British startup launches low-power RISC-V processor design to address the twin problems of memory and energy.

The microcontroller sector is evolving in an exciting direction by providing designers with a growing menu of choices tailored to their performance and power requirements. Unlike the classic 1990s ...

These first forays into the world of simplified processor architecture both paved the way for the RISC platforms we know today such as ARM and RISC-V, but also helped CISC platforms make ...

There is one completely open-source and free architecture though, known as RISC-V, and its design and philosophy allow anyone to build and experiment with it, like this build which implements a ...

The semiconductor industry is in for some big changes as new design architectures come to bear. Arm chips made headway in markets traditionally dominated by Intel and AMD, and RISC-V chips could ...

For example, the IBM PowerPC (a RISC architecture) has an ISA of a similar size to the IBM System 370 (a CISC architecture). Meanwhile, the DEC PDP-8 (a CISC architecture) only has 8 instructions.
