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 ...

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 ...

Is RISC-V the future? This is a question that we often get asked, and let’s assume that we mean ‘is RISC-V going to be the dominant ISA in the processor market?’ This is certainly an unfolding ...

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 ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the verification of RISC-V processors with Pete Hardee, group director for product management at Cadence; Mike Eftimakis, vice president for strategy and ...

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 ...

What is RISC-V? The basics of RISC-V. Applications and uses of RISC-V. RISC-V is described as an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) that's based on the reduced instruction set computer ...

Qualcomm has acquired chipmaker Ventana Micro Systems, which develops server processors based on the RISC-V architecture. The ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quintauris, a provider of RISC-V-based solutions, announced a strategic partnership with SiFive, the provider of RISC-V processor IP.
