About our company

Ventana enables the rapid and efficient development of customized high performance processors

Customer driven innovation

Ventana is enabling customer innovation in the realm of high performance computing.

We do this by developing some of the world's highest performance CPUs, and providing the option to take them in chiplet form for rapid productization.

This is mixed in with the ability to customize the solution so customer workloads are accelerated far beyond what could be achieved with an off the shelf CPU.

Our designs are easily leveraged for use in custom platform solutions through the use of open standards such as the RISC-V architecture for our CPUs and UCIe/BoW die to die interconnects that work with our ecosystem of chiplet partners.
