At the elexcon 2025 exhibition, Black Gold unveiled its latest innovation, the E901 RISC-V processor. Built on the efficient RV32E architecture, the E901 features a streamlined 2-stage pipeline and a versatile coprocessor interface. This design delivers impressive performance metrics, achieving 1.22 DMIPS/MHz and 2.88 Coremark/MHz. Fabricated with advanced 40nm process technology, the E901 boasts a minimal configuration area of just 10.7K gates, marking a significant 39% reduction in area compared to its predecessor. Additionally, it offers a 48% improvement in energy efficiency and a 48% decrease in dynamic power consumption.

These attributes position the E901 as an ideal candidate for embedded systems where size, cost, and power consumption are paramount considerations. With its focus on ultimate simplicity and efficiency, the E901 is set to revolutionize the landscape of embedded system design.
