A Spanish-designed RISC-V chip, BER10, is now available for validation in supercomputing and data center projects. Developed by Openchip, this 64-bit processor aims to boost Europe’s independence in advanced silicon and support future AI accelerators.
On July 30, 2026, Openchip introduced BER10, a 64-bit processor developed in Spain and built on the open RISC-V architecture. After two and a half years of engineering, the chip is now ready for companies and research centers to test and validate their high-performance computing projects.
BER10 is not just a prototype. The silicon is fully functional, capable of running a complete Linux operating system, and leverages cutting-edge Gate-All-Around technology at under 2 nanometers. This positions it as a foundation for future accelerators targeting artificial intelligence and supercomputing workloads.
