# Welcome to Libre-SoC ([provisionally renamed](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/2020-January/003580.html) from Libre-RISCV)!

+LibreSOC strives to deliver a fully capable and competitive Libre integrated System on Chip. We want to maximize the degree of trust a customer can place in his or her processor. We do this by providing the customer the freedom to study, modify, and redistribute the SOC source from HDL to VLSI.

+Right now, we're targeting a (quad core, 800mhz, dual issue, GPU, VPU, [and later an ML inference core] ) SOC.

## Why a Libre SOC?
Its quite hard to guarantee that a performant processors(think pipelined, out-of-order) are functionally perfectly correct. In fact, it often turns out that they [aren’t](https://meltdownattack.com):
Such a processor is referred to as a Libre processor. However, processors themselves are only a part of the picture. Nowadays, most contemporary computing tasks involve artificial intelligence, media consumption, wireless connectivity, etc.

## But Why do I need a LibreSOC?
Its entirely possible that you're OK with the fact that modern processors have
