Many companies today are exploring free, open-source hardware and software as an alternative to closed, costly instruction set architectures (ISAs). RISC-V is a free, open, and extensible ISA that’s ...
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 ...
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) ...
SILICON VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ashling and MIPS announced today that Ashling’s RiscFree™ Toolchain has been extended to support MIPS RISC-V ISA based IP cores. RiscFree™ is Ashling’s ...
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 ...
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 ...
Forward-looking: Despite some setbacks and general uncertainty about the future, the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) is slowly growing its presence in the open-source market. Now, there's a ...
Andrea Gallo, CEO of RISC-V International, used his appearance at the MIPS Forum during Computex 2026 to declare that RISC-V has completed its transition from academic project to industrial standard — ...
In almost every discussion about RISC-V's position in the ecosystem, the instruction set architecture (ISA) is often seen as a direct competitor to Arm. Most people view the two ISAs as being engaged ...
Chris Thomas was a reporter at Android Police from 2022 until 2025. As smartphone users, we carry an incredible amount of computing power in our pockets every day. Even today's most affordable phones ...
It’s an exciting time in the world of microprocessors, as the long-held promise of devices with open-source RISC-V cores is coming to fruition. Finally we might be about to see open-source from the ...
