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 ...

ARM is the most successful microprocessor architecture on the planet, with its licensees shipping billions of chips a year. But a rival has emerged in the past few years called RISC-V, a new kind of ...

The dark satanic rumour mill has manufactured a hell-on-earth yarn claiming that Google is starting to get cold feet about supporting the RISC-V chip. The rumours started after a Senior Staff Software ...

I've been using Raspberry Pi devices and similar single-board computers for years. They all have in common their ARM processors, just like most desktop computers are x86-64 processors, but I'm getting ...

RISC-V software ecosystem (RISE), run by Linux Foundation Europe, is a coordinated effort in building foundational open-source tools for RISC-V. RISC-V (pronounced risk five) is getting a big boost ...

RISC-V architecture has made a lot of progress in recent years, but when I write about new RISC-V hardware I often add a note that the platform tends to lag behind x86_64 and ARM when it comes to ...

Samsung Electronics has been actively promoting the open-source instruction set architecture, RISC-V, as a crucial technology for developing next-generation AI chips. However, the ongoing ...

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 ...

Qualcomm and Google have partnered to develop a RISC-V wearable solution for use with smart watches based on the Wear OS by Google. The companies announced an expansion of their partnership to develop ...

Processor vendors have always tried to create a large software ecosystem around their products, because it creates stickiness and it naturally “locks-in” large numbers of customers who have invested ...

EVM still powers the ecosystem due to tooling, trust, and compatibility. Vitalik’s April 2025 proposal aims to replace the EVM with RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture. RISC-V offers ...

In context: The RISC-V chip architecture is just ten years old, while the x86 standard was first introduced in 1978. Yet, someone is trying to bring a somewhat working emulation of Intel's CPU ...
