The RISC-V CPU architecture currently accounts for under 1% of the world’s processor market, but that is going to change rapidly over the next years as its parallel processing is perfectly suited to ...

Over the holiday break, the footage from the recent “RISC-V Summit” was posted for the world to see, and would you believe that Google showed up to profess its love for the up-and-coming CPU ...

High-quality RISC-V implementations are becoming more numerous, but it is the extensibility of the architecture that is driving a lot of design activity. The challenge is designing and implementing ...

This article is part of the TechXchange: RISC-V: The Instruction-Set Alternative. SiFive, a startup developing IP based on the RISC-V architecture, said NASA has selected it to supply the core CPU for ...

The industry is increasingly talking about benefits brought by the RISC-V architecture, but is it even the right starting point? While it may not be perfect, it may provide the flexibility necessary ...

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 ...

Chip design firm SiFive has raised $175 million at a $2.5 billion as RISC-V emerges as an alternative processor architecture. The funding comes at a time when RISC-V is showing greater momentum as an ...

SiFive is expanding its family of high-end RISC-V CPU cores, aiming to unseat Arm’s Cortex-A series in space-constrained, performance-hungry designs such as wearables, robots, and other consumer ...
