RISC-V summit shows automotive gains, AI software gaps
The sixth RISC-V China Summit opened in Shenzhen on October 19, hosted by RIOS Lab, with discussions spanning automotive chips, AI, data centers, software, and chip design. TMTPost reported that automotive RISC-V had reached concrete production milestones: Zijing Semiconductor said its Zijing M100 automotive MCU entered vehicle production on December 18, 2025, while Changsha Evening News reported that the company’s automotive-chip shipments exceeded 10 million units. AI and data-center presentations focused on instruction-set extensions, processor cores, IP, and software stacks, but did not provide public deployment, customer, or shipment figures.
The summit offers concrete evidence of RISC-V adoption in automotive while showing that its AI and data-center ecosystem still lacks demonstrated commercial scale and mature supporting software.
10月19日，第六届RISC-V中国峰会在深圳会展中心（福田）开幕，由RISC-V国际开源实验室（RIOS Lab）主办，会期两天。据主办方数据，本届峰会吸引3000余名线下专业观众、150余家参展商及研究机构，线上覆盖80万行业人群。次日，人工智能、数据中心与高性能计算、软件生态、芯片设计与验证、汽车电子与工业、嵌入式与物联网、产学合作等七个平行分论坛同时举行。
从各分论坛释放的信息看，RISC-V各方向推进速度并不一致：车规方向已给出量产上车的时间点和出货数字，AI与数据中心方向仍集中在指令集扩展、IP核与软件栈，商用规模还缺少公开数据。
车规芯片先拿出了量产与出货数字
汽车电子、工业与机器人分论坛上，紫荆半导体展示了长城汽车孵化的车规芯片量产实践。紫荆M100是国内首颗基于开源RISC-V内核设计的车规级MCU，2025年12月18日量产上车，目前用于组合大灯、氛围灯、组合开关等车身控制环节；紫荆半导体称，这是全球首款量产上车的RISC-V车规级芯片。据长沙晚报10月9日报道，该公司车规级芯片出货量已突破1000万颗，产品从技术验证进入规模化供货阶段。
