Imagination releases new Catapult CPUs, a RISC-V CPU product line

Imagination Technologies announced the launch of the new Catapult series, which is a processor IP product line based on the RISC-V architecture designed to meet the needs of next-generation heterogeneous computing. Imagination said that its Catapult CPU is based on the RISC-V architecture and is configured for different requirements such as performance, energy efficiency or balance, so as to be suitable for a wider market.

As a veteran of the industry, Imagination has more than 20 years of experience in providing IP solutions. Through the open-source RISC-V architecture ecosystem, Imagination can quickly increase and expand the Catapult series of product lines. There are currently four series under the Catapult product line, including dynamic microcontrollers, real-time embedded CPUs, high-performance application CPUs, and automotive functional safety CPUs. Among them, dynamic microcontrollers have been adopted by customers and are used in high-performance automotive GPUs, real-time embedded CPU is also on the market. High-performance application CPU and automotive functional safety CPU-related products will follow up in 2022. The automotive functional safety CPU-related products are developed in accordance with the ISO 26262 vehicle specification standard and have functional safety and security performance.
