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 ...

U.S. lawmakers are pushing President Joe Biden’s administration to limit American corporate engagement with open-source chip technology RISC-V, alleging that it aids Beijing’s semiconductor goals and ...

The two companies, both long-time partners of Arm, are extending their collaboration on wearables with a RISC-V Snapdragon Wearable platform to power the next-generation Wear OS solutions. “What about ...

Researchers point to a microprocessor on a space-ready motherboard used in spaceflight applications. SwRI is evaluating reduced instruction set computers (RISC-V or “risk five”) and Advanced RISC ...

In almost every discussion about RISC-V's position in the ecosystem, the instruction set architecture (ISA) is often seen as a direct competitor to Arm. Most people view the two ISAs as being engaged ...

A new instruction set by the original creator of MIPS aims to reinvent the ultra-low power, high-efficiency processor -- and to do so with an architecture that's fundamentally open and available to ...

In the roughly decade and a half since the Android mobile operating system appeared on the scene it has been primarily sold on devices with an ARM core at their heart, but along the way it has also ...

When the number two provider of CPU designs jumps on the RISC-V train, it is a significant milestone. The open-source RISC-V design is on a roll, displacing Arm in many SoC development plans. ARC and ...

As AI drives demand for advanced computing infrastructure, chip architectures are at a crossroads. While proprietary instruction set architectures (ISAs) like x86 and Arm dominate the market, their ...
