NextSilicon, a leader in next-generation computing solutions for AI and high-performance computing (HPC), today announced plans to productize its Arbel RISC-V core into a 64-core and a 128-core, enterprise-grade processor suited to deliver ultra-speed performance for agentic tools, expected to be available in early 2028. Following an October preview, the company is now sharing expanded technical detail and a roadmap shaped by early customer and partner feedback. This announcement coincides with NextSilicon's presentation at the RISC-V Summit.

NextSilicon designed Arbel from the ground up for the performance demands of AI infrastructure and HPC. The move from test chip to production roadmap follows customer and partner silicon evaluations, including HPC program leads, AI infrastructure architects, and data center operators. Their input has validated Arbel's key performance attributes and is shaping the requirements and architecture decisions for the 64-core production processor.
