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 ...

I've been using Raspberry Pi devices and similar single-board computers for years. They all have in common their ARM processors, just like most desktop computers are x86-64 processors, but I'm getting ...

ARM is the most successful microprocessor architecture on the planet, with its licensees shipping billions of chips a year. But a rival has emerged in the past few years called RISC-V, a new kind of ...

RISC-V software ecosystem (RISE), run by Linux Foundation Europe, is a coordinated effort in building foundational open-source tools for RISC-V. RISC-V (pronounced risk five) is getting a big boost ...

RISC-V architecture has made a lot of progress in recent years, but when I write about new RISC-V hardware I often add a note that the platform tends to lag behind x86_64 and ARM when it comes to ...

Why it matters: RISC V pioneer SiFive has gone through several iterations, but has now solidified a business model that essentially positions it as a direct competitor to Arm. If they can continue to ...

Samsung Electronics has been actively promoting the open-source instruction set architecture, RISC-V, as a crucial technology for developing next-generation AI chips. However, the ongoing ...

Processor vendors have always tried to create a large software ecosystem around their products, because it creates stickiness and it naturally “locks-in” large numbers of customers who have invested ...

Arm is facing down its biggest competition ever, with the up-and-coming RISC-V architecture threatening to unseat it as the CPU at the center of almost every portable device. Now, one of Arm’s biggest ...

In context: The RISC-V chip architecture is just ten years old, while the x86 standard was first introduced in 1978. Yet, someone is trying to bring a somewhat working emulation of Intel's CPU ...
