The MIPS P8700 core, featuring multi-core/multi-cluster and multi-threaded CPU IP based on the RISC-V ISA, is now progressing toward series production with multiple major OEMs. Key customers like Mobileye (Nasdaq: MBLY) have embraced this approach for future products for self-driving vehicles and highly automated driving systems.

“MIPS has been a key collaborator in our success with the EyeQ™ systems-on-chip for ADAS and autonomous vehicles,” said Elchanan Rushinek, executive vice president of engineering for Mobileye. “The launch of the MIPS P8700 RISC-V core will help drive our continued development for global automakers, enabling greater performance and excellent efficiency in cost and power usage.”

The P8700 Series is a high-performance out-of-order processor that implements the RISC-V RV64GC architecture, including new CPU and system-level features designed for performance, power, area form factors and additional proven features built on legacy MIPS micro-architecture deployed in more than 30+ car models today across the global OEM market. Engineered to deliver industry-leading compute density, MIPS’ latest processor harnesses three key architectural features, including:

  • MIPS Out-of-Order Multi-threading – enables execution of multiple instructions from multiple threads (harts) every clock cycle, providing higher utilization and CPU efficiency.
  • Coherent Multi-Core, Multi-Cluster – The P8700 Series scales up to 6 coherent P8700 cores in a cluster with each cluster supporting direct attach accelerators.
  • Functional Safety – designed to meet the ASIL-B(D) functional safety standard (ISO26262) by incorporating several fault detection capabilities such as end-to-end parity protection on address and data buses, parity protection on software visible registers, fault bus for reporting faults to the system, and more

The MIPS P8700 processor is now available to the broader market, with key partnerships already in place. Shipments with OEM launches are expected shortly.

Michelin, an Expert in Composite Solutions

Over the past 135 years, Michelin has developed unique expertise in combining materials. Today, that expertise makes it a leader in the design, production, and marketing of composite solutions that meet critical needs.

Composites are products that combine different components, which can have conflicting properties, to make it possible to design solutions for highly technically demanding applications: high heat resistance, flexibility with no deformation, rigidity and lightness, movement transmission without heating, etc. Composites can be polymer or elastomer products (rubber) and may be reinforced with textile fibers, glass, carbon, or metal to make them flexible or rigid. Tires are the perfect example of a highly complex flexible composite product with more components than a cell phone.

The Michelin group aims to become a leader in composite solutions, particularly flexible composites like coated fabrics, films, seals, conveyors, belts, hoses, and inflatable structures to meet critical needs in a vast range of industrial sectors including general industry, infrastructure, aerospace, transportation, energy, agriculture and food, and healthcare.

Michelin’s All-Sustainable Strategy: A Threefold Commitment to People, Profit, and Planet

Michelin’s journey has been rooted in one purpose: to provide a better way forward by making meaningful contributions to human progress and a more sustainable world. Its strategy for sustainable development hinges on three core pillars, ensuring every business decision balances social responsibility, economic success, and environmental stewardship:

  • People: Michelin’s longstanding commitment to people includes an emphasis on safety, inclusivity, and community. With a focus on creating a safe and engaging environment for its employees, Michelin is also fostering diversity and inclusion across all levels of the company, with notable improvements in employee and customer satisfaction. Journalists experienced these values firsthand at the Talent Campus in Laemchabang, the very location of the media days. The talent campus embodies Michelin’s vision to create a world where everyone can have a job they love, where talent, passion and potential are the only things that define a career. Exchanging with staff from all walks of life, members of the media also had an opportunity to experience firsthand Michelin’s DEI policies as well as the unprecedented engagement rate of 85%.
  • Profit: Michelin’s growth strategy is defined by sustainability and ambition, integrating sustainable practices that align with its iconic brand. With a reputation for innovation and a powerful global brand, Michelin continues to deliver financial value while pursuing industry leadership in technology and product development. The company’s unique innovation capabilities and expertise in materials combination come to life through innovations such as wind propulsion solutions (Wisamo™) that help accelerate carbonization of maritime transport and polymer composites that helped co-develop custom components in the field of regenerative medicine through Solesis™.
  • Planet: Recognizing the urgency of environmental challenges, Michelin has taken an industry-leading approach to sustainability. Through its Michelin Environmental Program (iMEP), Michelin’s commitment includes net-zero emissions for direct operations by 2050, the use of 100% renewable materials in all tires by 2050, and a strong commitment to circularity by increasing recycled content. Michelin’s focus on sustainable materials and efficient manufacturing practices ensures its environmental impact is minimized while its contribution to biodiversity and natural resource conservation grows. This concept showcased during a factory tour that highlighted the company’s efforts in ensuring recycled and renewable products are incorporated into the manufacturing process.

Michelin’s Commitment to Sustainable Tires

As EVs place higher demands on tire performance due to weight and torque, Michelin is developing longer-lasting tires that incorporate renewable and recycled materials. By 2030, Michelin aims for 40% of its tire materials to be renewable, with a target of 100% by 2050. In June 2024, Michelin showcased a tire at the prestigious 24H Le Mans event, incorporating 71% sustainable materials – a significant milestone that underscores Michelin’s role in building a more sustainable future for mobility.

Michelin’s innovation extends beyond mobility to create life-enhancing solutions across sectors from healthcare to construction, positioning Michelin as a leader in composites and life-changing experiences. From setting industry standards in material sustainability to offering the Michelin Guide that enriches our exploration of the world, Michelin continues to demonstrate its commitment to a better, more sustainable future.
