With the development of chip technology, an increasing number of computing units are integrated within a single chip. Each computing unit can run independent firmware. This has evolved the BIOS specification from defining the relationship between the BIOS and the operating system (OS) in a chip system with a single type of computing unit to defining the relationships among various firmware in a chip system with multiple types of computing units, as well as the relationships between the OS and various firmware.

The development of chip technology has also driven the intelligence of peripheral devices. An increasing number of peripherals are integrated with independent computing units that can run independent device firmware, which has changed the relationship between the BIOS and the peripherals.

The evolution of the computing architecture, along with the demand for the utilization rate of hardware resources, enables the pooling of hardware resources, and the connotation and extension of the BIOS specification will also change.

The industry has been continuously exploring the New Bios Special Interest Group technology. There is a demand for reducing the difficulty of BIOS development and improving development efficiency. Therefore, the BIOS technical standard that unifies interfaces, unifies the software architecture, and supports the reuse of different firmware will be beneficial for reducing research and development costs and improving development efficiency. The New Bios Special Interest Group Committee has been established against this background, meeting the development of the computing architecture and industrial needs, and achieving the technological evolution of the BIOS.
