Andes (Condor is owned by Andes) seems to get relatively little press Vs other RISCV outfits. My sense is they've been quietly building a very solid RISCV CPU business with a great IP portfolio.
This latest core looks very interesting, can't wait to see it hit silicon and see what it can really do!
I think they've been doing more RISC-V deals than SiFive for quite a few years, due largely I think to their proximity to and established relationships with (for NDS32) a lot of the current customers for RISC-V.
