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 ...

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 just got our hands on some engineering pre-samples of the ESP32-C3 chip and modules, and there’s a lot to like about this chip. The question is what should you compare this to; is it more an ESP32 ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the verification of RISC-V processors with Pete Hardee, group director for product management at Cadence; Mike Eftimakis, vice president for strategy and ...

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 ...

Why it matters: RISC V pioneer SiFive has gone through several iterations, but has now solidified a business model that essentially positions it as a direct competitor to Arm. If they can continue to ...

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 ...
