Many believe that the future of chip design—and the development of new technologies like next-generation artificial intelligence (AI)—will depend on RISC-V architecture. RISC-V is an open standard ...

The RISC-V architecture is making significant strides in the PC industry, signaling a new era of innovation and competition. While its performance currently trails behind older Intel processors and ...

I was discussing with a colleague about the concept of architecture license in RISC-V. I realized that, in the open-source world, it can be a little tricky to grasp. In a traditional processor IP ...

RISC-V is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that rapidly transforms the CPU design and development landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V allows free access to architecture ...

There’s been a significant shift toward RISC-V architectures in SoC design. This article highlights its impact on the semiconductor industry and role in fostering innovation and flexibility in ...

SiFive’s role in creating RISC-V and driving it forward. How RISC-V transformed from a student project into a globally used architecture. The importance of open-standard architecture. RISC-V ...

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 ...

Why it matters: Arm and x86 processor architectures made a fair number of mistakes when first introduced to the market. You would think that developers working with the open-source RISC-V would have ...

Closed systems stagnate innovation—Linux users know this. Licenses, royalties, and fees keep the well-funded in control. RISC-V throws that out the window because it's free to adopt, adapt, and ...

Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...

Chris has reported for various tech and consumer goods outlets over the past decade, including Android Police and MakeUseOf since early 2022. Previously, he has contributed to outlets such as ...
