RISC-V aims to break up the proprietary hold on processor design in exactly the same way that open-source software liberated huge swathes of the industry.

MIPS Technologies released details this week of the latest incarnation of the architecture that defined RISC at a time when the rest of the industry was fully engaged in CISC architecture processors.

This association mistakenly suggests that "x86 versus ARM" can be classified neatly into "CISC versus RISC," with x86 being CISC and ARM being RISC. Thirty years ago, this was true. It's not true ...

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 ...

This architecture is expected to revolutionize the wireless-networking market in much the same way that CISC and RISC transformed desktop and high-performance computing.

A new study comparing the Intel X86, the ARM and MIPS CPUs finds that microarchitecture is more important than instruction set architecture, RISC or CISC. If you are one of the few hardware or ...

Explore how RISC-V is transforming the CPU market by enabling startups and companies to customize applications without licensing barriers, as explained by Ananant Systems' CEO Chitu Singh.

Unlike 1998, though, RISC vs. CISC actually matters, now. A close look at the design of Intel's newest mobile architecture, officially named Atom, will show why the decades-old "RISC vs. CISC ...
