RISC-V, pronounced “risk five,” is a modern open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles. In simple terms, it’s like a blueprint that ...

It was only a matter of time, perhaps, but the skyrocketing costs of designing chips is colliding with the ever-increasing need for performance, price/performance, and performance per watt. Something ...

Experts At The Table: RISC-V provides a platform for customization, but verifying those changes remains challenging. Semiconductor Engineering discussed the issue with John Min, vice president of ...

Needs continue to shape modern technology trends. For instance, with the rise in demand for semiconductors in electric vehicles, high-end servers in data centers, and artificial intelligence ...

RISC-V architecture is gaining traction in China as a geopolitically neutral alternative to x86 and ARM architectures dominated by the U.S. The rise of RISC-V presents a potential risk to Advanced ...

For more background, check out our Apple and ARM video. RISC-V is a processor architecture and instruction set developed at UC Berkeley. It's attracted huge interest from everyone from startups to ...

How far can a RISC-V design be pushed and still be compliant? The answer isn’t always black-and-white because the RISC-V concept is very different from previous open-source projects. But as interest ...

We’ve been following the open, royalty-free RISC-V ISA for a while. At first we read the specs, and then we saw RISC-V cores in microcontrollers, but now there’s a new board that offers enough ...

Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to break free from the dominance of proprietary computing architectures like x86 and ARM? For decades, these platforms have dictated the rules of the game, ...

Talk of RISC-V hitting 25% market penetration has been doing the rounds this week, with recent moves by Meta and Qualcomm often cited as evidence that the instruction set is moving beyond hobbyist ...

MIPS, a GlobalFoundries company, today unveiled details of the MIPS S8200 processor IP to enable next-generation AI workloads ...
