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 ...

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 ...

It was only a matter of time, perhaps, but the skyrocketing costs of designing chips is colliding with the ever-increasing need for performance, price/performance, and performance per watt. Something ...

Experts At The Table: RISC-V provides a platform for customization, but verifying those changes remains challenging. Semiconductor Engineering discussed the issue with John Min, vice president of ...

Needs continue to shape modern technology trends. For instance, with the rise in demand for semiconductors in electric vehicles, high-end servers in data centers, and artificial intelligence ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

How far can a RISC-V design be pushed and still be compliant? The answer isn’t always black-and-white because the RISC-V concept is very different from previous open-source projects. But as interest ...

Elektor is seeking submissions for its online conference on RISC-V on April 15, 2026. The Call for Presentaions is open until ...

The MIPS S8200 is a RISC-V neural processing unit designed to run transformer-based and agentic AI models directly on ...

MIPS, a GlobalFoundries company, today unveiled details of the MIPS S8200 processor IP to enable next-generation AI workloads ...
