Shanghai Xinlianxin Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (CIP United) is an intellectual property (IP) provider and integrated circuit design service company headquartered in Shanghai, China. The company was established on December 26, 2018. Its founding team is comprised of semiconductor industry professionals from Silicon Valley, mainland China, and Taiwan.
In early 2019, CIP United secured the exclusive and irrevocable commercial operating rights for MIPS technology in China, Hong Kong, and Macau from Wave Computing and MIPS. This agreement includes the MIPS CPU architecture, all its cores, and the authority to sublicense these technologies. This licensing arrangement provides CIP United and its customers with protection against patent infringement risks. The company's primary focus is to develop and provide independently controllable IP, offering value-added services for advanced System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designs. Their business model centers on licensing MIPS CPU technology and providing comprehensive IC design services, from initial architecture to mass production.
CIP United serves corporates in the AI industry and other sectors like IoT and communications by providing advanced SoC design solutions. The firm's offerings include optimizing existing CPU cores within the fabrication process, developing new CPU cores and derivatives, and supporting domestic and international clients' technological activities. A key aspect of their strategy is the development of Chiplet and die bank technologies, which aim to lower the economic barrier for high-end process chips, shorten development timelines, and mitigate risks for clients. In November 2021, the company secured $27 million in a Series A funding round.
