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 ...

There is great excitement in the world of microprocessors, surrounding the RISC-V architecture. This is an open source modular instruction set specification that has seen implementations on FPGAs, and ...

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 ...

RISC-V is, like x86 and ARM, an instruction set architecture (ISA). Unlike x86 and ARM, it is a free and open standard that anyone can use without getting locked into someone else's processor designs ...

The open-source nature of RISC-V brings the benefits of a modular and royalty-free instruction set architecture (ISA) that eliminates licensing fees, can accelerate development, and fosters ...

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, ...

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?

The company appears well positioned to challenge CPU incumbents with high performance RISC-V CPUs and Vector Extensions to the open ISA architecture. The RISC-V CPU Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) ...

What if you could explore the innovative world of RISC-V computing without breaking the bank? Enter the Orange Pi RV2, a low-cost single-board computer (SBC) that’s making waves among developers, ...

In the roughly decade and a half since the Android mobile operating system appeared on the scene it has been primarily sold on devices with an ARM core at their heart, but along the way it has also ...

Two laptops with RISC-V processors developed by Chinese company SpacemiT are now available. The MUSE BOOK was first unveiled in April and is now available from ARACE for $299 and up, while the DC-ROMA ...
