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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The technology driving our world today is increasingly complex. From the latest flashy AI technology like ChatGPT to autonomous cars and satellite launches to the innovations behind our everyday ...

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 ...

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, ...

The semiconductor industry increasingly needs more flexible and scalable processor architectures, driving the growing adoption of RISC-V. Originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley ...

Over the past few years, supply chain issues have shaken up the chip industry and have reinforced how important it is to have a competitive market for IP and silicon that isn’t controlled by any one ...

An emerging chip architecture gaining traction in smartphones, automotive technologies, and other electronics may find adoption stymied by security concerns. Using x86 and ARM processors for hardware ...
