Statement 1 is correct: DHRUV64 is the third chip fabricated under the Digital India RISC-V (DIR-V) Programme, which was launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) with the objective of creating a portfolio of homegrown microprocessors. It follows the fabrication of the previous THEJAS32 (fabricated at Silterra, Malaysia) and THEJAS64 (fabricated at SCL, Mohali). DHRUV64 itself was taped out on a 28-nm process node.
Statement 2 is correct: DHRUV64 is India’s first homegrown 1.0 GHz, 64-bit dual-core microprocessor. Developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the Microprocessor Development Programme (MDP), it is an application-class processor built on the open-source RISC-V architecture. It features dual VEGA AS2161 cores and is designed to handle embedded Linux workloads for strategic and commercial sectors like 5G infrastructure, industrial automation, and IoT gear.
