For those not immediately familiar with RISC-V, it is a relatively new CPU architecture which takes advantage of Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles. RISC-V is an open standard ...

Computer chip designs are expensive and hard to license. That’s all about to change thanks to the popular open standard known as RISC-V. RISC-V International, Intel, SiFive, SemiFive, China RISC-V ...

If you wanted to make a CPU, and you’re not AMD or Intel, there are two real choices: ARM and RISC-V. But what are the differences between the two, and why do companies choose one over the other?

First and foremost, RISC-V is a modular, open-source, instruction set definition and nothing more. RISC-V as an ecosystem is much more. The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it ...

What if the future of computing wasn’t locked behind proprietary architectures? Imagine a world where developers and hobbyists alike could harness the power of open source hardware to build, innovate, ...

With Arm slated to start trading on the Nasdaq this week, investors are looking at potential risks for the company. While analysts told CNBC it's not an immediate threat, Arm itself warned that if it ...

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, ...

Google has announced that it will support the RISC-V architecture. This is an alternative computing architecture to Arm, which powers virtually all smartphones. Android only supports two computing ...

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 ...

The Star64 is a single-board computer with a quad-core RISC-V processor, support for up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage (as well as a microSD card reader). Developed by the folks at Pine64, ...
