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 to ...

RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture (ISA), is reshaping the global computing landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs such as x86, widely used by Intel and AMD, or ARM, which dominates mobile and ...

RISC-V is an open-source instruction set definition managed by RISC-V International. This TechXchange includes content that delves into the architecture and design of a RISC-V processor core. How did ...

The era of universal processor architectures is giving way to workload-specific designs optimized for performance, power, and scalability. As data-centric applications in artificial intelligence (AI), ...

Some of the articles online are framing this as a CISC-versus-RISC battle, but that's an outdated comparison. The "classic" formulation of the x86 versus ARM debate goes back to two different methods ...

Wireless networking solves many of the cost problems of wired networking by requiring less infrastructure and equipment. Yet wireless networking also must grapple with its own issues. For instance, in ...

I was discussing with a colleague about the concept of architecture license in RISC-V. I realized that, in the open-source world, it can be a little tricky to grasp. In a traditional processor IP ...

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. “Transport triggered architectures ...

Chris has reported for various tech and consumer goods outlets over the past decade, including Android Police and MakeUseOf since early 2022. Previously, he has contributed to outlets such as ...
