German startup Ubitium finishes tape-out of its RISC-V chip, the UB410, on Samsung’s 8nm process, targeting 2027 volume production.

German startup Ubitium has completed the tape-out of its first RISC-V-based chip, the UB410, on Samsung Foundry’s 8nm process, a key milestone ahead of 2027 volume production. The chip, designed to replace multiple specialized processors in devices like cars and drones, runs Linux and real-time systems simultaneously, handles audio and radar processing, and performs edge AI without separate accelerators. Built around a reconfigurable processing array, it dynamically shifts between CPU, DSP, GPU, and parallel modes. The company, backed by industry partners and decades of expertise, aims to simplify embedded systems, cut costs, and shorten development cycles across consumer, automotive, and defense sectors.
