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 ...

Part 2: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the business and technology landscape for RISC-V with Zdenek Prikryl, CTO of Codasip; Helena Handschuh, a Rambus Security Technologies fellow; ...

Arm dominates the microprocessor architecture business, as its licensees have shipped 150 billion chips to date and are shipping 50 billion more in the next two years. But RISC-V is challenging that ...

RISC-V, the open-standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) conceived by UC Berkeley developers in 2010, is going from strength to strength. The RISC in RISC-V stands for Reduced Instruction Set ...

We’ve been following the open, royalty-free RISC-V ISA for a while. At first we read the specs, and then we saw RISC-V cores in microcontrollers, but now there’s a new board that offers enough ...

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 ...

An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Impact Link US chip maker Nvidia's $40 billion mega-deal to acquire chip designer Arm sent shockwaves through the semiconductor industry when it was announced ...

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 ...

Ok I've been reading about computer development in the late 80's to early 90's. Such as the hype around RISC CPUs. RISC at the time was suppose to drive i386 out of the market. Microsoft even put ...

I thought this issue might make good Battlefront fodder. <P>Earlier this morning, CNET was streaming segments of a live conference speech by Compaq's Mike Cappellas. Someone asked Cappellas if he ...
