As of Thursday, Imagination Technologies no longer features CPUs among the technologies its website lists under products and solutions, and the APXM-6200 no longer appears among licensable designs. Aiming to deliver more performance in less area than Arm’s Cortex-A5xx CPUs, the APXM-6200 targeted application processing. However, RISC-V has achieved its success with low-level control CPUs. Those are less lucrative, and the RISC-V market is crowded with startups, established IP suppliers, and free, open-source options. Considering these dynamics, Imagination has decided that discretion is the better part of valor.
