A new instruction set by the original creator of MIPS aims to reinvent the ultra-low power, high-efficiency processor -- and to do so with an architecture that's fundamentally open and available ...

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 ...

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 ...

RISC vs CISC chips The technology behind nearly every modern smartphone falls into a relatively specific category of computer design.

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 ...

Intel, which has made billions from its closed-source, complex instruction set computer (CISC) x86 processors, is joining forces with RISC-V, the open-source reduced instruction set computer (RISC ...

About SiFive SiFive is the leading provider of processor cores, accelerators, and SoC IP to create domain-specific architecture based on the free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture.

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

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 ...

Verification IP extended with Floating-Point architectural validation test suites based on golden reference model and coverage-based development.
