What Condor Computing does

Condor Computing is a U.S.-based semiconductor IP company founded in 2023 as a wholly-owned R&D subsidiary of Andes Technology, a Taiwanese RISC-V IP vendor. The company designs high-performance, out-of-order RISC-V processor IP targeted at AI inference, cloud computing, data-centric workloads, and edge compute. Its flagship product, Cuzco, is an RVA23-compliant CPU IP core built on a clean-sheet, 8-issue superscalar, out-of-order microarchitecture with proprietary Novel Temporal Instruction Management, advanced branch prediction and prefetching, and a scalable memory hierarchy intended to span edge through server-class systems. The product is designed to integrate into Andes' existing RISC-V software ecosystem, EDA flows, toolchain, and software stack.

The company operates from a San Jose, CA headquarters and an Austin, TX R&D center, and is led by President and founder Ty Garibay. Its go-to-market is B2B IP licensing to chip designers and semiconductor companies, with pricing not publicly disclosed; early partner engagement is routed through [email protected] and supported by Andes Technology's established global distribution network. The company has no publicly disclosed customers, revenue, or external funding rounds, and signals commercial readiness through active 2025 participation in Hot Chips, AI Infra Summit, TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum, RISC-V Summit North America, and SC25, as well as the November 2025 publication of the Cuzco Product Brief.

Condor positions its U.S.-based development as a differentiator versus offshore-developed IP, emphasizing design quality, compliance, and supply-chain control for customers with domestic-sourcing requirements. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, ownership is concentrated with Andes Technology and there are no third-party investors, private equity, or public shareholders indicated in the available data.

Direct peers

• SiFive: The most established RISC-V processor IP company, offering a range of cores from microcontrollers to application processors. Directly comparable to Condor as a competing licensor of RISC-V CPU IP, with the deepest customer base in the RISC-V ecosystem.
• Ventana Micro Systems: Develops high-performance RISC-V processor IP and chiplets targeting data center and cloud workloads. Closely comparable to Condor's Cuzco positioning in high-performance server-class RISC-V cores.
• Rivos: Stealth-stage startup building a high-performance RISC-V application processor and SoC platform for data center and AI workloads. Directly comparable to Condor on architecture ambition and target end-market.
• Esperanto Technologies: Develops RISC-V-based AI and high-performance computing accelerators, including ET-SoC-1. Overlaps with Condor on the RISC-V + AI inference thesis and represents a competing RISC-V-based compute platform for AI/HPC.
• Tenstorrent: AI accelerator company using RISC-V-based cores for its Grayskull and Wormhole processors. Comparable to Condor on the convergence of RISC-V architecture and AI inference compute, though Tenstorrent sells chips rather than IP.
• Codasip: European RISC-V processor IP company offering customizable RISC-V cores and associated EDA toolchain. Direct peer on the RISC-V IP licensing model with comparable customer targets in embedded and edge applications.

Broad incumbents

• MIPS (MIPS Tech): Long-established processor IP vendor now owned by GlobalFoundries-affiliated investors, offering the MIPS RISC/ISA-based cores. A broad incumbent in processor IP, comparable to Condor on the licensing business model even though the ISA differs from RISC-V.
• Arm Holdings: The dominant processor IP company, whose Cortex-A class cores are the primary high-performance alternative Condor competes with for AI/cloud/edge socket designs. Indirectly comparable on business model (IP licensing) and customer overlap.
• Synopsys (ARC Processor IP): Synopsys' ARC processor IP business competes in embedded and configurable processor IP, and its DesignWare IP portfolio includes processor cores. Comparable on IP licensing business model even though the ISA and primary end-markets differ.

Others

• Andes Technology: Condor's parent company and the most established Asian RISC-V IP vendor. While it owns Condor, Andes' portfolio of configurable embedded RISC-V cores addresses overlapping customer use cases and represents the closest analog on licensing model and RISC-V ecosystem positioning.
