 # Ibex RISC-V Core
 
-Ibex is a small and efficient, 32-bit, in-order RISC-V core with a 2-stage pipeline that implements
-the RV32IMC instruction set architecture.
+Ibex is a production-quality open source 32-bit RISC-V CPU core written in
+SystemVerilog. The CPU core is heavily parametrizable and well suited for
+embedded control applications. Ibex is being extensively verified and has
+seen multiple tape-outs. Ibex supports the Integer (I) or Embedded (E),
+Integer Multiplication and Division (M), Compressed (C), and B (Bit
+Manipulation) extensions.
 
+The block diagram below shows the *small* parametrization with a 2-stage
+pipeline.
