Andes: the Biggest Microprocessor IP Company You've Never Hear OfSemiWiki - Paul McLellanOct. 17, 2013 |
I wrote in April about Andes Technology, a microprocessor IP licensing company that even the person sitting next to me, a strategic marketing guy from Qualcomm had never heard of. So, OK, if you read that earlier article you had at least heard of them.
Part of the reason you haven't heard of them is that they are in Taiwan (in Hsinchu) and most of their initial business was with Taiwanese companies, especially Mediatek. But they have started to go global and now have 60 licensees including a couple each in Korea and Japan and some in China. They just recently closed their first US licensee. Their licensees have shipped over 300 million chips containing their cores.
