Direct peers

• Global Unichip Corp. (GUC): GUC offers ASIC design services, IP, and turnkey solutions to fabless and system companies, mirroring MoreThanIP's design-house-plus-IP model.
• Ceva, Inc. Ceva licenses semiconductor IP cores (DSP, connectivity, AI/ML) to chip makers and ASIC designers. It competes with MoreThanIP in the same IP-core/ASIC-enablement category for advanced SoC designs.
• VeriSilicon Holdings: VeriSilicon is a fabless semiconductor IP and chip design platform company offering IP licensing, SoC design services, and ASIC solutions — directly overlapping MoreThanIP's positioning as an ASIC IP and design house.
• Faraday Technology Corporation: Faraday provides ASIC design services and IP along with turnkey chip production support. It is a direct comparable to MoreThanIP's combined ASIC design and IP licensing model.
• Open-Silicon (now part of SiFive): Open-Silicon historically provided ASIC design services and IP integration; now part of SiFive, it remains a comparable ASIC design services and IP player in MoreThanIP's category.
• Imagination Technologies: Imagination licenses GPU, AI, and general-purpose IP cores to semiconductor and ASIC customers. It is comparable to MoreThanIP as a focused IP licensor targeting custom ASIC/SoC integration.
• Alphawave Semi: Alphawave Semi designs and licenses high-speed connectivity IP and offers custom silicon/ASIC services. It targets the same advanced-ASIC IP customer base as MoreThanIP.

Broad incumbents

• Cadence Design Systems: Cadence combines EDA tools with a growing IP portfolio (including Tensilica and connectivity IP). It overlaps with MoreThanIP on IP and ASIC design enablement but as part of a much larger suite.
• Arm Holdings: Arm licenses processor and system IP that underpins a large share of custom SoCs. It is the deepest incumbent in the IP licensing space that MoreThanIP occupies, with vastly broader catalog and ecosystem reach.
• Synopsys, Inc. Synopsys is a dominant EDA vendor that also sells a broad DesignWare IP catalog. It competes with MoreThanIP across IP licensing and ASIC implementation services, but at vastly greater scale and breadth.
