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 ...

S2C, MachineWare, and Andes remain committed to advancing verification methodologies and providing scalable, efficient, and robust development tools for the RISC-V community. Together, the companies ...

The Android Common Kernel is about to remove support for the RISC-V architecture. Android Common Kernel is Google’s fork of the upstream Linux kernel but with Android-specific additions. RISC-V is an ...

RISC-V chip design and IP powerhouse, SiFive, just announced availability of its new HiFive Premier P550 development board, and it's sure to make waves at the RISC-V Summit this week in Santa Clara.

We’ve covered the Framework Laptop 13 primarily as a consumer Windows laptop, reviewing versions with multiple Intel and AMD processors. But the system’s modular nature makes it possible to expand it ...

An open standard called RISC-V is rewriting the economics of chip design and shaking up the tech sector’s power dynamics. RISC-V is one of MIT Technology Review’s 10 Breakthrough Technologies of 2023.

With its blend of open-source freedoms with the benefits of standardization, the RISC-V (risk-five) Foundation is attracting widespread industry interest. Its core specifications are stable and on the ...

I first came across RISC for the end user back in 2012 when I had the chance to review a MIPS-powered, Android based tablet which was an eye opener. So when, more than a decade later, the chance to ...

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), ...

Back in 1998, when I first began covering hardware at the newly launched Ars Technica, much of my writing focused on issues raised by the raging Mac vs. PC flame wars that took place in computing ...
