Rizal Microprocessor: First Filipino-made Processor

BitMICRO Networks Inc. is behind this project and is already in the design phase of the Rizal microprocessor. “What we’re hoping to do is, once we’re done, we can show a success story. More investors will come to the Philippines and invest. That’s the whole idea. Because then, they would believe that, hey, the Philippines can really do it and they’re capable,” said Rey Bruce, company's chairman and CEO.


The Rizal processor is the first attempt at developing such a chip for BiTMICRO, envisioned to become the first commercial all-Filipino made processor that would run a multitude of devices.

Rizal Processor will be used to power and run mobile phones, smartphones, gadgets, mp3 players, tablets, and soon enough laptops and PCs. 


The project is expected to cost around P90 million for research and around P112 million for fabrication.
