senior Intel CPU Architects Splinter to Develop RISC-V Processors -- Tom's Hardware

Tom's Hardware breaks the story of AheadComputing's founding by four veteran Intel architects.

Tom's Hardware broke the story of AheadComputing's founding, profiling the four co-founders' decades of Intel experience and what their departure signals for the future of CPU architecture. The piece covers each founder's track record -- from CEO Debbie Marr's 33 years spanning the i386 through Icelake, to Srikanth Srinivasan's work on Nehalem, Haswell, and Broadwell and examines why the team chose RISC-V as the foundation for the next generation of high-performance processors. The article also places AheadComputing's formation in context: the company went public weeks before Intel announced its largest-ever workforce reduction.
